Graham Potter claimed size matters after Swansea City were again muscled out of more Championship points at Nottingham Forest. Despite leading 1-0 late on and having far more of the ball, there was a sense of inevitability when Forest scored twice from set-pieces to turn the game around. It was exactly the same as happened in their recent defeat at West Brom and it appears teams have now realised Potter’s side tend to crumble under physical pressure – especially from set-pieces.

The 30-year old Dolgellau ace led after setting the fastest time on the opening stage, dropped to second for two stages and then bounced back to retake the lead with two stunning fastest times in the afternoon. The only drama was when the M-Sport Ford Fiesta WRC driver caught Kris Meeke on today’s sixth and final stage. The Ulsterman had started the stage with rear suspension damage on his Toyota Yaris WRC, and could do little to avoid delaying Evans when the flying Welshman caught him on a narrow and twisty Tarmac section.
