Semenyo should’ve buried that golden chance early on, but Swansea created bugger all despite their possession. Weird how people see things. I thought the ref was ******* awful. 2 Quote Link to comment

I can see light at the end of the tunnel even if it is a long tunnel. The channel tunnel is shorter pal Quote Link to comment
Dan Robin Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 (edited) A bit unlucky today: overall we deserved more IMO. Shame, because our first half's performance was really good, and despite not finding the second goal, we coped well with Swansea's increased attacking possession in the second half: one deflected strike, and it's 1-1. Some free kick calls by the referee (gifted or not given) didn't help either. Two points dropped but a good performance: pressing worked until the energies dropped, the emergency defensive trio did well, the ConWells partnership produced another goal (Tommy my MOTM), James was class, etc. Hopefully we'll be more clinical and lucky in other games...

Curr Avon Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 We had a great plan, sit in, nick the ball high up the pitch and create chances. Only a stunning goal spoiled what was a hard-working performance, with Wells and Vyner my stand outs. We'll probably find out later how badly flu affected the squad and 1-1 is a decent result. 2 Quote Link to comment

sh1t_ref_again Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 Great result, shame Semenyo not quite on it, thought he should have taken him off for Williams and pushed Alex behind the strikers. Very strange sub to bring on Martin against a very mobile team Quote Link to comment
Offside Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 Decent performance from City. The back three were excellent and Conway and Wells played well too. After the subs were made we were less effective at pressing and looked less dangerous. Swansea had lots of possession but created very little. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mr Popodopolous Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 Good spirited performance that. Especially given the injuries and lack of fitness and their form vs us, we responded well as we did at home v Preston and away to WBA. Swansea had much more of the ball but we had our chances too, would have taken a point pre game in any event. 1 Quote Link to comment

Thought we were the better team up until our goal, and then we just… stopped pressing or doing anything that was working well? Subs were poor and when the inevitable equaliser came, they looked like the only team who could win it. Frustrated today, I lay all the blame on Pearson for his tactics and substitutions today. Killed the game. Frustrated after that. Not sure why you got a laughing emoji for this mate, I think you’re spot on. I accept that Semenyo was not having his best game, but the fact is that we were keeping their back line occupied and frequently pushing them back. From the moment he took Semenyo and Wells off (Wells - why??) Swansea were able to come forward at will, and from the moment Swansea scored there was no way we were going to win that game. Very frustrating, because we should have taken all three points. What on earth were Martin and Bell going to offer in places of Semenyo and Wells? I’ve seen Sam Bell on many occasions now and sadly I still can’t see a league player there. Happy to be proved wrong, but he showed nothing today. 1 Quote Link to comment

Why awful out of interest? Inconsistent, gave little things like nudges and pulls one minute, then ignored them the next. Gave a foul against Scott in the first half, but missed several similar incidents in the second half, for both teams I’d add. Quote Link to comment

I said the same about Zak and seems like slowly, but surely, I am being proved wrong, and I presently have same opinion as you on Sam Bell as he seems 'light weight'. Point is he has the chance to improve and may yet come good, but he currently seems miles away from a championship player but.. Quote Link to comment

Completely agree, understand he needs experience but it has to be on loan, subs were baffling unless it was illness related! 1 Quote Link to comment
