That's only for away games. At home games AOC commentates from somewhere in the West stand - yesterday it was close to Alan Curtis and Esme Allchurch because he mentioned them in commentary (and not just randomly - they were taking their seats after half time I believe). [Post edited 2 Feb 20:50]

To be fair, I don't think he is excited by our possession stats these days - he's just filling in his commentary as per his scripted notes i.e. at 10 mins give possession stats, at 20 mins tell us that the opposition haven't won In Swansea since 1952, at 40 mins tell us about jacksathome, etc.
My main beef with AOC is knowing what's going on on the field. Yesterday, Coventry's first goal was the result of Christie getting on the wrong side of Simms and being outmuscled on the by-line. He said it was Cabango. Considering where he sits, and the fact he has a monitor in front of him (presumably) that's pretty poor. |

In terms of other teams in the Championship:
The only other team that springs to mind is Hull City. I've always thought their pitch was crap also, and we generally don't do very well up there.
Not sure about Bristol City's Ashton Gate - do Bristol rugby play there? We generally don't do well there either.
Although, in fairness, there are many grounds where we tend not to do well - shared or not. |

Or ...
A very decent performance in awful conditions. We were the better team by far. A good result where we haven't done particularly well in recent years. Only poor finishing, and Cabango, let us down.
Imagine having to watch Luton every week. |

LW obviously saw what Klopp did with Trent A-A playing the inverted fullback role last season and thought he'd try it with Key. I don't dislike that - it worked really well first half v Coventry. But Key needs to learn not to get caught in possession when doing that or when he goes on one of his blind alley runs. |

I have mixed feelings about Key. I don't think he's a bad defender. He looks OK when he's carrying the ball forward. But, when he goes on his meandering runs into midfield, how often does he lose the ball? When he does lose the ball he's pretty much out of the game and it exposes us to the transition - which is arguably our weakest point. I also think he gets muscled off the ball too easily. He's played the inverted fullback recently - most notably in the first half against Coventry - and he's OK - just OK. To play in midfield - especially the centre of midfield - you need to be quick of mind and feet. And he's not. For me, he's got lots to work on but he's got time. |

Not sure what anyone sees in MPH. He shouldn't be anywhere near our starting XI. |

Ah, that's my problem right there. I paid to watch on Swans TV. |

If you're referring to Anthony O'C, I guess half the problem is that he's sitting in a room at The Liberty watching on a screen, so doesn't get the atmosphere from the stadium. If he's quiet it's because the sound he's being given from the stadium is too low. When he's at the Liberty he has to raise his voice to be heard over the crowd noise. Plus he doesn't have co-comms this season - not sure why that is.
Mind you - he's not the brightest. Last week he commented that there were 4 Norwich subs warming up when there should only be 3. Except that rule has changed - you can now have 5 subs warming up. |

Yes they are. Not the club as such but the company in charge of the stream. |

I watched the paid-for SwansTV on my laptop and the audio was ahead. Very annoying. |

Not sure what that has to do with anything. I was merely pointing out that the list in the OP isn't quite right. It mentions all the other players that are on loan but not Mepham. |

Do you feel the same when you see the likes of Derby County and Bolton Wanderers in a league below us? |
