Introducing the visitors - SWANSEA CITY

Last updated : 16 October 2006 By Andy Van Hagen
Swansea visit the Bescot Stadium in a Johnstone's Paint Trophy Round One fixture, which will be a step up in class for Walsall. Walsall's home defences have only been broken by Bolton Wanderers, but Swansea will send a team with firepower that most League Two sides can only dream of.

Swansea's last visit to Bescot Stadium produced a nightmare display of defending from Walsall. It was one of the low points of Paul Merson's managementship as Swansea exposed Steve Staunton's lack of pace.
