Swansea - v - Leeds United ***Matchday Thread***

[CalverleyBoy]

And they get a penalty, me and my mouth

[CalverleyBoy]

All over, YES

[Ozwhites]

Nice night for goal difference also....

Second half was played the way they wanted. Why risk players? Yes, could have been 6 or 7 if they really went for it. Didn't need to.

That’s exactly how I see it, go down a gear, keep in control and injuries to a minimum. We’ve a bunch of games coming our way. Good 3 points and game that.

Surely it’s better to go chasing more goals… so that your main players risk getting injured, how can anyone enjoy winning 4 Nil away without looking for something to moan about……

We were three up after 35 minutes. Sure, Swansea weren't exactly stellar opposition, but surely that's why a push for at least another two or three would have been advisable and eminently possible?

Arteta clearly thought the kind of play we adopted, after putting 4 past Spam before half time, was not the right tactic, getting two more in the second half.

Glad we won, but goal difference might just decide whether we get promoted automatically, or which team we face if it's the playoffs (or god forbid whether we keep a play-off place).

Safety first tonight might not look so rosy in May.

[hopelesslyoptimistic]

Those midweek away games used to be the games we struggled with and that was as comfortable as they come.

It was also chucking it down so the pitch was heavy - a game we played some great stuff and then controlled with is an evolution we needed to be able to make.

Massive 3 points - need WBA to do us a favour now friday night , big game Saturday and we need to obviously keep the pressure on the saints.

WBA are good at home, only losing to Leicester recently. So definite chance of getting a point or 3 against Southampton. We have to take advantage of this, but its difficult to keep getting wins against the same club in the same season. Anyone remember Derby? Beat 3x in regular season then lose in playoffs. I think Gnonto and Piroe might give Plymouth a different look.
