S25/26 | The Official Match Thread | Swansea City 1 Portsmouth 0 | Att: 18,163 | 09/12/25 | The EFL Championship | The Swansea.com Stadium

Well done to Matos, we have a bit of breathing space now and maybe a little confidence. It was a classic game (neither was Oxford) but that does not matter, we won them both.

The manager now has another 90mins of film to study and review and is make slow and steady progress (long may it continue).

Now if you're reading this Victor a couple of things I saw that might be worth considering.

- Idah is poor, Vipotnik is great but he offers much more than Idah. Vipotnik cause much more problems than Idah and can strike the ball, whereas Idah !!!

- Cullen whilst he scored a great goal today was otherwise gash. Widdell looked much more promising and I would persist with him and hopefully the goals and assists will come.

- Stamenic is settling into his role now and I hope this continues and brings some solace for him during this difficult personal time for him.

- We need Galbraith back in midfield, but not with Key at RB, use Casey until January and get a new RB lined up for the second the window opens.

Onwards and upwards in the hope this isn't just a new manager bounce
I think idah is a better footballer than vipotnik
 
Brilliant few days for us and Matos. I’ll take that Oxford draw tonight too. Was hard work at times but another clean sheet and +3pts, great finish from Cullen.

Think we’ve beaten every team below us bar Charlton (and that could and should have been a win) that surely means we’re better than the bottom of this league.

Hope we can pick up a few points over the Christmas period.
 
Probably just happy to get the three points and a clean sheet as a reward for actually making it to

To be fair, we've done that the previous two seasons so why not do it again for the hat trick. :cool:
Can’t possibly knock 6 pts, and 2 clean sheets, and they kept going to the end. The manager’s substitutions won us that game between 2 poor sides.
I couldn’t go, so had the Portsmouth commentary on, as can’t stand ours. One of their ex players said “Swansea pass pass pass at the back, then kick it long, not what I’m used to seeing from a Swansea side”
Hard to disagree with really, but work in progress 👍
