Swansea City at home match thread

[Spike]

No matter what anyone says today the back 3 have been brilliant, not often I'll say that about Vyner but he's been great too. 

Would had been a win had we left players unmarked on a corner but that shouldn't be the job of the back three. 

Prior to kick off I would have snatched a point so cannot complain but as per usual, despite being at home, we were hanging on.. Frustrating that we can't finish a match on a high! 

[Buster]

Good point that

[Sheppy2003]

Sam Bell gets an opportunity, trotting around and as soon as a player goes pst him he makes no effort to close down or tackle

[petehinton]

Should’ve won that 2 or 3-0. Points dropped for me but decent result in the circumstances 

[AshtonRobin21]

I would have taken a point before kick-off. 

But I found it so frustrating how we lost all of our attacking threat once they equalised. 

They would have left gaps for us to counter-attack in the later stages. Semenyo and Conway would have been able to exploit the gaps. 

 

[Lanterne Rouge]

Fair result given the team we had to put out and the ones that stepped in like Pring did very well.

[Northern Red]

That'll do. Shame we couldn't see it out but it took a quality strike to deny us.

Back 3 were outstanding in the circumstances.

[David Brent]

Fair enough. Another point on the board.

[Jerseybean]

Well played City, we only had 29% of the ball but limited them to just a few chances. Unfortunately we were not clinical enough especially AS with a great chance to open the scoring.

Certainly under the circumstances a well deserved point.

1-1.... shame we could not hold in, BUT a very good performance and if Semenyo had been sharper today we could have comfortably won it.

Hats off to Pring & Tanner and even Vyner none of whom put a foot wrong.

We have to keep with Conway & Wells up top.

 

Agree…but “even Vyner”?

[Bryans Left Peg]

Would’ve been happy with a point pre-march but ultimately leaving stadium annoyed.

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.

1-1 - Good result in the end. Agree that we look dodgy and always sit too deep.....

Don’t even get me started on the subs

You must be one of if the most negative posters on here ( which is your right with this being a forum ) but can you not see this team is definitely making progress albeit very slowly , our displays are very very inconsistent been some very good been some very very poor ( Birmingham & reading ) however when Pearson first took over we could barely get in the oppositions half . I can see light at the end of the tunnel even if it is a long tunnel.

Very hard fought point. Will take that. Some really good defensive play and always gave themselves a chance.

I agree Swansea I thought were an attractive side without much substance.

Take a point I think the only things that disappointed me was the lack of ambition after going a goal up- and also one of wells or semenyo should have stayed on.

Points like today really add up at season end

Decent match in fairness. Always easy in hindsight but wonder if Semenyo is better at the moment coming on with 30 to go.

Thought we worked incredibly hard without the ball and back three were very solid. Made them score a goal that needed a good finish. Only some good play stoped them creating more, but in hindsight Swansea were pleasing on the eye but did not end up creating that much in terms of clear chances. Sometimes if it’s got a bit wrong it’s important to at least get the point, which in fairness I thought we deserved.

[KendrickDNB]

I am appalled the linesman continued with that going on behind him…

 

Use some human decency and get someone help when they need it…

whos turn is it to go today? hope you got a firearms licence

[Major Isewater]

Another Championship game, evenly matched . On another day we win that 2 or 3 -1 . 
A  battling performance especially given the disruption due to Illness in the camp.

Well done to all , another point on the board and moving on to the next match.

 

[tin]

A point was a fair reflection of the game, and Andre Marriner was excellent IMO. Semenyo should’ve buried that golden chance early on, but Swansea created bugger all despite their possession.

I can see this being a draw.............but i obviously hope n pray that i am completely wrong.

Unless we scored a 2nd goal ........an equalising goal was always likely. Swansea are a very good team, so a draw, although disappointing, is a good result.

[Red_Alligator]

All things considered, a valuable point. On another day might have sneaked it, but given Swansea's domination in possession, I'll take that.

[BCFCGav]

Great point against a form team with 4 central defenders ill for injured. Pring very good.

Yes I did notice that , criticism where it’s due but ffs give the players a chance .

thought we were decent against a good side it goes to show how much we have improved over 18 months that we are disappointed with a draw , as for backs to the wall once they equalised with our record for conceding goals late that was always gonna happen , if you have played any standard of football you know sometimes that just how it is regardless of what ever you try to do 

[frenchred]

good point and performance all things considered

Tell you what I thought the best result was , not the 1-1 scoreline

But the performance of some of the younger players who haven’t found game time
and the return to some form and good signs from others
