Terrible second half again and first wasn’t great either. We are seriously struggling in the midfield battle and can’t create anything. We will need to give time to the staff and to the players but I don’t feel we’ve seen a good attacking performance in any of the game bar Sheffield Wednesday who are a clear outlier in this league.

 

[Swanjaxs]

Disappointing is not the word, but one shit piece of defending away from a decent point on the road.

 

[peter]

We don't look utterly shit and after the last 3 or 4 years I'm happy with that.

dissapointing to concede so late again, but as

others have said the mid week game whilst fab cost us today and a point dropped
safe trip home to all traveling

 

[Smurph]

That 2nd half was on Sheehan.

Subs poor and showed no adventure when they were there for the taking.

Didn't say it wasn't.

People need to calm down, we're 6 games in to a 46 game season.

Little unfair on Idah. We've all seen what a run of game does for a striker.

Hold me to it Smurph, he isnt going to do much here.

Looked mikes of it

 

[Swanjaxs]

Little unfair on Idah. We've all seen what a run of game does for a striker.

And he hasn't been offered up one single opportunity on goal.

 

[Swansea93]

Awful game today, nearly fell asleep in the ground watching that second half.

 

[Swans Jack]

Needed the fresh legs sooner galbraith and Franco looked knacked after an hour

That's my only criticism. Franco and Galbraith should of been taken off earlier. We looked like a team who was tired and had a good night out on the town. Next Saturday I am confident we will show more and what we are about. This game came too quickly for us and they exposed our energy levels.

 

[ABSwan]

Yes; intentionally sat back and played for the draw. If you can't see that then I suggest a different sport

An alternative view is they forced us back and we couldn't break free.

 

[monmouth]

Totally pummelled second half like a bunch of pussies. No intent, no shape with the ball, no ambition. Not for the first time. Very odd. We have the ammunition to do more than that. Benson needs to be on the field. Felt sorry for Idah. That’s his second outing, both with us having totally shit out of the game.

 

[magicdaps10]

People actually think the manager said, stay back and defend, at half time, give me strength.

We couldn't get going second half, for whatever reason. We waited too long I believe to change it with fresh legs and when we did change it didn't change the dynamic.

Our players tired and they were thugs throughout.

A goal undeservedly ruled offside as well, we should have had a point.

Just answered it yourself AB.

He waited too long to make the subs and then got it wrong with the personal when he did it.

 

[eteb]

An alternative view is they forced us back and we couldn't break free.

So change it then. Benson and yakcouye should've been on after 60

 

[Smurph]

Hold me to it Smurph, he isnt going to do much here.

Who knows.

I'm not ready to write a player off who has proved he can score goals based on a handful of minutes with new team mates.

Didn't say it wasn't.

yes a long long way to go but its games like today that could make the difference where a point would have been good but we have zero
