Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Swansea City vs Gillingham FC | The Carabao Cup

[Cooperman]

Let’s hope we can give our new striker some decent service. Saturday was abysmal in this regard.

 

[Smurph]

Seriously starting to question Williams, continually picking Fulton shows that he just isn’t learning.

If he starts on Saturday, I'll be throwing my pasty at Williams.

Know idea how he managed to get himself a new contract.

 

[Copamundial]

It's a cup game. If he isn't playing Saturday then Williams is a genius..

Yes it’s a cup game so give somebody else a chance rather than keep picking a player who has done next to nothing the last few years.

We hope it's been positive but we won't know for sure until we see how the new signings perform over the next few months. It's very much unknown at the moment.

We're massively down on numbers from last season so the squad depth is definitely going to be an issue over the course of the season

Agreed. We did buy an international LB over a year ago and tonight's going to be his debut. Our teenage sensation winger has scored 8 in last 5 games and does not get a look on???

We all know the drill, Fulton will have a stormer.

In fairness Nzingo played for the u21s (getting 2 of those goals you mentioned) just yesterday.
I wouldnt be surprised to see him involved over this season though, his progress was hampered by an injury last season

Against league 2 opposition? I would hope so!

Anyone else bought the audio stream for this? It’s not working for me

Yates would have been murdered for missing that

 

[Bluenile]

Fulton gets the ball in the right of midfield, no Gillingham player in front of him, so he passes it back!

 

[bakajack]

Yates would have been murdered for missing that

Yates would have been murdered for not even being in that position in the first place.
Great ball from Ronald and Vipotnik exactly where he should be, clear goal stopped only by an excellent defensive header

You do realise he missed and it wasn't a defensive header don't you?

Replays to me looked like it was headed over the bar by the defender

Nope, but agreed he did well to get in position

 

[bakajack]

Fulton with a decent shot from the edge of the box.
What truly frustrates with Fulton is that he DOES have technique and ability, but he spends 99% of the game with his head either down at the ball or up in the clouds and only shows his potential a fraction of the time.

EDIT
Minutes later he receives an excellent 1-2 down the line, 1 v 1 with a full back and rather than try to take it on or knock it past him he plays a blind ball backwards to no one and the attack breaks down
