GrahamC Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Delighted we won, but Christ, Swansea are so dull, two shots on goal, one a virtual back pass from a free kick, no wonder they score so few, they pass it square, back, fall over and then their pathetic manager squeals at the fourth official for a free kick.

You can see how they don't score many, but at the same time you can see how they don't concede many! They went on a massive unbeaten run where they won a hell of a lot of games 1-0, but I agree there are much better teams in our division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmpowell Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Swansea are so dull And we aren't?!? In both the Forest and this game I'm pretty sure we've gone out with the game plan of 'boring them' to sleep, and then capitalise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Reminded me of Brighton the season they beat us in the play offs. Lets hope they don't go the same way Brighton did.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 I can see it. In a tight league they have a good defence and opened us up a couple of times in the first half. 2nd half they were shite though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robins72 Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 You can see why they have such a good record for goals conceded but as for goals scored very poor! Will they hit 40 goals by the end of the season?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swji Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Was very dull. Honestly think they came to take a draw/nick a winner without much attacking intent. Still, I'll take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I BELIEVE Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Very frustrating team to play against but the final score is all that matters..... 1-0 see you next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Batman Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 it's the old arguement of whether you'd rather win 1-0 every week and be at the top while playing football which aint too great or be an entertaining team and risk losing. In an ideal world, every footy match would be entertaining and high scoring, but i like the tactical defensive side to football Give me 1-0 wins every week.

Red Grovesy Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Have to say, the game was dull but I got my entertainment from Paulo Sousa (and the win of course). Sitting in the Williams just behind the bloke, I could watch him every week. Great entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In an ideal world, every footy match would be entertaining and high scoring, but i like the tactical defensive side to football Give me 1-0 wins every week. Likewise. Swansea have done what we did initially in this league i.e. made themselves hard to beat first and worried about entertainment second. Like them we were regarded as a good footballing side who did not score many goals. Once we (at least the fans) started having fantasies of thrashing Championship sides with scintillating wing play we lost our way. Look at what happened when we played 4-4-2. Back to basics now perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerly known as ivan Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 what i did like about them was i dont think they once lumped it upfield. every goal kick went short and they tried playing from the back, even when we put pressure on them. to judge their whole season on one game is a bit harsh. every team has an off day and to be fair the match in general was very poor until ivan came on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Was a tad surprised really. They have a good defence it would seem- a major problem up front however. If they had a striker like Maynard, they would have won more games I am sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucksred Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 They remind me of us in our first season back, tight at the back blunt up top. Good comparison. How many goals did we concede that season 40 odd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chivs Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 I liked their number 43 (can't remember name). Although Sproule started to rip through him by the end, he had a really solid game. I like the fact that he didn't try to lump it every time he won the ball. (Much like all of Swansea's defence andtheir goalie who probably never kicked the ball from hands). So, a decent left back. Hmmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they had a striker like Maynard, they would have won more games I am sure. If we still had Scotland here i think we would have been even higher. Our strikers are Kuqi, Pintado, Beattie, Trundle and Idrizaj. Kuqi has been a good signing to be fair, Pintado is useless (as you can tell from saturdays game!) 2 goals all season hes scored and 5 in the whole of last season, Beattie (injury prone) has scored 3 goals since signing for us back in August but has a different injury everyweek. Trundle (on loan from you of course!) is our second top goal scorer and our highest scoring striker and must be so frustrated at not playing. I doubt we'll sign him next season though and Idrizaj is a young striker who has only played about 3 games for us. Our team is so defensive that we rarely have many chances or shoot at goal and thats why we've had so many clean sheets and not scored many goals. To agree with you if we had a 10/15 goal a season striker we'd probably be up in the top 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until you get the 10/15 a season goal scorer and realize that he isn't getting the service which he needs - then you change your midfield to try and provide him with the service he needs which means your a defensive man short in midfield which opens you up at the back and people start scoring for fun against you.

The Casual Connoisseur Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Both Forest and Swansea were poor at Ashton Gate, the fact we managed to score 4 against Leicester says a lot about the play off hopefulls as does the 6 we conceeded at home to Caardiff, my money is on the bluturd gypos to go up.

MATT BCFC Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 TBH ive seen Swansea play few times this season and they have looked good. They keep the ball well just dont have a decent striker there. Nathan Dyer one of the best players int he league as well IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
