Leeds v Norwich understandably first, then Sheff U, then Steve Bruce's Wednesday, then Martin O'Neil's Forest, then Tony Pullis's Boro returning to his old club, etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backing you here EMB He has been (in general) , IMHO average to poor for last 12 months , recently improved and today much better IMHO Palmer stretching on the bench must help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cracking stuff; roll on next week and Blackburn, who at one stage could have been threatening to leap-frog us with a win next week, now are a side who blew a 2-0 lead inside 15 mins and conceded four today. Great work from the team, and good to see us continuing to defend well and keep clean sheets; always gives you a chance. COYR! conceded 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said he hasn't had an average game for 12 months, basically meaning he's been crap every time he's played. How did you think he played yesterday btw? Certainly was better than average don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s debatable and if there is doubt the attacking team should get the benefit. I can see why it was given offside...if the linesman had been on the other side of the pitch the goal would have probably stood. Not having a defender between the linesman and attacker makes the decision more difficult...I doubt the lino could ‘see’ any of their defender behind Wiemann.

BTRFTG Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Most around here called it right - Solid. Successful sides are built on rock solid defences and again today our unit did a mightily efficient job, despite the fact early doors we defended so narrow. Shouldn't be singling out individuals but difficult not to. Just how good is Webster becoming,? He reads the game brilliantly and his ability to play football, bringing it out and absorbing the opposition before laying it off is a joy to watch. People used to bang on about Skuse's passing ability, latterly Pack, but I reckon Webster has the best across field skills at the club. DaSilva showed why he should start over Kelly every time (though Kelly himself is a useful body to have.) His reading and anticipation is so much superior, he cuts no truck in the challenge, has sweet,fast feet and great attitude. He also jumps far higher then his diminutive stature should permit. Fearless didn't have much to do but when asked pulled off decent saves, his touch onto the post was sublime. I thought Brownhill was a tad subdued and Patterson (who shouldn't have started in my book,) opened brightly and unusually for him kept it up. CoD working with DaSilva was a joy and kept Swansea tied up that side. Elliasen's cameo in bringing on irritation and pace late on (ditto Taylor,) shows what strength we have on the bench. Weimann was Weimann and again ran (with purpose and intelligence,) his socks off, pressed the opposition and deserved a well taken goal. Wasn't sure about his disallowed effort. Marginal at best. And then there's the conundrum. We're banging in the points if not necessarily the goals and had we a decent striker we'd be higher up the table. His header assist aside for the second, Didgeridoo turned in another ineffective performance. He huffs and puffs and looks more a handful than he ever delivers. His movement and ability to get in front of the centre half is non-existent. Some say he isn't a target, if so I'm not sure what he would be as he hasn't the touch, thought or pace to play the 'off-man'. But that remains a minor gripe whilst winning. City wouldn't be City without a major moan so to all those Handbag F'Wits ( including some Police officers) take a bow. If you're one of the Stone Island numpties who jumped over the barrier to berate Swansea, why didn't you leap over the second barrier into them, it was a fight you were after, wasn't it? Can't have been a bad back given the way you scarpered when the fat bloke in high viz waddled toward you? In Greville Smythe afterwards even more embarrassing, not sure what you you running after, indiscriminately picking on loan, weak stragglers when the herd was obvious in front of you, but didn't fancy having a go at that, did you? Here's a tip, if you really do want a dust up keep both hands free as carrying your mobile taking action shots means the only shot you'll end up bothering with is the one that has you seeing stars. To the idiot cop who attempted (sic) to stop me walking to my car, understand how the law works and whom you serve. To the mounted officer who was clearly taking pleasure in lamping with baton the Swansea idiots pinned against the railings at the far side of the park, you're a thug and bully, but given the state of justice these days it's doubtless the most effective form of control there is. Onwards and upwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you think he played yesterday btw? Certainly was better than average don't you think? I think I said barely average and overall not consistent enough to keep his place. The excuse last season was, we had no alternatives to playing him and now we do, we have not only Palmer but also Eliasson, both are more dangerous, more productive and far more physical. Maybe he was slightly above average, but the 2 I have mentioned are imo better all round options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
