    2nd attempt. He’s got a touch of the Rik Mayall/Alan B’stard about him 🤣. But what a signing. Seriously quality and a joy to watch.

    McClean kicking Ronald in the back of the head

    It’s embarrassing isn’t it. He does get caught a lot, but doesn’t help himself at all either. He’s very lightweight.

    McClean kicking Ronald in the back of the head

    I don’t understand it. The Welsh flags obviously make sense, but I can’t remember the last time The Unionists qualified for an international tournament. It seems like an unnecessary load of political bollocks to me.

    McClean kicking Ronald in the back of the head

    Exactly this. Pre-match: “we’re Swansea til we die” 25 mins: “fk off Ronal you c****” 36 mins: clear off to get more beers in 60 mins: “boooo” when Burgess gets the ball Vip scores: “we’re Swansea til we die” I’m sure we didn’t used to have such precious little flowers. It’s like watching...

    I’m not sure “clamouring” is accurate. Given our very good back end to last season he’d done enough to earn a shot and I think most of us acknowledged that. In hindsight that shouldn’t have happened. But then who knows how anyone else would have got on.

    Harry Wilson.

    He always used to remind me of a rat. But l fair play to him, he’s turned into an excellent footballer of the last 2-3 years. He must be the best Welsh national player now?

    Agreed 👍 . If we’ve a fairly settled team, we can carry a younger player. We should be giving them chances and Samuel-Smith has looked ready. The trouble is we’re already carrying a few senior players, so the youngsters then become a bigger risk. I don’t think any of our players are...

    Very fine margins. We had the chances to go into the break ahead. On another day there’s also a chance Pearson has to walk before he scores their first (but arguable)

    I don’t see Franco doing the disciplined holding role. He’s like a Jack Russell running off all over the place snapping at people heels. Maybe though if he can stay put.

    Absolutely, they’re not robots and will suffer the same as the rest of us irrespective of how much they earn.

    Stamenic needs to be in a midfield of Yalcouye and Widell imo. I think it’s one of Yalcouye or Franco.

    Eom shows moments although also slows us down (had Eom been still on the pitch he wouldn’t have put in a brilliant first time ball to Vip for our gaol). Ronald, Cullen and Key aren’t up to it imo. Cullen would be ok in a 442 next to a Kieffer Moore type. Otherwise I stuggle to see where he can...

    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!)

    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.

    It’s not good. He started ok when he first arrived, then got injured and has never quite been the same again. And now appears to be falling apart.

    And Galbraith. When did we last open up a team like that with just 2 passes? It must be years.

    That’s the main problem for me. We’ve slowly been selling off our better players and the new recruits have normally been worse. A progressive weakening of the team ever since we were relegated,

    Of course. We lack quality, so struggle to come out on the top of the key moments (defensive and attacking). But they’re all we’ve got and we’re not terrible. Just not quite good enough. And that’s the first 11. There’s feck all depth either.
