Season 20/21: The Reading v Swansea City Match Thread

[ThurrockJack]

I can't remember the last time watching the Swans has been such a disappointing and gut wrenching experience for me as over the past two months. And I go back to the days when Chester City beat us 5-0 at the Vetch on a Boxing Day when I'd turned up as a schoolboy full of optimism and pockets stuffed with Christmas Day Quality Street choccies.
Watching the Reading match? Not a feckin chance. I'll have the occasional glance at Flash Scores on my phone.

Last few seasons in the Prem were similar imo. Really looked like Potter was going to bring the football most Swans identify with but it wasn't to be.

After Laudrup the only respite in the PL for me was under Guidolin. Although we lost his last three games in charge (Liverpool, Man City in the league and Man City in the Cup) we played great football and were close to getting something in each game.

Shit results incoming

s**t results incoming

Not really, nothing any of the other three does matters a toss now. We have to scrape the point we need (more likely someone else will do Reading for us) and then try and actually look like a football team again for three matches. We did it only two games ago, so surely even a total tool like Cooper can remember back that far.

Stoke winning at Forest and us playing Reading tomorrow. History repeating itself? Well we have to look further than our performance for some help

Aye, our best hope is that Reading will drop points away at Norwich, although the Canaries players appear to be on the beach already, so you never know.....

I've just been reading the Reading fans forum.

Apparently we are Reading's bogy side.

And also "Andre Ayew has been the star for Swansea with 15 goals from 40 appearances though Jamal Lowe follows close behind with 13 strikes from 39 starts so the forward line of the Swans is possibly the most lethal in the division."

I like the word "possibly".

There's a last sentence missing from that write up. Here it is:

Fortunately, their manager is currently clueless and the whole team are playing like shyte.

Time to stop pissing about tomorrow and put the play offs to bed, and not by ‘managing the game’ shitspeak, but by going out, imposing ourselves on them and whipping their sorry arses.

Unfortunately Cooper is a frightened fraud of football, so let’s hope he suddenly finds some courage in hi yellow streaked body.

We play with fear, it's about drilling that out of us for a start, but Cooper isn't going to get it out of us in a few days, it's going to take a few weeks, he has 6 days to work on this for the Derby match, I believe we're not going to get this game tomorrow right, it's too early for change imo

Win this and we go back to third in the table

A draw secures a play off spot

Would be good to see Liam and Morgan get some time

Have a feeling we are going to see Wayne who is doing well

 

[CurtessECarr]

I hope Mr Cooper will try and play for a point or 3. Instead of hoping for one.

He'll be trying to play for one and that is why we will lose.

I was at that game, had a drink with their Scots midfielder who scored, then went to a family Xmas party, and had a bit of a ribbing.
