Yes they are better than us. In football, one team is usually better than the other but I would expect better than this.  Why can other teams go there and play well and keep the ball? We can’t even make 4 consecutive passes. It’s that which annoys me. I don’t mind losing to Bournemouth away but I mind how we lose!

Fair point. 
 

But if one team is so much better than the other, it’s difficult to keep the ball no?

[Garland-sweden]

 Clear penalty! What is the ref doing? 

[WessexPest]

Not a penalty in my book, but you can bet a pound to a pinch of s*** it would’ve been given if the “coming together” had been at the other end of the park.

good save Bents one-on-one

Just can’t keep hold of the ball up top. We really go do with that type of ball winning and holding player up there

I’ve not seen how Reading and Derby managed it away to Bournemouth but if other teams can do it then I don’t know why we can’t.  I’m not expecting the 52% they had but 28% is a joke with a 62% pass success rate.

Massengo is killing our attack atm, he just seems to be off the pace of how we're playing.

Just disjointed up top, that’s what Semenyo does well, he can battle and keep hold of the ball, that’s not what Wells can do, he’s a runner off the ball, I don’t think we’ve got anyone that can play the type of ball he thrives on

How does Martin miss that, golden chance to level,

What matters over 46 games is how many points you have, how did those teams do at Blackburn & QPR? 

We’ll finish well clear of both & that’s what is really important.
 

 

[Engvall’s Splinter]

What a chance. 

[RedorDead BCFC]

Have to give the keeper, that was a great save 

[Unan]

So close Martin

[keflav]

Could and should have been 2-2 good save by keeper...

Keeper sticks a leg out, not sure what more Martin could have done. At the other end of the pitch that bounces to a Bournemouth player for a tap in, for us it lands at the feet of a Bournemouth defender…

[Lanterne Rouge]

******* s*gs

Not if they didn’t have points deducted.  Derby would be above us and Reading would be a few points behind us. When you are building I would hope to see more progress than this

We don’t have players confident or capable on the ball, apart from Scott.

The majority of our players are more runners, than footballers. This all comes back down to recruitment….

And yet from our 3 games with them we have 9 points, and they have 0.

Crapdiff 0 - Swans 3

This has been going on for years now,under LJ we were basically a counter attacking side with awful possession stats,it seems ingrained now for some reason at our club and it’s not good 

[pillred]

Looks like Swansea will do the double over Cardiff for the first time in their entire history.

[old_eastender]

Conway on for Cundy, who has been good, make sense of that!

[Southport Red]

Game over

[Bris Red]

******* **** defending
