That'll probably be my take when I've calmed down, but there were 3 pts on a plate for us today.

I said after Weds that if he didn’t pick Widell today he’s a f****ing idiot, so I guess he’s a f****ing idiot.

Inoussa and Widell have to start, we at least have some threat when they’re on the pitch. Casey played well despite the mistake and happy for Idah to get his first from open play. Josh Key needs to finish that at the end!

 

[Neath_Jack]

We were better than them in both halves. We played much better in the second half.

People who hang are around the match day threads are the most miserable swans fans in existence.

Widell needs to be starting.

Decent enough point in the end.

Uppafuckingswans

 

[Nocountryforoldjack]

Well considering the first half from us a point is about right

 

[WentToSchoolWith]

0.71 xG today, have now hit 1xG once in seven games

 

[NWJack]

Another distinctly average team we have failed to overcome. Eom is a waste of a jersey

 

[monmouth]

Oh, and in the FA Cup, the round reserved for lower league teams, Peterborough won 1-0.

Did Lukey fist pump. Please say yes.

 

[Swans Jack]

Definitely deserved the win and that's the frustrating thing.

Im still 100% convinced that was a red on Eom. Referee ea shocking. Casey made rookie mistake, but he will learn and Idah did well. Hopefully VP is fit though for mid week game.

Probably concentrating on the league

1-1 but overall for me that was a poor performance
Relying on long range wonder goals just isn't sustainable for a season

5-4-1 against Charlton? Against Man City fair enough but this was fucking Charlton

Idah was tired after 70 minutes but we didn't replace him with either of the strikers who were sat warming their arses on the bench

 

[Magic_Michu]

Good point but should have been 3… some really poor finishing and decision making.

But Idah is absolute gash… bar his one finish he was woeful…. Didn’t even show glimpses of quality. His overall gameplay is terrible…. Constantly making terrible decisions.

I'm not so sure. I think the lad is outstanding as an impact sub with 30 minutes to go. Would he be so good playing the full 90?

I agree that we can't rely on long range wonder goals all the time.

When it comes to Idah, he'd scored and the options on the bench were an inexperienced kid and Cullen. I've got plenty of questions about Sheehan currently, but that choice isn't one of them.

 

[Swansea93]

Didn’t one of the statistics show Charlton have only lost 1 in 20 at home? Good point and could have won the game.

 

[Swans Jack]

Not sure the critism of Idah today is justified. He got into good positions and wasn't given the best service. He grew into the game and stretched there defense. The problem we have is VP is that damn good at the moment, it highlights the smallest amount of negatives for anyone who plays in that role now. His goal will give him a heap of confidence and its good to have a different option. I'm not saying Idah is going to be great. He got us a point so let's just be happy about that
