Swansea City Post Match Thoughts

[harpo88]

Swansea are a really good side and we did pretty well to keep them restricted as much as we did. They will hammer a few sides far better than us this year. We lack composure upfront and that will hold us back.

When you consider the relative size and wealth of the two teams perhaps this result is the best we could hope for. Sadly, we don't do undeserved late equalizers, only concede them.
We really do have to hold any lead we obtain. Not all doom and gloom. We are still competing.

Poor first half mainly due to getting overrun on our right hand side both Olosunde and Zoon not really at the races . Good substitutions at half time Harding strengthened the right and Clarke did well on the left . Slowly got more into it I thought first 15 minutes or so in second half we was on top . they came back at us for 10 minutes where a good save from Blackman from a free kick and a brilliant save from Harding kept us in it . Last twenty minutes or so we were on top and pushing which coincided with Vass coming on . Some have criticised him again but for me he looked more dangerous than Miller who had a quiet game . Definite penalty and the corner their goalkeeper fumbled looked very close to going over the line to me ? . Still battling well and still plenty of time to go hopefully we can keep picking points up here and there

Should have had a point in the end. We were better when tricky trev came on. If ladapo had been on the pitch the one the goalie dropped would have been his. The ref neshed it for the handball because he knew he would have to send the player off as well if he had given the pen. Goose should have scored as well.

The ref was wa nk as usual. How cullen escaped getting a booking for constant fouling I will never know but the minute Barlaser debatably fouled him he got a yellow card straightaway. There is no reason to believe that the refs in this league are being any more fair to us this season. Its always like playing against 12 men.

Hirst is not the answer. Even I was hoping smith would come on for him.

Nothing again from corners and free kicks.

Why is it we only had 7 subs today? We have 2 weeks to get players fit for this and 2 players were out Wood and Ladapo who were ok when we finished our game against Preston. Why do we knacker our own players up in training? It is feckin criminal.

The rest of the results were very good for us so we can't afford to slip up at QPR. And at least we weren't hammered which we would have been a couple of seasons ago.

MOM: Harding, Tricky Trev apart from one slip up in defence.

There you go again accusing us of knackering our own players.
Calling it criminal.
You’ve got no ****ing proof of this and you need to stop with the accusations it’s slanderous against the manager.

You are worse than Guru with the repeated opinions that you claim are facts.

“Good substitutions at half time”

Yes but why not start the match with that team selection?

Isn't that like saying "Why didn't PW ask the Swansea manager how they were going to play today" or "Why didn't PW ask his players how well they were going to play today" before kick off?

What's even more ridiculous than saying it is he actually believes it

You don't really understand this football lark do you

Really, seems like starting on the back foot rather than the front foot.

The changes were forced not selected
