I thought we played well, especially with how lethargic we looked at the start. Sometimes there's only so much you can do when the opposition put 34 crosses and 65 long balls up to players who are about 2 foot taller than yours.

Lots to unpack with that team.

It feels like Cullen will be following the trajectory of Oli Cooper before long.

I honestly don't understand what Cullen offers over Widell; especially when we are likely to be chasing the ball all afternoon and will need pace on the counter.

Imagine losing in 21/22 in 12 days, ripping up the playbook, then spending 4 years doing everything to prepare for the next tour including: - Selecting players regardless of how bad form they are in. - Holding onto a spinner who gets no game time outside the England team because he'll come...

I highly doubt that people at the club are thinking "I hate Wrexham, they are our rivals". A "rivalry", however manufactured, adds something to a game that makes it more interesting to the average Swansea resident who is on the fence about whether to turn up to games. The BBC and Sky have been...

It's just marketing. Anything the club can do to hype up any game and get bums in seats should be done and should be applauded when it is.

At least it's the disappointment of losing a game we didn't deserve to as opposed to the "we are so bad it's depressing" disappointment we are used to.

Do refs just decide not to give obvious yellows to players like Pearson because they think they'll actually have to do their jobs and send him off later in the game?

That's two studs up shin high challenges that could have been reds.

Did Cullen just fall over his own heels to let them in?

Two gutsy performances when the pressure would have been at its highest and morale at its lowest. We were never going to transform into a sparkling attacking team in a fortnight, but our change in attitude and application are objectively positive signs.

When Scotty Boland is outscoring 4 (almost 5) of your top order you've got big problems.

I don't think we've played badly, a bit predictable but we seem more willing to get numbers forward which is a good sign. That being said, Cullen has to come off at half time. An utter waste of space.

This smacks of a new manager playing the longest serving players to try and have some form of solidity in his first game. He'll be expecting them to lead by example before he can truly get his messages across and pick his best XI. It's just unfortunate that those longest serving players include...
