Season 21/22 The Official Swansea City v Barnsley Match Thread

[ABSwan]

Can see they are fighting for survival, tough game. reading beating Sheff Utd away too and Hull 2 up against the massive Cardiff.

 

[Pegojack]

They are creating a lot of half chances. We're a tad below par too. I'm a bit concerned.

This type of game has been the Achilles heel of our season, playing against a team that is content to sit back and absorb us having the ball. One of our missing jigsaw pieces is gem who can unpick these stubborn walls. The hard part is finding the gem.

Although in fairness to them when they do get the ball they are trying to get forward. Certainly not the worst team we’ve had down here this season.

 

[Pegojack]

We've gone really sloppy and careless. Get the hairdryer out, Martin.

Yeah, just need to move the ball a bit quicker. A good example there after Obafemi’s chance when Christie could have whipped a cross in but took an extra touch and lost it. Hopefully Martin gees them up at half time.

Barnsley will be happy with those stats. They’ve played the game well.
We’re a bit below par, but you get the feeling if we get a goal, the game will open up for us

 

[airedale]

Thank goodness for that, a Fifteen minute respite. Our general ball play has been poor imo.

 

[bakajack]

We started well but have let Barnsley suck the pace out of the game which entirely suits them.
Hopefully RM will shoot some rockets up the players backsides for the second half.
Their keeper does not look confident at all with the two saves and one clearance he has had to make so far.

 

[sainthelens]

Wer playing like we just had to turn up to win. Glad to get in 0-0.
Their defence looks awful if we can just get in behind em.

 

[Jack2jack]

On a brighter note Diff are 2 down.

 

[Pegojack]

The old linkie is very up and down today.

 

[CygnusX1]

No surprise there. Let’s hope it wakes us up

 

[Longlostjack]

Wakey Wakey

 

[Pegojack]

They've got what they came for, they'll shut up shop now.
