Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Swansea vs Watford | The EFL Championship

[Jack2jack]

Unrecognisable first half, superb. Some more than decent performances. Key, peart Harris, not to mention Vigs between the sticks.All playing their part. Fair play to Darling and Cabango too. Ah fvck it they were all tidy.Keep it up lads.

 

[Andrew - North Hill]

Good performance and great win.

Vig is one hell of a signing. What a keeper.

Cabango and Darling, I never liked them before but that is starting to look a proper partnership.

We're doing alright with what we've got.

6 points from the last 2 games takes the pressure off before 2 of the toughest games of the season.

We've scored less than any other team in the division, but have conceded less than anyone outside 5 of the top 6 (Watford being the exception). No prizes for guessing where we need to improve....

In other news, Gyokeres scored a hat-trick against Man City. Possibly as crazy as Eder scoring the winning goal in the Euros.

I’m much calmer about that scoring stat just now, as in the last two games we’ve been looking to create and score. We’d be in a different place had we been doing that earlier, I feel. I’m not scared of Burnley. Miwaw just beat them. Leeds are a different kettle of fish.

I think we have to find a way of conserving some energy. If only we were fit enough to do the full hog for 90.

Apparently Sporting have put an 85 million release clause on Gyokeres.
How times change eh.

Sorry, I’ll never believe he’s any good

I don't think any of us saw that coming.

Fair play to the lad, he's transformed himself in to a top player.

I can't fault the effort, that was a really hard fought win.
We are SO lacking quality in the final third, though. Our shooting in and around the box is appalling. And decision making is often poor, too. What was Ronald doing trying to score the Hollywood goal from forty yards out when he only had to square it to put our man away unmarked on goal? These are the things we need to improve, but I don't think you can coach that, it's football intelligence.

Yep, Ronnie is a fckn headcase. Can't read what he's doing when he doesn't know himself.

Not sure anyone had 'Cabango and Darling forming the backbone of one of the meanest defences in the league' on their bingo card

Can’t watch. Just got back from Giovinazzo in Italy wondering why I’m still living in the equivalent of a dark fridge.

An absolutely smashing little harbour.

A new Attacking Midfielder and a striker.. and coach composure into them.. it's all a bit rush, rush rush.. sometimes It works, but the top teams have tempo, flow and composure, but we're a little erratic.. almost do too much.. but I hope we don't go back into our shell and play veterans footy

 

[Cooperman]

Barely half full tonight, IMO. On the other hand nothing like two wins in two to get a few bums back on seats.

It's some turnaround from shipping goals at will not so long ago.

Our recruitment team needs to find two that are compatible with one another. That's easier said than done.

Iff/big iff we turn Burnley over. Lids on a Sunday afternoon down here will be some day out.

Burnley are not in great form...
