That was a very tough watch. Until the goal, I was going to say that it was summed up by EMC smacking a goal bound shot straight at Rudoni.

Still, ahead. It needs a significant improvement in the second half, though.

According to xG Simms chance was xG 0.02, i.e. you'd be expected score only once in 50 attempts.

The fact you didn’t answer either of my questions says a lot 🤣

How can a header from 5 yards be 0.02 XG? I've backed Simms recently but it was a 50p header and he should have scored it. I don't really think anything else needs to be said.

Fed up of every co-commentator trotting out the 'Cov usually blow teams away by 3/4 goals' - we haven't done that for a while

We sont nees to argue about a miss , opinions .. but that half overall was pretty average by our standards , we do miss JDS for the way we play ..EMC tremendous finish just a top player
I'd like to see Brau tried.

Ronald looks pretty crap for Swansea so I think he could cope with him.

Sheaf's left so you need a new "boo" boy to continue your 50p Grendal tribute act?

Flat half but we're winning so who cares. It's BTA I'm really looking forward to seeing again.

Im fairness , id like to see the replay anyway .. from block 16 it looked a fairly straight forward chance .. not an issue either way

I suggested that he played instead of Wright you absolute fucking moron.

He missed an easy chance. Many of you can't see it. Has nothing to do with what I think of the player.

Don't think Swansea have been too bad. Moved it about nicely although luckily toothless up front. Them having to go for an equaliser should hopefully work in our favour second half

That's true AFC but seeing glimpses in this game that he's getting back on it. Just needs time to be back at his very best.

Problem is when we know a player can be so good but off it doesn’t help. I wonder if this so called shoulder injury is hampering him still.

Perfectly good first half. Could be 2-3 up. Rushworth very decisive - seems to get better every game. Just got to carry on getting it wide to Saka and EMC second half

They’ve been pretty ponderous in possession and slow coming forwards but their defence looks very good and composed. But hopefully you are right!
