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. 

I wasn’t criticising the effort. Far from it - that’s the one thing we haven’t lacked 

Injuries have killed the momentum just as we were seeing some progress  . Atkinson, Naismith, Kalas, James - that’s the spine of the team 

The last 8 games will be dead rubbers

Maxs kicking is an absolute joke.

Oh no no no. Dont you know he was picked because of his superior distribution to Bentley?? And apparently a better gk than Bentley too!  

New No 1 GK required this summer please. 

[Swede]

Small squad,  FFP & too many injuries mounting up. The international break can't come quickly enough. Believe it or not with the work already done by NP we will be in a better place next season. I think Swansea have a lot of offloading to do looking at their financial situation.

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.

Should be replaced anyway not consistent enough if we wanna kick on....

Might as well give the russian lad a go,, if we are going out half expecting to lose anyway, whats the harm?

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.  

I wouldn’t blame NP for not motivating the players. The problem is we’ve got the bare bones of a squad and when everyone is fit we’re ok. As soon as a few injuries occur the strength in depth isn’t there 

[Alex_BCFC]

Vyner, cornick,  O’Leary and Sykes been shocking. Really bad.

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.

…. Plus you’ve got posters fighting with each other.

Wow weve made these look like real madrid

[RedM]

Outclassed in every area and outsung by their fans. Our players and fans simply didn't show up 

[Sleepy1968]

I'm a bit of a glutton for punishment. I've got the women's game on the go as well. Getting battered there, but still 0-0.

Pre-season starts after the break imo. Try stuff, experiment, yes play Haikin, invert the pyramid, put Max up front, **** around and find out basically.

Might already be here in Haikin, hope he'll get some game time at some point. He was/is very well-regarded and a big part of Bodo-Glimt's success in Europe (and the league).

May aswell chuck him in the last 7 games then to find out. 

[cityexile]

Second goal obviously came at the right time for them as with their track record was hoping they would start to get nervous. Get our dues with the penalty maybe it’s different, if not exactly deserved by us.

Been good - one bright spark. 

We started with the wrong team and Pearson must take some blame for picking cornick again. 

[robinforlife2]

Mehmeti is a very good player on the ball, but it always feels like he is lacking in support. 

[Topper 123]

We aren’t creating anything our passing is shit I’d say 3 shots on target in 2 games pathetic , no passion from bench or on pitch , players already on their summer hols

[Tomo]

Why do we insist on short corner routine

Without Vyner we’d have been beaten even more convincing.

Must admit I’m starting to doubt that O’Leary is the long term answer. The error rate has been poor recently.

Preston, Cardiff and now Swansea in recent weeks.

Might be something to do with having no real threat in the air.

Fair enough, Andy. I usually take "they're on holiday already" or variations on the theme to mean "they're not trying". 

Agree on the dead rubbers, but be interesting to see how we can the team functioning when we have a few of the names you list back fit.

 

I think there's a valid argument there that we might have lost some edge now, not just because of small squad fatigue, but also the lack of an objective. 

Alex Scott is a possible example for me. He's still doing the km, but some sloppiness is creeping into his game, and I just wonder if a part of his mindset, conscious or unconscious, is distracted or detached.

Just a theory.

He needs a run of games to see how he will fit into our system, it’s hardly high risk to start him at this point of the season with nothing to play for.

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

Are you watching the game? We've been awful. 

[robinforlife2]

Weimann scores but offside. 

[EstoniaTallinnRed]

Goal but Off side!
