With only 2 goals conceded in 6 games and those against Chelsea and Woolwich I have to finally agree with you !
I wouldn't read too much into that.
Last 6 games - Norwich (A), Everton (H), Chelsea (A), Villa (A), City (H), Utd (A) - that's 4 away games which they draw 2 of. Other than Utd they only lost by the odd goal too.
Great news about Andros, a much needed boost to the squad.
So assuming Lennon would keep his place (?) no reason to think otherwise... do we reckon Andros will be straight back in the team, which would mean Eriksen moving somewhere... which would mean Timmy's boy Nabil getting dropped???
Hmmmm.... could be a problem!
But I imagine Timmy likes clichés, so here's one; "it's the kind of problem a manager likes to have!"

Drop Nabil anyway and play Eriksen in the middle alongside Dembele
Drop Soldado and stick Eriksen in behind Adebayor with Dembele and Bentaleb in midfield.
Townsend and Lennon on the flanks.
I've been happy with the 4-4-2 so far and the rejuvenation it's brought along but against Swansea that pass the ball better than anyone there's a case to be made for 3 in midfield.

This or unchanged (ie no Townsend in the team until Lennon does really poor in which case Townsend comes in on the right). I think the team will be unchanged. 442 will be kept until a striker is injured, I think. Even if Sherwood immediately wants to play Townsend on the right instead of Lennon he won't do it as long as Lennon is doing all right. Too much of a pressure on Townsend and leaves Sherwood open for massive critique if Townsend fails (which I think he would because he's not better than Lennon).

There is no negativity - people simply want the best 11 on the field, not Timmeh's favourite 11

I know - and that is what often costs us points
Same starting lineup, with Townsend to come on in the second if we're not in the lead. But I'd prefer this:
And backed up by solid logic too.

Swansea have won only five games this season. They have won 2 of the last 10.Their injury list includes: Michu,Hernandez,Dyer,Guzman,Cañas and Vorm
So this is a 'should' win for us given the context (ie form and injuries) and there wouldn't be a better time to play them.
It has been on and off for Adebayor, so I suppose we should be approaching the 'on' part of his performance pattern.
If we are going to play with two strikers then soldado needs to turn up too.It was embarassing to say the least the way they were camped upfront while bentaleb and dembele were getting bullied by Palace.Otherwise we should start with Eriksen in the hole ,one striker up front (ade) and townsend/Lamela on the right if soldado doesn't improve.
