Everyone knew that the Wurzels were in bad form going into the game. But everyone also thought that they were still a strong side and would prove a tough test for us today. And so it proved – they matched us man for man in the warm up!
You could use almost any superlative today to describe the Swans – positive ones of course – and yet you probably still wouldn’t get close to accurately stating what kind of performance this was. Total Football, just like watching Brazil or were the Wurzels indeed England in disguise?
Kenny Jackett must be loving this League One lark as the Swans moved to a third consecutive win with 15 goals in the process to be 4th in the table with more goals than anyone else. White Rock Stadium? Suits us sir!
So where do you start with a match report from a game like that? Well I guess, the Swans line up would be a good start.
Willy
Tatey Izzy Stone Cold Sam
Leon Roberto Bean Macca
Trunds Bayo
Murphy, Connor, Robinson, Goodfellow, Anderson
It was a long time before the scoring was opened but by the time it had been, the Swans were unlucky to not be ahead. Trundle (several times) Bayo, Macca and the awesome Alan Tate had all come close before we took the lead in first half stoppage time.
Macca and Roberto huddled over our umpteenth corner, Macca took it – we all knew he would – near post missed by Bayo and defender and straight in. One nil to the Swans and not before time. And although that was in stoppage time we almost had a second before the interval as precision passing saw Trundle have a shot well saved by the keeper. But the first half was merely the warm up act to the best 45 minutes of football seen from a Swansea side in a long long time.
A throw from Willy found Macca on the halfway line. One touch from the legend found Bayo who held of 73 Wurzel defenders to fire low past the keeper 2-0.
A shirt pull in the area left Trundle the simple task of hammering home a penalty after sending the hapless keeper the wrong way. 3-0
Macca from 30 yards made it four. But this was after he had been denied from 50 yards by a flying save from the keeper. I have no idea what Kenny did to this boy during the summer but he is priceless to us at the moment.
A quick free kick found Trundle alone in the penalty area After stopping for a quick cuppa he hammered the ball home. 5-0
Roberto chipped the ball to the edge of HIS OWN area to find Leon and Leon basically put his head down, ran and scored. 6-0
Wurzels got a consolation – good one too.
And then the real icing. Trundle found Macca, Macca found Connor in space, Connor laid ball across area, Macca completed his hat-trick and the Swans had seven.
Then the eighth from Izzy who somersaulted along the White Rock pitch as the fans celebrated eight but the ref disallowed it. Wurzels broke, Swans retreated, scuffle, Kev saw red for retaliation. Madness with the score as it was and we may regret that in one of the 2/3 games.
It really is impossible to do a performance like that justice. We scored 7, we could have had double that such was the superiority of the performance and as the Wurzels turned more on Tinnion after every goal him sitting in the dug out alone at the end of the game said it all. P45 Brian?
This is very possibly as good as it gets. Seven goals and against Drizzle into the process.
AWESOME, TOTALLY AWESOME!
