Nottingham Forest Vs. Swansea City, 2011 nPower Championship Playoffs: Swansea’s Luck Running Out?

It’s been a bad 10 minutes to start the first half for Swansea City. Nottingham Forest has been the much better team to start the second half, as they should have been more often during the first half, due to the fact that their opponents have 10 men. Additionally, Swansea have been hit with yet another personnel blow, as striker Fabio Borini has gone off injured.

Dorus De Vries has been forced into duty for Swansea, and he made a stunning save on Lewis McGugan in the 53rd minute to keep Forest off the board. Robert Earnshaw has continued to look dangerous for the hosts, but he’s still not on the scoreboard. He’s missed two solid opportunities with shots over the bar in the second half, one of which was a very poor miss.

As if things weren’t bad enough for Swansea with 10 men and their opponents finally getting into the game, they now have injury troubles to deal with. Borini has come out of the game, and he has been replaced by Luke Moore, in what is the closest thing possible to a like for like change for Swansea.
