Great first hals, resilience was the key in the second one. From the first goal there wasn’t a doubt that the game is ours, need to improve things but the horizon is brighter. COYS
 
It’s great to see the wingers given license to be wingers and try to attack their full backs

Really encouraging performance, haven't had that much threat going forward for a long time. Eom's best game for us I'd say.

Slightly worry about Portsmouth on Tues with their game being abandoned, they'll be very fresh
 
Much improved Eom today(apart from should've passed to Franco instead of shooting), Galbraith bossing the game from RB. Even Ronald showed glimpses of what he can do, thought Stamenic had a good game, Tyrone wow what a hit. Finally the ref was completely gash. Great 3 pts, hopefully instill some belief for the game Tues.
 
I was impressed by the energy levels today. Apart from dropping a bit too deep in the last ten minutes, I thought our fitness looked very good in appalling weather conditions. Good pressing throughout the match too, and clever use of subs by Vitor.
Really looking forward to coming over on Tuesday now to see if we can keep it up. Bringing a French mate from Spain with me for his first ever visit to the UK and the mighty Swans!
 
Thought the first half an hour was a very poor game from two very limited sides.

But then we seemed to gain a stranglehold on it and scored two excellent goals. Tymon's won't be beaten for our goal of the season.

In many ways I was more impressed with the second half - we pressed high, remained very aggressive and we were sprinting towards the man in possession. That's why we won the game. We worked harder than them.
 
Huge three points.

Great games from quite a few today, Eom, Franco, best games in ages. More solid at the back.

Liked the formation.

Biggest plus for me was there had obviously been instructions to the wide men to take on their players, and instructions to the whole team to have a shot. Much more positive.

Pressing good particularly in the first half and just more energy all round.

Same line up next time please.
