F**k that stupid ole shit. Play properly until the final whistle.

Vip has had two chances and one half chance and grabbed two goals, played a key part in the own goal and has shown exceptional hold up and link up play

Been a complete performance from him in my eyes

Chuffed the boys are winning at home...hope its 3 points in the bag. Not watching it unfortunately...had a snooker match.

Did you make it a double and win the snooker match?

 

[bakajack]

That will do donkey
That will do

Glad for the 3 points but what a strange game that was!

This match day thread is a like an episode of the Real Housewives of Swansea with some of you.

Haven’t seen some much hysteria since Waitrose increased the price of their tofu.

 

[Captain_Sham]

Much better. They were utter trash though. Doesnt matter at the end of the day, 3 is 3.

Lovely

I think that was more progress. Too lackadaisical at times, but pretty good work overall.

Can we play Ugly Ismail every week.

Oliver Cooper did well.

First own goal scored by Swansea this season
First goal scored direct from a corner this season
First time we have ever beaten Blackburn 3 times in a row
First time we have scored 3 goals in a league game this season

Plenty of firsts
Performance was mostly good minus that ten minute spell in the first half where we couldn't trap a bag of cement
Blackburn were by far the worst team to come to the swansea.com all season

Great to see Oli on the pitch and was direct with his running.

A welcome three points but the scrappiest game this season. I think the conditions and the bumpy pitch had something to do with our passing, which was largely dreadful.
Also alarming to see the passback mentality emerging when we go one up.
Eom and Vip were the stand out players for me. Ronnie worked his socks off in attack and defence, I wish he'd cultivate a killer instinct though. He's always looking to play people in when most forwards would have a go themselves. No wonder his goal return is the square root of feck all.
Cooper was always bursting forward energetically, then losing the ball with a bad pass. Shape up, lad, and you could be an asset.
It's a bit of a cliche, but I think Blackburn pulled us down to their level. I would expect better performances in our next two games against higher class opponents.

An important and much needed win. Matos is doing well with the average squad he’s got.

 

[Ringwood]

Important win for us.. not sure if Blackburn were out on their feet but I thought Cooper and Cullen looked more of a threat that Widdel and Eom defensively and offensively.

Yalcouye looked a bit lost when he came on and Fulton steadied the ship well

We really lack that CM who can control a game creatively and physically but we have lot of lightweight terriers pressing.
