Standard issue Swansea City away performance.

Yeah, the mindset and approach needs to be sorted. I thought we were a bit unlucky though. It’s frustrating because there was nothing much in them, but we never got any momentum going. That’s football, until we get a team of AI robots.

 

[tardylum]

No need to panic, can see the signs of Matos doing a good job and putting an effective team together.

Idah, Yalcouye, Widdell, Walta, Nunes, Benson and Inoussa have all barely had an impact on the team so far this season and that must be £20m and rising between them. That is all the new attacking talent we signed. It is clearly hindering Matos and limiting how much he can get out of the side and taking advantage of the moments we dominate. Vipotnik can not be responsible for every goal.

The lack of impact from the players above is a big concern, but a slight concern is how mediocre the central defenders have been. I could be talked in to wanting an upgrade on both, Ben has been a great servant but he is limited. In the next two months it feels like it would be wise to have Walta and Widell playing as much as possible to make it easier for them to hit the ground running next season.

What a gem Ethan Galbraith is, it is great to have him back in midfield.

We go again.

 

[Swans Jack]

Very good point. You can play as much pretty football as you like, but when you're as weak as we are in the final third, it all comes to nothing. When Vip is off his game, we might as well pack it in.

Some valid points. But to be fair Stamenic could of got a goal. And a few penalty shouts. I get your point with VP. Thought there keeper turned up tonight.

 

[Copamundial]

We are capable of playing some beautiful football …for an hour that is.
I’ve said this many times, we simply don’t have the energy levels required to sustain it for ninety minutes, our bomb squad are not good enough to change games when they come on.
Wrexham were beyond ordinary but still managed to win a game without too much drama.

 

[swan65split]

The dream didn't last long, did it!?

I wouldn't agree in we were shyte though.
Naive and lacking quality in the final 3rd.

pluss lack of urgency...considering how important a game it was.

Sky are up the Hollywood Muppets backsides.

The commentary options were, sky fawning over Wrexham, or Hollywood a and B listers fawning over Wrexham.

 

[Londonlisa2001]

I said before it started ‘ if we approach the game with energy and endeavour, I’m happy.’

Sadly we didn’t. We played with an ‘we’ll beat these’ attitude that is frankly unwarranted. A few of ours think they’re better than they are.

Most annoying game for ages. I mean we’ve been routinely bad away from home with the odd exception but tonight we looked like we wanted it less than they did. And that’s not good enough.

We have a few weaknesses that need sorting for next year. Finding any winger that can cross a ball would be a start. Or anyone that can take a corner or free kick without it hitting their first defender.

 

[Copamundial]

Ahh I dunno, he won loads of free kicks from falling over. He won the free kick for the second goal

Give me a game then, I’m an expert at falling over

 

[lidojack]

Should have been 2-0 up before they even had a sniff.
Ref "missed" two penalties.

As soon as they scored they just stuck 11 men behind the ball and we just aren't equipped to break that down yet.

I'm not a big Cullen fan and sticking him on the wing completely killed us second half. I understand the thinking but we needed to stretch them and get in behind the wing backs and Cullen is not the player to do any of that.

 

[PenlanJack]

Reminded me in so many ways of the performance at Preston.

And every game this season away, it's all well done little old Swansea whilst tapping our heads in a comfy home win

 

[Jack2jack]

Only positive tonight was Galbtaith, only gave the ball away once, worked his ass off, must be frustrating for him. Fvckin class. The rest meh!

 

[Swanjaxs]

Feck off, you utter moron

Mel, no need for profanities Loves you

 

[Pegojack]

Some valid points. But to be fair Stamenic could of got a goal. And a few penalty shouts. I get your point with VP. Thought there keeper turned up tonight.

Yes, normally I don't rate him, but that was a hell of a save from Stamenic.

 

[Swans Jack]

That's me done for tonight. I'm off to watch some scripted story lines with men in tights. Almost like Hollywood Wrexham.

We go again.

You can't judge Walta or Nunes!
Agreed though, we have invested in a lot of players in positions that should see a lot more creativity.

The team/squad is looking far more solid than it was 12/18 Months ago though and we really should be looking to push on next season.

Galbraith is a rolls Royce of a player.
