Seriously good point against the Stokies.....we never get much there, so thanks for the point. Well deserved as well👍


And we played equally crap to go two down under Laudrup and Brodger and showed no signs of getting back at all. Given that FG is clearly not up to it, that says a lot about them then. Oh, hang on....could it be agenda time.

It's no doubt been said many times, but fugg knows why it took FG until the 60th minute to make the most obvious of changes to the team. Why wait until the clock turned exactly 60:00 anyway, is he superstitious? We had to endure the team playing like a bunch of ineffective quims for 15 minutes while he waited until the allotted 'hour mark' to make the change. If we'd done it at half time we'd probably have won that game.

Quite why he persists in playing Cork and Leon in the same team baffles me - we end up far too narrow, lop-sided and crippled as an attacking force.
You can make an argument for it in terms of making us hard to beat during the dark days of January/Feb, but today? FFS.

FG - you're fulfilling your brief, no doubt. But by f*ck you're hard to like!

PS - I am happy with today's point btw (this is me happy..). But we don't half make it hard for ourselves. Will we FINALLY see a Swansea team against Chelsea that makes best use of the assets at our disposal? or do we need to wait until the 60th minute in every game?

Given that he'll be forgotten in the Montero love tonight, special mention for Routs as well today.

Cracking play for our first. Gives his all every match, even if sometimes is off the pace.

Surely we won't see Gomis start again unless Paloschi gets injured (in which case I'd play Emnes over him).


Well said. Routs was just as influential as Montero today. He's not a fan's favourite, although I don't know why, he's generally very effective and consistent at what he does

A scathing piece by Wathan but not without its accuracies to be fair.

We have to face up to things regardless of the result!

If Guidolin had made the changes too early it would have allowed Hughes to counteract it before the end of the game, this way we got 2 goals before they really reacted.

I agree with all that.

Guidolin is not the man to take Swansea a City forward.

An inept performance from him until the 60 th minute too.

If we set up with that fecking diamond in the next game, we might as well bring Kevin Cullis back.

It's just the internet, init.
