Norwich v Swansea Sat 25 Jan 12:30
The odds on us getting anything at Norwich have just tumbled with the Darling red card appeal predictably turned down by the (Cardiff) FAW Disciplinary Panel and he misses three matches.
I’ve looked at a clip of the tackle several times and can’t see much in it at all, clumsy maybe but unintentional, no malice intended, yellow card at most. Ex-Swan Brewster collapsed and rolled over and over in agony clutching his leg to sway the ref, but he was uninjured, nothing wrong with him, just trying to get our player sent off.
He was later substituted and booed off by Swans fans who saw the play acting. It’s rare for an ex-Swan to get booed off.

Norwich 5 (Sargent 44’, 63’, Dobbin 76’, Crnac 84’, Macondes 86’) - Swansea 1 (Cullen 62’)
Tough to even talk about this without swearing.
I am in shock that an average Norwich side trounced us and the late collapse was horrific to see.
We conceded just before half-time in a fairly even contest and we even managed to equalise second-half on 62’, but then proceeded to throw the game away with some pathetic defending.
The two full-backs Key and Tymon had nightmare games and were either beaten to the ball every time or left completely out of position up field, our flanks exposed completely, what tactics were these?
We were humiliated at the end and the position of the head-coach with his crazy tactics must now be under threat as we tumble down the table towards relegation.

Jackaway says “The two full-backs Key and Tymon had nightmare games and were either beaten to the ball every time or left completely out of position up field, our flanks exposed completely, what tactics were these?”
Williams says “Somehow we have gone from being on level terms to a complete capitulation. Tactically we were fine and we are in the game, no problem.”
So LW thinks his tactics are fine, he needs to face facts, it’s not working!
Our results this month make grim reading:
1/1 Portsmouth 4 - Swansea 0
4/1 WBA 1 - Swansea 1
12/1 Southampton 3 - Swansea 0
18/1 Cardiff 3 - Swansea 0
21/1 Swansea 1 - Sheff Utd 2
25/1 Norwich 5 - Swansea 1
W0 D1 L5 F3 A18
We’ve conceded a whopping 18 goals and tactically we are fine!
