League Cup 2nd round.
⚽️ Head-to-Head & Recent Form
Recent encounters favour Swansea: They’ve won five of the last six meetings (all competitions) against Plymouth.
2024–25 season highlight: Swansea secured a 3-0 win in April 2025.
Plymouth’s recent Cup struggles: Plymouth have progressed beyond this stage only once in the past six seasons; their last second-round win was in 2007–08.
⚽️ Referee: Elliot Bell will officiate. This is his second Swansea match—the first was a Championship game last season. He has experience in international exchanges, including matches in Japan. Assistants: Harley McKittick and Ross Murphy. Fourth official: Matthew Russell.
Bell had a shocker on the weekend, truly abysmal, highlighted by Sky Sports, Ref Watch.
No Watford dramatics please.
⚽️ Swansea City
Tactical adjustment:
Instead of pivoting around Matt Grimes (also known as the handbrake) Swansea now build through full-backs and wingers more often. Ethan Galbraith’s move to right-back in the last game showed how they can adapt by using midfielders in hybrid defensive roles. We can expect a changed side. However, there needs to be enough on the bench in case it goes all chips.
⚽️ From PASOTI - They Played For Both Sides

Only caught the last 30 mins but no, bloody awful. Only one team wanted it.
Yalcouye, well needs to learn a lot more about this level.
Parker, go on loan and get some experience elsewhere
Cullen, only on a few minutes but blowing through his backside
Sheehan, you need to be able to pump the side up more than this
But as I said, based on 30 mins only. |  |

Seems like 30 hrs
Horrific stuff as I stated before and very concerning although I’m assuming they are
Sheehan ?
Hmm | |

Andy Fisher MOTM then.
Of all the players done dirty by Martin, perhaps he suffered the most. |  |
| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |

I forgot to mention him earlier but in the 30 mins I saw plus the pens he was worthy of any motm award. | |

Sorinola seems to have found a new lease of life because I said on here when he was with us that he was in no way, shape or form a footballer, never mind of the professional persuasion.
Bar the penalty of course😁 [Post edited 26 Aug 22:00]

The most disappointing aspect was that none of our big-signing midfielders did anything special. Argyle seemed to have more urgency at times and Sorinola did surprisingly well (apart from his penalty). I thought Fisher played well. I don't agree that the cross was clearly in his territory, and he made some crucial saves. Vip scored a good goal and converted a confident penalty. He didn't do too much more but that is progress. | | | |

I sincerely hope they shake this off before Saturday. If they go into that game thinking because of Sheffield Wed’s problems they only need to show up then we’ll get hammered. Completely different mindset needed and Sheehan must take responsibility for that. | |

A home draw against a top 6 Premier might be what’s needed to kick start the poor attendances. might just be a really important win this one. |  | | |

It was poor all across the team, apart from Fisher. Didn't expect to be saying that.
is the pressure on Sheehan now he's full time boss, is it causing problems because when he was caretaker he made it look easy. Time will tell I guess.
The pen shootout was the best bit of the game.
Disappointing. | | | |
