22/23 The Official Swansea v Millwall Match Thread

[sainthelens]

Let's all be honest, as soon as we missed the 93rd minute one on one we knew they'd fckn get one.
Am fckn gutted, feels like a loss.

If you continue to throw comfortable leads then it's the manager's fault for not finding a solution. How many times last season? It's been twice already this season.

Yep…. People slagging our game management off.

I thought our game management was spot on for 90 mins… we didn’t look troubled then we concede a silly on goal (got to get closer to the man to stop the cross).

Well we conceded 2 goals towards the end but ok

What a stupid f**king result.

We raised our ceiling and played some wonderful stuff at times, but had to counter it and finish the game like clowns.

Oh well, I'm actually feeling positive despite the result.

Nathan Wood was awesome in the first half.

I’m a mixture of sickened and encouraged. I know the first thing I’ll think of tomorrow is the stomach turning result, but anyone that didn’t see a different level of play from us needs to go to specsavers. As NJ says, the panic when we concede one even when totally in the box seat can’t be allowed to continue. Maybe they need a trick cyclist or hypnotist.. Cabango will feel like a right plum. Needs to start on Saturday.

"Thought we played some really good stuff."
We didn't

We did. Joe Allen was outstanding, Ntcham the same. We’re all just a bit flat after the ending, understandably so.

Oh bore off.

I guess Cardiff games last season have gone out of your memory then?

We didn't play well, Millwall played crap and allowed us into the game

Game management lasts until the end of the game not 90 minutes.

Quite right. Our game management has exposed us multiple times in recent seasons. It’s definitely an area of weakness.

Aye, I’m not a Russ fan, but I missed him smashing the ball into his own net. Not all last minute fuck fests have the same genesis. That game could have been won easily by taking chances and not doing stupid things under pressure. Individual sudden incompetence by individuals is not the managers fault. The stupid goals we’ve conceded through systemic overplaying and failure to create with poor tempo and negative choices are down to him. Not the case tonight.

Why do we look so tired at the end Millwall we're full of running
Our closing down for crosses is pathetic

We don’t have anyone vocal enough to drive the right mentality for 90 minutes plus injury time.

It’s not tiredness. We’re less than a month into the season and we had four subs on.

I’m just gonna pretend the game ended on 90 because up to then I thoroughly enjoyed the game and that’s the first time I can say that for a fair old while.

 

[Fireboy]

I bet Joe Allen is f*****g seething.

I bet he’s just saying “s**t happens sometimes”. He’s a grown up.

No, I think I'm right monny, I fucking would be

 

[jack_lord]

At 90 minutes I was happy with what we achieved and really happy with Joe's performance.
I am shocked with what happened in the last 4 minutes. I am deflated, gutted angry and upset all rolled in to one. I thought we'd win 5-0 before we scored the second but was curious why the ref was letting the assaults continue with little punishment. They could have scored a few as game went on and our manager didn't seem to actually have a plan to crowd the game out. Strange decision taking Ntcham off. I can understand why he took Joe off who was our best player by three miles but he should have stayed on for a few more. Grimes looked lost once he went off.
