He's obviously a great crosser of the ball, the best we've had in years. We're unbeaten in the league in 7 games. At least be accurate when you're miserable with us taking two points off the team second in the league. Who said I was miserable? Just giving an opinion Entertaining game in the end..although thought we were lucky to get a point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Final ball has been the thing letting us down the most, got into good areas and then just got the last kick wrong. Take a point and move on & hope Baker’s injury isn’t bad Nagy , commentating, said we need to concentrate more in the final third . It was a scrap and a draw is a fair result . Bentley , as has become the norm, made some important saves and largely kept us in it. I fear that for all the good work Famara and Weimann do they miss too many opportunities. It’s so frustrating. Well done to all the lads they gave it their all and Swansea are no mugs . On to the next one . If we can stay in touch with the top six until our big players come back and we can hopefully bring in a finisher in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up The City! Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 During the game id have taken a 0-0. But the pathetic added 2 mins has really pissed me off. It feels like the ref did that as a compromise to the red card. Had it been the standard 4-5 minutes I'd have fancied us to win, the momentum was in our favour.

Major Isewater Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 From Chris Wathan at the BBC, ’ A lack of cutting edge and some smart defending from both sides ensured there was no breakthrough.’ Pretty much sums it up . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Robin Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 Quite satisfied with the point: at the end we could have snatched a goal, but Swansea had some chances too, so... The lads showed good battling spirit and solidness, weren't always inspired near the opponent's area, but an overall positive performance IMO. COYR!

George Rs Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 To be fair to fammy that’s his 2nd start and 1 of the bench with a goal. Afobe ,Although he could’ve had a 20 goal season, scored 3 in 7. Stats say fam isn’t doing that bad at all imo . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibor Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 Decent very hard working performance. Little bit short on quality going forwards. I thought the starting line up was odd, if you're going to play a small pacey front line then you want Palmer on the pitch surely? Massengo, Bentley and Williams stood out. Palmer and Eliasson made a difference from the bench. Swansea were pretty good and this was a fair point gained. Never seen a player use their body as effectively as Massengo, he won several fouls like that and robbed his opponent half a dozen times. If he can become as consistent with his passing he'll be some player. Overall happy especially considering the injuries, we need to battle to stay in touch until we have a fitter squad and the chance to bring in someone up front too.

Robbored Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 Going toe to toe with and matching the league leaders was a great result - especially when you consider how many first teamers were unavailable. It was a very tough and physical game with both teams not taking any prisoners and it’s quite a surprise that only one red was shown and that was in added on time. It was scrappy at times, end to end at times but a very enjoyable game to watch. Noah was targeted throughout and what a player this lad is!. Along with everyone else he was my MotM by a country mile. He was everywhere. I was really hoping for the “he’s here, he’s there, he’s every flipping where Messengo, Messengo” to go up. Team selection was brave.......but ultimately mistaken and kinda reflected LJs inexperience at Championship level but he soon saw that and rectified it my swopping Baker for Famara. Plus....on a side note....today I must have seen more police around AG than I’ve seen in years! - understandable given the problems last season, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winsaw Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 Bit of last season's problems, we made some good chances but didn't finish them, that 3 at the start was never going to work, glad Lee saw that and changed it to give us the target man we needed, just need someone to finish , still happy with a point as Swansea where a good team , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 That was a close game and quite a battle. I thought we looked solid but lacked quality when we were in attacking positions. Same could be said for Swansea. Diedhiou perhaps should have scored from one of his chances (in the first half when he slid in and the second half header which went straight at the keeper). Massengo has a great game and was everywhere. Overall a decent point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozo Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 I was a bit disappointed with the performance. We conceded a lot of possession, especially 1st half, and in the attacking the 3rd we were wasteful. On the plus side, gritty defensive hustling and I'm saying Massengo is undroppable. Having said that, we also need Nagy back. I'm worried about our frontline, big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterbournered Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 On the face of it a draw at home while missing some of our most important players to a side that went to Leeds and won would seem a decent result! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought our young starlet was fantastic today - enjoy him while you can ‘cos he will be snapped up. Cracking little player. Shout out for AW and TM - looked strong at the back.

I was expecting 4 minutes but thought it might be 5. How could the official possibly only give 2? It defies belief. Given that Swansea has just had a man sent off, it robbed us of significant tine to attack a side a man down. Shocking and utterly inexplicable.
