Without boring you to death, Swansea are now playing with a back 4. Latibeaudiere has to be the slowest R.B. in the championship. Cabango alongside him is not the quickest either. Alvaro has to play and attack this weakness. Swansea are not a big side and their inability to deal with corners and set pieces is another weakness that needs to be attacked. My final weakness to target is the young C.B. Wood. With the change in Swansea's shape, he's increasingly carrying the ball out of defence and can get caught out of position. Preston need to be aware and utilise Cannon's pace with a quick ball over the top.
Piroe is the danger man, he's playing deeper, using his ability to hit a ball hard and low with his left foot, generally from the right hand side of the penalty box. It's definitely a game for Diaby, but I'd have Hughes picking up Piroe. If Hughes is successful, Piroe will drift to the left hand side and Storey needs to be on his game 100%. Swansea's second danger man Ntcham may well be out. He was caught in a similar fashion to Browne just before H.T. yesterday. After examining his knee the physios worked on what appeared to be a dead leg, he didn't return for second half.
Finally, with Diaby in the side Preston should be aggressive and endeavour to play with a high line. Swansea have nothing to play for and are there for the taking. They don't like it up em!
