Lots of over reactions on here. Well in this, we have a threatening aura without actually doing much threatening so far!

Swansea's final ball is much better than ours. We look aggressive and up for it. Think we will tire soon though.

Ian keeps on forgetting the "back" part of wing back duties.

Game is passing Allen by a little.

Hyam and JCS both had some scary moments, JCS seems to have recovered from the first goal now.

JCS didn't cover himself in glory for the second either. Still in it, though, which is a positive after that start to the game.

Just seen the first goal, poor from JCS but Allen ball watching and Hamer just abysmal, as usual an attacking midfielder jogs past him to score

Exciting game and we're arguably lucky to only be one down, even though their second might have been offside and their defender should be off. Terrible start but Swansea don't look solid at the back and chances will come as long as we can keep them out.

Could do with making a chance at half time. JCS and Maatsen are getting roasted but what do you do as we're so light on left-sided defenders? Bring Rose on and have either him or Hyam playing on their weaker side? Bring Kane on and move Dabo across?

Would consider bringing Sheaf on but if his passing matches everyone else's so far it might not be a good move. Allen not in the game but Hamer on a yellow and I'm really worried he'll get a second. I suppose we've got Kelly as an option as well but as we're chasing the game it might just help Swansea keep possession and see out the game.

Wonder if we might consider Waghorn for Gyo with 20 to go? walker is more of a goal threat but he and Godden just seem to get in each others way.

In other words, I've no idea how to change it, so maybe give it 10 minutes of the second half and see how it goes.

Waghorn isnt here unfortunately

Not seen that much pace from Jones post-injury. Always think he looks scared to take his man on. Hoping he gets back to what he was before but needs time.

Thats the thing isn't it. We're not asking him to be a world beater but the odd goal would be nice, and he's given a lot of easy possession away in good areas today.

Anyone at Blackburn away will know o hare is terrified to shoot now. He was 6 yards out open goal he he ran sideways and passed it of the box rather than shoot. His heads gone and MR and Co have to get it back. The fact MR came out joking about how o hare can't score actually is worrying

It's probably a false dichotomy but I really hope we didn't take a punt on Bright instead of signing Patterson

Following the rumours it’s more likely we turned to Bright in desperation after failing to get Patterson

We need to get on Bennett as he can't be far off a second yellow. Wind him up. Draw fouls.

They will with hamer

Two sides have shown great attacking play , both sides have defended awfully , They have taken their chances = 2-1 down.
We need a goal soon in the 2nd half or they can sit on this lead

You can only spin that ‘O’Hare wouldn’t be ours if he could score’ shit.

It’s not unfair to expect him to chip in with the goals. He’s the most frustrating player in front of goal that I can remember. He won’t be here for his entire career, so why not just bang some in while he’s here?

Hamer really isn’t as good as some people think he is. Plus he’s a liability with how often he gets booked.

If there is ever a time Robins is willing to use him off the bench it should be in today's game.

We haven’t been dire or terrible. Nowhere near our best, but as I said before Swansea are a very very good team.

Considering how high there line is, then Sheaf for Allen is a good call as he’s a lot better on the ball, so can both help retain it and find attacking through balls.

Walker has pace, but again, how up for it will he be? He isn’t a worker, he’s a finisher and poacher, will he make runs in behind? He has the movement to, but not sure it’s his usual game.

Gyokeres not quite himself again, but he’s still our best attacking threat.

JCS is poor again, he’s either a world beater or bang average.

Dabo has been either anonymous or poor. But he’s still more of an attacking threat then Kane, so I wouldn’t change it yet.

Dabo isn't more of an attacking threat then Kane at all.

I don't know what people watch.

Personally think Kane is more of an attacking threat than Dabo. Final ball anyway

I don’t get the meltdown from some, been a good game and think both sides look dangerous going forward and edgy at the back. Their second goal is so disappointing, it’s a good yard offside and yet another decision goes against us. It’s really a shocking decision given the Lino is bang in line and so close.

No need for Walker yet but Sheaf for Allen must happen immediately.
