Don't apologise for feeling positive after a great comeback. Better that than to be overly negative. | |

It most certainly will tell the players how this system works, it genuinely needs a player like Ntcham to make it tick, not a Grimes with a Downes for sure. Ntcham was absolutely stunning today. We could have out seven past them in the second half. | |

We have to be confident in our own ability to beat teams though. We're still a bit too concerned about the opposition than in selecting our own strongest team. Piroe, Obafemi and Ntcham have to play if fit. | |

GREAT POINT! | |

I think the Piroe, Oba, Ntcham thing should be obvious given the difference with them all on the pitch. Bench Walsh for Ntcham, Paterson for Piroe? | |

Paterson for Piroe maybe. Think we need to try a Downes-Ntcham-Walsh midfield at least once. | |

Ntcham currently head and shoulders ahead of Walsh. It's nice to have the problem of getting all these very good new signings in the starting 11. I thought Paterson had a good match. Can we get Pirloe, Obenfami, Ntcham and Paterson all in the starting 11. | | | |

Paterson 2 good chances in 2 games, he may have missed both but he's getting in the box to have those opportunities, and takes the odd shot from outside the box. | | | |

Agree. And those 3 along with Laird, are the only nailed on players in the squad right now IMO. Martin clearly wants Grimes in there, but the rest are still playing for their places and I'm not sure who I'd even pick. I do like Downes and from what I've seen, Walsh. Don't see a way he can fit all 4 midfielders in though, if we want to play 2 upfront, which I think we do. | |

Ok, If we have Piroe and Oba upfront then it's Ntcham in the hole, Downes in the CM but who goes alongside him, Walsh or Grimes so probably Grimes. Then It's Laird one side so Bidwell the other? Then do we go Bennett, Cabango and Cooper in the back three? Or Latibeaudiere for Cooper? It's still Hamer in goal for me though. How does that sound? It seems to me we can't fit Paterson in too but he's a good sub to have, if Ntcham tires or has an off day it's a straight swap. | |

Paterson scored our first goal today. Swans scored 3 great goals today. No simple tap ins. | | | |

I really don t know who I'd play in defence. None of them have convinced me yet at all. Definitely not Lati. I do think RM will o for Bennett and Williams with A N other. I don't know what he's going to do in midfield either. He obviousy loves Grimes. Ntcham got to play. He also loves Paterson I think too. Always brags him up. It also looks like he likes to play 2 defensive mids, so that would be Grimes and Downes. Still really open for debate there, hence why he hasn't played 2 upfront yet. I don't think he knows who to drop in the middle. Agree with Hamer, but it's close. I think either will have us tearing our hair out half the season. Stick with them though IMO. Benda will be good in future. | |

Only 1 fan started a Thread after 33 minutes wanting him sacked luckily. 90 minute match. Plenty more matches ahead this season we've just got started. | | | |

90 minute hey Walt. Maybe that will mean going at it from the off. | |

Yes but also a game which we should never have drawn from the position we were in. We’re still in September, this is a complete rebuild, players are still coming to full fitness, some having had COVID, it’s going to take a good couple of months. It takes a decent side to come back from 3-0. Had that game gone on longer we’d have won | | | |

You're probably right. It's all new to everyone. Still getting to know one another | |
