That's twice DaSilvas height is causing issues, missing Pring out there, he has the height to deal with those situations.

And again.

[Banjo Red]

2 shocking goals 

[Spike]

Came from Dasilva being easily beaten in the air at the back post again and poor closing down, Max couldn't see the shot but still poor.

Our defending has been our undoing today, Swansea have dominated the possession and we've not been good enough defending, it's all good and well trying to play on the counter but if you don't take your chances or create enough then the opposition having so much of the ball is just asking for problems. Swansea has pressed well today too.

[mozo]

Totally deserved for Swansea. They should have been 3 or 4 nil before we should have got a penalty.

[Alex_BCFC]

Not that we deserve anything but that is a shocking decision not to give us a pen 

[archie andrews]

Too fkin soft need a strong spine of signings in summer especially a warrior in midfield been missing one for years.... 

[Robin101]

Feeling quite relieved that our form was so good since the new year because it’s unravelling a bit again isn’t it. 

Injuries have killed this season’s end. Oh well. Let’s try to finish with more points than last season. 

[Wanderingred]

It doesn’t take much for things to turn toxic on here.

[cityexile]

Should get the block in clearly there. 

[winsaw]

We have not been bad today, just had no luck and i think the smallness of out squad is costing us a little as today a few to many square pegs in round holes

[Buster]

Total shit show not one good player today not one.

We look very much the team that is all ready for the season to end. Nothing to play for, injuries galore - just look like we have nothing to play for right from the outset 

Shame as the last 2 months have been really positive but the season can’t end quick enough for me

Season can’t be over soon enough, we’re just done in !

[BigTone]

Was just a matter of time

[EstoniaTallinnRed]

Why didn't NP put Wilson on before and leave Sykes up, now he does it when it's all over.

[robinforlife2]

Cynical tackle by Swansea on Sykes.

Piroe only doing what every manager would tell a player to do when you could be at risk of a goal. 

[Pound Lane Red]

Bossed us all over. Poor game for us. Penalty claim aside do not think we warrant anything today. Not wasting any more time watching, better things to do than watch this disinterested team today. Only Wells, Weimann, Scott and Mehmeti look bothered. 

[Top Robin]

Pathetic. We may be safe and have no chance of play offs but it isn't too much to expect Nige to motivate this team to play with some fight.  

[Atyeo's lift]

Look in the bright side - we usually go into the international break playing well and then start badly; this time it might turn out the opposite

I've not seen much toxicity, frustrated but fair criticism, Max has been awful today and I like Max, sometimes when a player plays poorly they need to be called out.

[Super]

Pretty one-sided. Need this international break to get some players back.

 

 

[BigTone]

And a 3rd is looking inevitable

Pato nearly makes it 3-0, deflection saves us.

I don't think you can level that criticism at them, plenty to criticise last couple of games but not the effort. They're still running their nuts off. 

And a few of them are running on empty. The break is desperately needed.

[Ecko]

Maxs kicking is an absolute joke.

[ashton_fan]

Our lack of a first ball CB showing up today

Omar Taylor-Clarke has looked ok

For God's sake you're like a dog with a bone. Give it a rest. 

To be fair you’re like a dog with a bone supporting Cornick. I could say give it a rest but I won’t as this is a forum. Different people have different opinions. You can’t expect everyone to agree with you 

[Spike]

Max's distribution has been awful today, it's the one area he really needs to improve on if he wants to keep that spot in the team or Pearson will look to replace him.

Yes, injuries have been a factor. But I think that it's stretching it to say that our defeat today is down to bad luck rather than playing poorly. Swansea, who aren't great, have been better than us, and we have been wasteful and toothless.

That's the one positive today. 

Wilson getting on the pitch is encouraging too.
