The swans are on a run of four defeats, no goals and seemingly have lost all confidence in themselves and how to deliver goals and points. Millwall are on a healthy run of form.
Nailed on home win then eh ?

The swans are entering record breaking territory for all the wrong reasons. Here we go ...
Longest losing streak (League): 9 matches, 26 January 1991 to 19 March 1991 Longest non-scoring run (League): 6 matches, 6 February 1996 to 24 February 1996
Who would have thought it, it’s strange how we all take things for granted when they are going well, and even stranger the people who were being hailed as the new dawn in Swansea City’s recent history are two months later being shouted down - and are very persona non grata.
Millwall on the other hand have won their last three games.
So what’s going on ? Well, it’s like this. When you don’t score goals you draw games, when you don’t score goals and let them in you lose games. When you aren’t good enough to create chances to score goals and the other team does you lose games. If you are both shite, you draw games, but as we have seen you also lose games. This isn’t a conundrum, it’s what happens when your luck runs out, your heads are down and you feel sorry for yourself. Then you look at your bank balance, shrug your shoulders and play on your Xbox or PlayStation. It’s a great life being a loser.
A look back in anger
That’s a decent side.
Let’s go back to 2007 and Millwall v Swansea at the New Den. I chose this hame as I thought Kevin Austin was superb playing in this game. As we know he died of pancreatic cancer in 2018. Solid as a rock. Very dodgy penalty awarded against the swans, but still got the point.
Report - Roberto Martinez’s Swans extended their unbeaten run to eight games thanks to an influential performance from Paul Anderson. The on-loan Liverpool winger created the opening goal when his shot was parried into the path of Jason Scotland and the striker steered home. Millwall, under the guidance of new boss Jackett, responded through Zak Whitbread, and they went ahead 20 minutes from time thanks to Alan Dunne’s penalty. But Anderson had the final word, combining with Scotland to make it 2-2 on 78 minutes. The goal is credited to Darryl Duffy.

Which is why we needed an out and out centre forward in the January window.
Who knows where we would be if had got one.
Still come up with the problem of Cooper needing to change system or drop Ayew to make good use of one. Given the calibre of players we were being linked to (like Watters who Mick McCarthy doesn't even seem to consider worthwhile backup to Moore given recent comments) I don't think it would have changed our fortunes much.

Why the need to change the system?
The said centre forward would be in the middle of lowe and ayew, like yesterday.

Any striker of worth would have buried at least two certain headers into the back of the net. That cooper failed to bring in a striker over four Windows defines him.
Lowe and Ayew would and could create chances as could Hoolie,Routledge and Grimes.
It was and is appalling we have tried to manage without any striker at all.

Yesterday and the previous game were the change of system. A "proper 9" either rides the bench from January until April or Cooper drops Lowe or Ayew. We've had the personnel to go 4-3-3 all season if Cooper wanted to.
