Wales' cameo when Ronald had to go off cemented that he should be the 4th winger ahead of Benson, but I think there's zero chance Matos will start him in a league game unless injuries/fitness force his hand. Possibly could see him start against WBA in the FA Cup though.


I agree with Pego. He booked players when he should and rightly gave us a couple of free kicks outside their area that gave us shooting chances. He was pretty consistent with the kind of challenges he chose not to give free kicks for and it looks like his only major clanger was to our benefit with the goal. I find it hard to think of a better performance from a ref at the .com this season.

The very definition of a low bar

Leave it there will you, totally different class of player then, stick to your expertise on the Tizer League and lower League players.

lol.

Then you should have qualified your post by saying ‘with this group of players’.

The irony is, of course, that your little crush was a massive failure in the Tizer League.

Ronald left the ground tonight on crutches - I’m sure that will please some

BBC reported that Key had a hole on the top of his foot from when he kicked the underside of a players boot

Idah will be out for a couple of months

Cullen is out for a couple of weeks

Ronald protective boot is hopefully just precautionary

Seriously… are you ok? Some of your comments are childlike…crush!!

I thought he had his best game for a while today.

Hopefully the crutches are precautionary.

Jesus. Hole in foot. Think Cullen will be back soon. Idah sounds like it might be 6 weeks or more. Hopefully Ronald is not that long. Gives Inoussa to claim the place though. Lets hope we don't get no more injuries.

Ronald would probably cross the ball better with that boot on.

It’s the right time to get them in fairness. Getting them in February is the killer.

A bit harsh to attack a player who picked up his injury literally making his match winning contribution don’t you think?

 

[Ringwood]

Did you miss their keeper tipping Stamenics shot over the bar early on?

It was going over.. keeper tipped it though

Probably after the cup I would imagine
Can't see us risking him for that, 99% chance in my eyes that Vipotnik starts on Sunday and Wales will start the weekend after

Think the owners have got to change their stance on a quiet janaury. ST RW and a 10 (all on loan) has got to be on the shopping list now.

Think Benson will get sent back. So maybe a loan to replace and defo RB. Striker might be difficult one. Still can't see VP going in January.

I was there today and must have watched a different game to some on here.
Starting line up was a shambles, can’t go into a home game without a recognised striker on the pitch.

Agree totally with the comments regarding the effort levels but until we scored their keeper didn’t have a save to make, Vigroux on the other hand was our mom… let’s have a little perspective eh!!

Delighted with our recent results but apart from the closing down I don’t see a great improvement in our performances..,.uppa Swans

For me, our performances are better than what we saw at the start of this season. Our build up play is smoother and takes less passes, there is no longer a gaping hole in our midfield when the ball gets turned over, Stamenic and Yalcouye have been dropping in deep to pick up the ball so it no longer goes out wide constantly. The most important thing is that we actually look like a team, the work rate is the proof of that.

We still have a long way to go in the final 3rd but it feels like we’re on the right path now.
