Indeed, like I said earlier I just don't buy it that they're some top side
Well they are saying it tbf
Got the tactics wrong from the start which saw us 2-0 down after 12 minutes and then failed to change anything until the 70th minute where he made the baffling decision to completely cede the midfield to them and bring on Jones who has barely played for three years. Then sat on his hands until the 89th minute and pointlessly brought Walker on way too late.
So, what did he do right?
I’m on the fence. We made them uncomfortable at times but didn’t threaten properly. We pressured but as ever the final ball gets worse each game.
HamerHis first touch and use of the ball is better than O'Hare. You cannot fault O'Hare's involvement but his pass completion must be abysmal. I always feel when we break Allen will pick the right pass most of the time. Who else is in the team can that be said about?
Given a 2 goal headstart anyone can look comfortable but despite that they were still very charitable at the back.
It's being polite, we were defensively a mess for most of the first half and snuffed out our own attacking threat.
I dont think we were anywhere near as bad as what people are making out on here .
I think that was a very good performance by Swansea , who are imo a bloody good side
Walker for godden would have been better but robins has earned the right to make some errorsTo what though? Had nothing in terms of impact players on the bench really. Jones in theory but he looks miles off.

I’m a big fan of COH but I’m a bit worried about his deteriorating passing and decision making in the oppositions half. We all know the goals aren't really there with him but he needs to contribute in assists. 0 goals and 0 assists after 16 games - we need more from COH.
Walker would’ve got zero service. Maybe Kane for Dabo. But we weren’t really working it wide.
He would've at least been a better bet with balls over the top. Surely wouldn't have been offside more times than Baka at Blackpool
Agreed, thought we played well but just lacked the final ball. It felt all second half like a goal was coming. To read some of the doom and gloom on here is staggering. Thought the players gave it everything tonight.
what balls over the top? It was the obvious tactic all game and we barely tried it second half.
Near the end Jones ran through, then godden ran through, then someone else and still whoever had the ball hesitated then pass it back. It was begging for a dink over the topwhat balls over the top? It was the obvious tactic all game and we barely tried it second half.
Hamer has the ability to spread the play and pass incisively but far too often he tries forcing it and the move breaking down, when there is a better option. That's my point with Allen. He doesn't have technical range of Hamer and not quite the industry of O'Hare but for me uses the ball more effectively, more consistently than both.Hamer
They scored 2Taught a lesson tonight. Swansea came with a game plan and executed it perfectly, the first 20 mins was the best I have seen a team press us. Grabbed 3 goals and shut up shop really, not surprising our goal came from a set piece, offered very little apart from that.
Fair play to them got it tactically spot on. The 2nd half was a masterclass in how to see out a game away from home

We did give it all and Dabo was a fraction from a well earned point from 2 down....it just did not quite happen. BUT we have been a bit hot and cold with our form of late. Not performing as we did in the first 10 games. That may well be the other teams doing their homework on us. As ever we seem to miss Kelly who steadies the ship. Thought Allen was good tonight but the final ball is not going our way, almost as though we are trying too hard. It will change soon enough. Moore did not do well tonight and should have saved the first one. The second one was offside, so could have been so different. Swans enjoying their good fortune and we lick our wounds and move on. Please someone tell O'Hare to put his laces through it!Agreed, thought we played well but just lacked the final ball. It felt all second half like a goal was coming.

I agree. It was strange that we didn't play the ball through. Forward players weren't great but they had so little service.Near the end Jones ran through, then godden ran through, then someone else and still whoever had the ball hesitated then pass it back. It was begging for a dink over the top
Find that quite hard to believe really
They scored 2

They played really wellPerfection to perform black magic on the linesman and to ask us nicely to give away a goal on 5 minutes. Perfection to give the ball away in their own third of the pitch and have O'Hare side foot it to the keeper.
They will play better than that and lose this season.
why?

LutonWho has played better than that against us this season? We were beaten on the night by the better footballing side. Simple

If that was really the best opposition performance they have seen this season then the league is in pretty bad shape.
