    Football is much different game now than in 1970 and sadly not all the changes are for the better. Much of the excitment has been sucked out of the game. Two things I think have lessened the game is the amounts of money involved (prime example is the talk of staging Premier League home games in...

    Absolute no no for me.

    Just got home after the pleasure of my first game in the flesh this season and surprised with so much negativity about the performance. I thought it was a decent away performance yes it could have been better but there were positives for sure and plenty to build on. Agree that the first half...

    Was at the game in the Blackburn stand on the side nearest the penalty, shout and have to say I thought we were lucky and got away with one, so kudos to the ref if he got it right. The Blackburn fans were going mental and even more so when Burgess won the header not long after as he looked to...

    I don't see a Championship level player, his touch is poor, decision making worse and looks like a rabbit caught in the headlights half of the time. Also how much coaching does he need, he's been at Swansea 2 years now and there has been zero improvement.

    Tate was miles better than Key

    Adam Idah 40k a week.

    He was built like the Honey Monster (of Sugar Puffs fame)

    Adam Idah 40k a week.

    They weren't that bad there was also Adien Newhouse and Tony Bird knocking around at that time

    Žan Vipotnik - Swansea’s Number 9

    Fisher just isn't a Championship caliber starting GK. If Vigouroux concedes at his near post like Fisher did, then people will rightly criticise. Bottom line Vigouroux is a much better keeper than Fisher

    Not sure we can say that was our 2nd string. Only Fisher, Samuels-Smith & Casey are bona fide 2nd String Everyone else is in contention for a starting spot every week, so are 1st team yes some have only just arrived and not regulars as yet, however Benson, Idah for example have not been...

    Forest were definately guilty of poor finishing (after they had scored 2) and had they been better they would have been out of sight, however they didn't finish well and we took advantage of that. Not convinced Fisher would have been any help had they got those shots on target afterall he only...

    I had forgot that, yes it was a decent stop, but still not giving his effort great status, as Roy Keane would say that's his job (and it wasn't a particulary busy night at the office for him).

    He should have done better on the first goal. I think he has a tendancy to overrun when scrambling across his goal, which leads to him being poorly set when a shot comes in, he did it for the second goal as well and then slipped (although I don't think he wa realistacally going to or expected to...

    Not for me, I suppose we shall have to agree to disagree. But to be fair he was up against quality in Hutchinson and the Hudson-Odoi, however it the same deficences that I see mostly around his postioning and general awareness and he gives the ball aware too often.

    S25/26 | Official Match Thread | Swansea City 3 Nottingham Forest 2 | Att: 11,354 | The Carabao Cup 3rd Round

    First game I have seen in full this season and one thing that sticks out to me is every new player on show has improved the 1st team and this is bringing out the quality in some of the existing players most notably Viptonik and Ronald. This could well be a very good season. NB. The only...
