[Andrew - North Hill]

These referees are pathetic.

Tymon's head injury added on about 2 mins and he plays an extra 45 seconds. Twat.

 

[Captain_Sham]

Our goal alone is a reason to be cheerful. Signs of life.

 

[Cooperman]

Good game, disappointed to take nothing from it. Let’s not be too disheartened, we would never have had that many chances under the latter tenure of Sheehan.

 

[WentToSchoolWith]

Actually not too discouraged by that. Away at a decent side, and absolutely should have one point, created enough for three

 

[ABSwan]

We played crap for the first 25 minutes of the second half, apart from that we played well and could have come away with a point.

We did win the xG though.

 

[Nocountryforoldjack]

Shite defending, not taking it chances, shite ref and key, we never stood a chance of winning today.

 

[Swans Jack]

I don't get that with final whistle. Tymon was down for 3 minutes. Far better later in the game but I will single out Key. By far the worst player I have seen in a long time. And not just that he had continued to cost us games.

 

[LeonWasTheDogs]

Too little, too late sadly. Those first half chances missed didn’t help us. Switching off at the back didn’t either.

Fk it. Oh well, onwards and upwards.

 

[Swansea93]

Shouldn’t have lost that one, can take some positives from it. Don’t think Eom, Key or Ronald should be starting, but might have to make do until January.

 

[Longlostjack]

Still encouraged by that. We created more chances in that game than we did under Sheehan all season.

 

[monmouth]

I’m not too downhearted with that. We showed bravery to get back in it when I feared we’d collapse.

We are an improved outfit, need to keep improving. We really needed that first goal.

 

[bakajack]

Take aways for me
Key can fuck off if that’s his level of performance
Widell needs to play more
I want to see Inoussa and Eom starting against Wrexham

 

[Pentyrchjack]

Pearson shouldn't have been on the pitch by the time he scored, but we fooked it up through Franco, Key and Eom

 

[Ringwood]

If Matos has anything about him as a Manager he should now realise that Eom Ronald Cullen and Key are not starters.

We looked far better with Inoussa Widdel and Yalcouye on the pitch

As for Key... he is should be rested for his own mental health if nothing else. He was appalling from when he came on until the final whistle.

 

[LeonWasTheDogs]

I don't get that with final whistle. Tymon was down for 3 minutes. Far better later in the game but I will single out Key. By far the worst player I have seen in a long time. And not just that he had continued to cost us games.

Yeah, ref should have added on the injury time from Tymon. I suppose the only defence of Key is that he’s been ill, so may not really be match ready (he certainly didn’t look match fit!)
