This is total crap. No ambition, no attacking, no idea. We’re at home against a shite team. This might work against Leeds where they push forward. That was appalling.

 

[Ringwood]

Looking like a week on the sofa and excessive sunlight is taking its toll on us.

struggling to see what Ronald offers us in attack

we have an attack today? ......

 

[mrploppy]

We've been sucked into a game of anti-football.

Well that was an utterly atrocious first half.

Derby have clearly come to time waste and look for opportunities via the counter or set pieces. Why the ref didn't book their keeper just before half time I don't know, he sent everyone up and ran up to nearly the halfway to take a free kick, then when he got there he turned around and ran back eating up a good one minute or so.

The formation is completely wrong, at half time I would take off Fulton and Delcroix, bring on Vipotnik and Eom and try to get a bit of service into the forwards.

It couldn't get any worse than what was served up that first 45 mins at least

Think this tells me everything I need to know about Sheehan. I was hoping for attacking minded. But why set up so defensive. You can tell the players have this mindset. If Sheehan is tactically doing this now, then this tells me what is to come if he has it full time.

Honestly the table means nothing at this stage. Anyone can beat anyone. I mean, it wouldn't have been unfair if we'd beaten Leeds 3-2 last week and everyone thought that was nigh-on impossible. It's squeaky bum time for everyone 15th and below.

True. and Luton were unlucky earlier, ...stas mean nothing at this stage, TBH ive seen nowt in Sheff utd or Burnley. if only things had worked out differently since Xmas. but hey ho its the swansea way

We are at home. Sunny day, coming off a good result from Leeds and we look like the team in the bottom. I think this match tells us about the team all season. We need fresh ideas from a different manager and some new players. Sheehan for me should never be setting us like this. Crazy. Win, lose or draw. He got this wrong.

i think hes hoping to keep it safe for about 70 mins and make some changes and hopefully sneak a winner.

avoiding the drop is the key ATM .

Proberly so. I just would of liked for us to start with this mindset. It just sets tone for the game. I questioned his tactics last week and that worked well. But you can't be setting up like this at home against weaker team. And with VP scoring last week, then no excuses.

I'm regretting buying tickets for the Plymouth match at the moment, a decision made in the warm glow of earning a point at Elland Road...

I agree, but not playing in fear. We need 3 and another 3 on Wednesday.

 

[3swan]

Well we need early changes we can’t give them more confidence.
At this time of the season it’s all about who wants it more and prepared to battle and make things happen
We shouldn’t go into a home game without an attacking threat or out ball

Let’s hope we see a complete mindset in the second half

Take some chilli to rub in your eyes to make them better.
