    Thanks for replying, even though you seem to have doubled down on the insult in the process… I’ve been reading your football reviews since the days of dial-up internet and I have the greatest respect for your footballing knowledge. It’s way above mine. I wasn’t at the game. I didn’t see what...

    That does include cup games against underdog sides, and pre-season friendlies, obviously. In case you thought I was exaggerating.

    Fair points, but if I had a pound for every time we have played a team in the bottom quarter of our division and I’ve worked out where we could end the night in table terms after a 4-0 victory, only to see us lose stupidly after under-estimating the will of the opposition to win and leaving gaps...

    Respect. Well I went to Norwich and I didn’t even enjoy the journey. And you got to see a win today.

    Derby’s last four games (all wins) were against Preston (above us), Blackburn (also above us), Coventry (play-off contenders) and Plymouth (bottom of the table). On paper, that’s a very good result today against an in-form team. Sounds like it was poor entertainment. Sorry to hear that. Having...

    Harsh. I didn’t see the game or manage to listen to it so was dependent on this forum and BBC for updates. He put out a packed defence and negative looking midfield, switched to a much more attacking 4-2-3-1 in the final quarter and won the game. From that perspective the idea that it was a...

    Seems like it was a stratagem after all. Fair play.

    Unless @swan65split is correct and he’s playing rope-a-dope. Let’s hope so because otherwise the lack of changes at half time is deeply worrying.

    My great granddad moved to Swansea from Sunderland as a small child. Family of shipwrights. He went on to be a Cape Horner many times over.

    Really hope that’s a sign of things to come!

    Who Goes in The Summer? Who Stays? Players.

    I’d keep Naughton. Particularly if we are going to lose Darling. His footballing knowledge will be invaluable in the Championship (if we stay up) and outweighs his loss of pace. Not so sure about Key and Tymon if, as you say, we keep our back four. They are not FBs. Or at least not very good ones.

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Bristol City 0 Swansea City 1 | Att: 21,554 | The EFL Championship

    I thought we improved steadily as the game went on, at least until Naughton was subbed, which is no mean feat when O’Brien was making his debut and getting to know his teammates. We continued to defend well (or at least not as badly as we have been - some of our clearances were needlessly rushed...

    I liked that back three a lot.

    Well to be fair to them O’Brien is brand new and Delcroix is still bedding in. Ronald and Cullen are bizarre choices for their positions in this formation but on the whole it’s beginning to look like an improvement on recent performances.

    One positive from today's game

    Of course, for the past 40-odd years, when 99 times out of a 100 we have been hanging on to a win or a draw by the skin of our teeth and knowing what's happening in the dying minutes is critical, they didn't bother offering that service. Now we are allowing opponents to score for fun against us...
