Also, this Franco lad, enjoy him while he's here, because he's going to make us millions in the near future...

Neither Eom or Ronald were terrible, what are you all on about?

Ronald was piss poor today. Go to Specsavers tomorrow. Also piss poor substitutions. Grimes back to his old shite, Fulton? I'd rather play with 10 men. Williams needs to realise where his and the team's strength is.

Glad that one is over with, game was to early in the season for us......we didn't lose but too many forward players didn't turn up for us today otherwise it was atleast 2-0 by halftime for us.
Ramsey is gone, have to get that out of the way but his lack of movement gave Darling too much time on the ball but nearly cost us as he wanted too much time on the ball!
Ronald was poor with his end product, Eom was targeted and the occasion got the better of him.

Franco was absolutely outstanding, hope he got taken off because he was starting to tire(didn't seem it).

He was knackered that's why he came off, Centre mid is still a massive concern can't see why no one else can see it, need more height in the team as well.

I think we more or less have the personnel now. It’s all down to management from here on in.

Did Smurph make it out of the Riverside Bar for the 2nd half I wounder

 

[Niigata Jack]

I agree

Why though we haven't seen him play, the intensity the Championship brings is a tough learning curve for any player not used to it, gonna take time and patience.

Probably getting caught up in the atmosphere but I thought he still had some gas in the tank.
Midfield with Franco alongside Grimes is better, Allen brought some dog but Fulton is now 4th choice for me.

 

[Pentyrchjack]

The subs weakened us. Fulton is a waste of space. Abdullai didn't want it either.

Swansea City 1-1 Cardiff City - Your player ratings

The Swans were made to settle for a point this afternoon at the Swansea.com Stadium after a disappointing second half saw Cardiff peg them back to leave SA1 wit

Swansea City 1 Cardiff City 1 - Backtracking Swans hand Bluebirds a point

As derby clashes go this one was far from pulsating but when the dust settles on the first South Wales clash of the season it will be Luke Williams and his Swan

I'll tell you why, Cabango is a liability, so giving Abbey a go couldn't be too much of a gamble, also, Abbey had played regularly in the Championship for Reading before getting his move to Greek giants Olympaicos for an undisclosed fee, must have something going for him

Still some creativity off in the final 3rd.....need for a no 10 stood out for me again today.

 

[Swansea93]

Wingers final ball quality dreadful today, definitely missing a creative spark in the middle.

The player that will tie it all together.
I think Eom looks well suited for that role.

Exactly, he's a 20 year old with 34 appearances in his career so far. We don't half love overhyping a new signing

Really poor game today between two very poor teams. Franco was the only positive for me, Eom and Ronald in particular were most disappointing.

No idea what Williams was doing with his subs, once Fulton had come on in midfield there was no need to try to shoehorn Allen in as well unless it was for Grimes because it just upset the shape of the team.

Taking off attacking players and bringing on more defensive ones is a bad trait that often backfires.

I still think we're probably going to finish somewhere between 12th and 16th, we spent the last few weeks saying how rubbish Cardiff are and they easily matched us today with us hanging on towards the end of the game
