For me today was Vipotnik best performance in a Swansea shirt. He dropped deep to offer an out ball, was always moving in the penalty area and had a good few chances. Put away one chance, forced a decent save from a long range shot, had an assist

I'll allow Vips the fist pump this once.

Great win, very assured performance on the whole. Like the look of Stamenic in there; good leadership in the middle of the park. Looked like a dad out there playing with his two lads Goncalo and Ethan.

Maybe we should thank Brendan for holding up the Idah deal and have a re-think...

One place and one point off the play-offs. Not bad after the opening fixtures we faced.

Do you think we should have beaten Boro now in hindsight?

Will he go? I think he still will. Surely this would be mad now to do this?

3 points, away from home

Surely Vip stays.....3 in 3.

We grew into the game after a sloppy start to put in a solid, professional performance. I'm not bigging them up too much since Wednesday are a pretty weak team, but you can only beat what's in front of you. The defence looked solid and it was so nice to see Vig coming for and plucking high balls out of the air. That's how you do it, Fish!

I do believe this team is beginning to jelly.

Perfect performance away from home.

Solid at the back, lots of shots, more on target than I can remember for a while, dominated possession.

Great game by all.

Special mention to Vipotnik who has just had his two best games in a Swans shirt. Great goal and better assist.

And Stamenic may well turn into the signing of the summer.

Get this striker in, some cover at left back and we’re looking strong.

 

[CygnusX1]

Good start to the season and we have a decent platform to build on. Looks like the new signings are settling in well and have boosted us quality wise.

I watched Boro against Sheff Utd earlier and Boro looked very good

We should have picked up a draw and I didn't see their other two games but they are 4 for 4 so far this season and the early pace setters.

A marked improvement in the second half.
When our midfielders receive the ball and turn towards their goal rather than play it safe we look so much more threatening. Both goals came from midfield runners breaking the lines and getting people around the box.

I wonder if the contrast in play is down to an inability to maintain that level of intensity for 90 mins.

Sheehan was hugging him like he was his best man when he came off . I do hope that he stays now.

Great win and great to watch. Nice one Shezza... Prem here we come

I think that's an area not many have discussed. Our fitness levels. They seem to have gone up alot. We have teams going at us only for so long but we seem to be able to match it and keep going right to the end
Inoussa dropped off, but that's to be expected with his first season.

 

[Ringwood]

Vip needs to stay and get his deserved run in the side.
