Season 24/25| The Official Match Thread | Watford 1 Swansea City 0 | Att: 16,739 | The EFL Championship

Ginelley another waste of space I’m afraid, didn’t deserve to lose that but a dreadful mistake and a lack of quality combined with our subs having no impact has cost us

He’s been out with a bad injury for over a year, so it’ll take him time to get back up to speed. If that’s possible after what he’s been through.
 
Very decent away performance against a team much further up the league than us.

The horrible error aside, we deserved to win but Vipotnik didn't have his best night and we had no luck (Louza should have gone, Pollock lucky not to score own goal).

Night and day from Williams and Grimes. We actually attack and go forward now.
'we deserved to win', dear me Chiefo, you're so out of touch nowadays.

Agreed re night n day from Williams.

BUT, if we had Grimes in centre pivot there is NO WAY Franco woulda made that stupid pass to the oppo, not a chance in hell.

Some of our fans need to get some proper perspective right now.
 
Enjoyable game. But God we’re awful up front.

Massive strengthening needed in the summer to add some creativity and someone that can cross the ball. Plus someone to do what O’Brien is doing. He is making a huge difference in our midfield. What a shame we won’t be able to keep him (from what has been said). A cut above.

Did you watch us under Russell? This was our biggest trait.

If we had Grimes in that game we'd have lost 2-0 but with 70% possession and a 96% pass completion (all sideways though).

Yes Franco completely dropped the ball, but his and LOBs intent to go forwards and be dogged is worth more than 1000 sideways passes.

Wha ?

When on earth did Grimes EVER do a Franco ?

Get a grip, 93 - you're far better than that

You surely must agree on the Fact that we're a tad out of control and scratching around for bits 'n bobs - which OFC is so not the Swanseaway, yeah ?

It's been the Swansea way since 2016! Both on and off the pitch, more so off the pitch but we are now nearing a decade of being a club that has been scratching around for bits n bobs.
It's has sunk down from the top and gradually got worse.

Yea things were going so well with Grimes stinking out our midfield.

O'Brien is a far superior player and we are far more entertaining to watch as a result.

Franco made an isolated mistake. Doesn't suit your agenda to admit that, but that's all it was.

I thought everyone besides Ronald crossed really well last night, but Vipotnik wasn't at the races and Cullen did what he could but lacks size.

He's forgotten Grimes lost the game at Burnley for us with the last kick by his total piss weak f**kwittery.
 
I said it a few games ago. Though we have improved it's gonna take a while to get bad habits out of the team that was installed by Williams, Martin etc. That sounds odd to say but backward passing is what the players have been trained and drilled to do for at least few years, excluding Duff short time. Mistakes like this with Franco will happen but has happened alot this season. Hopefully this can start to be drilled out them (being more careful and not always backwards). I honestly can't think of 1 player that has not lost it that has led to a goal this season? Lewis maybe?
 
Overall happy with the performance against a physical team, where in my opinion there could have been two reds.
The ref was poor and bottled decisions.

In saying all that here goes.

Cullen, Eom, Key and Ronald had poor games.
Yes Cullen had two good headers but offered little in open play.
Eom nearly scored but again offered little and his positional sense is close to zero.
Key again thinks he's better than he is and creates problems when in safe positions.
Ronald again puts in a shift but with very little threat.
I was crying out for subs at HT as it was clear we needed a change.
VP should have stayed on giving us more option when we really pressured late on.

With Burnley and Leeds to come I just hope that confidence isn't going to get a hit for the Derby and Plymouth games
The only thing I'd have to disagree on is, and perhaps it's a typo. Did you mean to say Ronald puts a shirt on ?
 
Shame about the goal and worst who actually caused it. For fairness I did eff and jeff at him for it and mistakes like that are almost divine intervention in where all the players were.
They should have had two sent off though and some woeful finishing bu EOM and vip being a yard away from connections would have seen it end differently.

I am gutted because that was a night that would have bought the breathing space that we needed.

Franco, I forgive you just don't do it again.

And Velcroix when the clock is ticking down please remember that we score the other end of the pitch and it really matter to us.

And another enforcer cameo by Fulton - well done.
Enforcer Cameo 🤣🤣
