There were three lads in front of us next to the netting by the home fans spent the entire game baiting the Swansea fans, I don't think they saw one minute of football, very cringeworthy with their "banter".Thought the Swans fans were pretty decent though.Well again, if these places can't sort their shit out you have a situation where people choose between getting a drink or watching the total 90.
Not saying either is the right decision, but it comes part and parcel with not being able to drink a beer at your seat. If you are on an all dayer I can understand why some want to try and shorten their queue time. As it happened today, if you went down early, you miss two goals.
I was queuing for 15 minutes and decided to stay commited rather than waste that whole time. I got lucky and didn't miss any goals, but let's not be snobbish about this. It is a problem faced by a lot of football fans in this country.

I thought that was a decent performance, away from home to one of our bogey teams.
The squad needs time to gel and, with more faces still to come in, that will be the case for a while yet.
Please let us give Simms a chance. I think he will play well with Wright, although Godden certainly deserves to start at the moment. Simms needs time to settle, our support and a goal under his belt to gain confidence.
Swansea had 58% possession against blues and west brom and 40% against us .. Swansea are a good side and not many sides will boss the game like we did v them .... it should also show city fans what side we can be when it all starts clicking
Not read all of this so forgive me. How did we play ?
Yates looked really sharp and forced quite a few mistakes out of Fadz. I never got what the fuss about him was at Blackpool but I think In a better team he’s a better player. One that got away if we were really after him.Looking at the Swans goal. It wasn’t a case the ball just went over JDS. Issue was he wasn’t tight enough to him and the player got away for the cross. The annoying part was what Fadz did when the ball came into the box. He was at one point with Yates and then decided to move away from him to go behind but completely lost Yates. Had he stayed where he was in front of Yates as the cross came in he would have headed the ball away.

Bring on ScumberlandOK, faded a bit and fairly toothless in the final third. But we got 60% possession away to Swansea which is unheard of and deservedly went ahead.
Clearly it’s going to take time to get the business end of the pitch right. We’ve gone from quick counters with Gus and Vik to possession based football with a much more technically capable side.
I’m excited for when it clicks TBH.
There was a few of them at WembleyGet fully tanked up before the game and then miss the whole 90 minutes
Wright was making some really clever runs but we just ended up stopping and going backwards.We had a lot of possession but let's be honest a lot of it in our own half, we just missed that extra bit in midfield to maybe drive forward with the ball from deep. We looked much better when we moved the ball quickly but the options were not always there to do it.

The number of times he pointed to where he wanted it but it never came , once we mix our play up with a few longer passes he's going to benefit greatlyWright was making some really clever runs but we just ended up stopping and going backwards.

Exactly he kept losing the defender and making the run and pointing and shouting for it but we didn't even try .The number of times he pointed to where he wanted it but it never came , once we mix our play up with a few longer passes he's going to benefit greatly
It’s an amazing skill which is why it’s not a skill many at this level posessnWe really miss an accurate long passer of the ball like Gus who can switch play or hit a strikers run from deep.
Sheaf has it
I agree with @Nick where there were runs being made by Wright in particular (but also Godden and Simms) but the build was too slow.We had a lot of possession but let's be honest a lot of it in our own half, we just missed that extra bit in midfield to maybe drive forward with the ball from deep.

Yes, also it is about players getting to know each other and what runs they make. If you don't pick the pass at the right moment the opportunity is gone within a second.I agree with @Nick where there were runs being made by Wright in particular (but also Godden and Simms) but the build was too slow.
If they haven’t got the range of passing, that’s fine but we need players who have got those attributes. Which I’m sure MR is aware of and working on.
Proper kinky shit thisIn spurts though his balls tend to be bent or floated rather than driven.

We need another option in midfield (although we have had glimpses of what Palmer and O'Hare might do together). Things will improve with time, the new squad needs time.
Harsh. Really enjoyed yesterday. Chatted to Swans fans going in and coming out of the ground, decent bunch who know their football and aware of what we have been through. Great drink down the Marina, parked 15 mins from ground for free near a cracking chippy. Tidy ground, stewards friendly and Swansea fans generated a decent atmosphere.Yeah it wont be a ground il be in a rush go back to. Went a few years ago and forgot how long of a journey it is. You get to cardiff on the M4 and you still have a hour to go. On top of that 1 kiosk to serve 2000 fans is pretty shite. Got a beer pre game, didnt even think of trying at half time.
DM me if you want a punt (and I'm a die hard optimist). It will be Saints or Leicester - although (incomings /injuries dependent) we have a reasonable chance of top 6. Think Hull might be dark horses.Heard someone say on the phone in last night we will win the league. Wouldn't bet against that.
