Several players struggled first 15-20, but after that we bossed it and it was,a pretty routine win.
Just can't see anyway we blow this now. Our rivals aren't consistent enough and we just dont look like dropping too many points.

Could also have scored 6 but didn’t ….

I thought Grimes was brilliant today.
No one played badly really and we managed the game well.

EMC was immense, Simms also. Tough to choose between them for MOTM.

Well done Ellis. A great performance and some nice skills.

Yeah would agree with that. Shame Simms didn’t get a goal-his chance was easier than he made it look-a confident player hits the onion bag.

Bidwell 5? Thought he had a decent enough cameo.

Simms, Lats 8s
Grimes, Tank 9s
Everyone else 7.5

Maybe that was harsh. Just noticed him give the ball away twice, leading to a break away. The one led to the Vipotnik golden chance.

Bidwell had a poor 15 minutes
His legs have gone
Will get a two year contract for a league one team next year
Shame as a good guy but all good things come to an end.

I thought he looked very leggy also

He's never been good when coming on as sub for 10-15 mins, even in his early prime with us. He did make one brilliant block. He gave the ball away a couple of times but then he was playing with Markelo ahead of him who he's probably never played with as a LB/LW combination, they didnt look on the same wavelength.

Bidwell also an easy pass to Markelo who would have been one-on-one with the fullback and into the penalty area but he passed it straight to their fullback.

A nice touch from Frank , to give yet another Swansea old boy 15 minutes.
It seemed like he was rusty , but just great for him to get on , as his Skyblue career is coming to an end .
Thanks Bidders

Simms 6.5, needs to sort out positioning and getting in front of his man for a change. I thought Markelo looked bright, especially with that first time cross. Grimes and The Tank just immense in midfield, EMC lively, Tats even when quiet continues to work hard. Woodwork a 10, outstanding defending.

This is mental. I thought Simms was fantastic. Gave their CBs hell, chased everything. Performance that deserved a goal.

Well that saves me saying pretty much exactly the same.
Rushworth a little more cocky/scary? than usual but made the big save when he had to.

Completely agree… that first time touch he did in the 2nd half was class.

Hes got another year on his contract here.A nice touch from Frank , to give yet another Swansea old boy 15 minutes.

Thanks Bidders
Its not set in stone that hes on his way at the end of the season.
If no one else takes him, he can sit on his arse for 12 months (like he has for the last 12 months tbf)
Ideally him and Brau will go and we will bring in another LWB.

Why mental? I was pointing out his continuous poor positioning in front of goal, I never mentioned he did not work hard or did not deserve a goal. FFS Tats should get a 10 every week if that’s your only criteria. Look back at games when some excellent crosses come in and where he is, does not come across his defender. Poor basic forward playing!

Simms was excellent against Preston too. He's really impressed me this season, with his work rate. Starting to look like that big No 9 striker we have all wanted. He's been great coming into games off the bench too. His 2 big chances today, got them both on target, should of scored, but on anther day Keeper doesn't save one of those. + Against Southampton, that Haji header at 0-1. Simms would have scored that.

Simms did well and has more than done his bit when required this season. However, although he wins his fair share of headers elsewhere on the pitch he has never really imposed himself in the air in the opposition box throughout his time with us. He doesn't tend to move to get onto headers, but rather jumps from a static position.
Haji is much more proactive in finding space to attack the ball in the air. He might have missed the chance against Southampton and others like them, and doesn't always provide the aerial threat it feels like he should, but I'm not convinced that Simms would have got into a similar position to have the Southampton chance in the first place.

Can you name three Championship strikers who have scored more headers than him this season?
I’ll start you off, not Vipotnik or Moore. Both have scored the same amount.
Not Haji Wright either who has scored half as many goals with his head.
