blobby2 added 20:30 - Nov 9 Great comeback after going one down . Carroll and Montero outstanding, Bartley impressive considering his lack of game time. Solid and entertaining performance, great to see gomis get his first premier goal. Leon back an added plus. Happy jacks everywhere tonight. cockneyswan added 21:00 - Nov 9 Coming back from a goal down to get a win showed great team spirit. Also losing Wayne, Nathan , jonjo and Fernandez before ko looked very difficult , but just goes to show what a great squad we now have. Also great to see Leon back on the pitch. Well done the swans!! lifelong added 23:03 - Nov 9 1jack added 23:19 - Nov 9 Gowerjack added 23:24 - Nov 9 jacktar added 09:22 - Nov 10 jacktar added 09:25 - Nov 10 gpsgm added 12:05 - Nov 10 I love watching this team adapt to whatever challenge they face. Every game is different but they keep working out how to win. Intelligent players and an intelligent manager with more plans than you can shake a stick at. Now lets see how we do against the so called 'top four' teams. Recoilboss added 09:05 - Nov 23 If you don’t buy a ticket… etc. You could say Harry sent out a team of battlers and we were unlucky, but the truth is we got exactly what we deserved. Playing for a draw has got us precisely 0 points from 6 away games this season (plus a 7th defeat at Burton). What is to lose by having a go? I naively thought Harry had finally seen the light but this was a reversion to his tried & tested disastrous approach when travelling this season. Nothing learnt, no willingness to get forward and attack with purpose, pace & width, or crucially, set up with the creative personnel to give us those options. Why wasn’t Krankjar or Hoilett included from the start instead of essentially 8 defenders and two slow strikers getting negligable service as a result? Certain players did ok yesterday and the fitness has improved, but it’s nowhere near enough with a line up where invention & imagination is given little chance, where the mindset is basically negative, when we only try to score in ernest once we have conceded. QPR never looked like getting on the score sheet yesterday and the red herring of the two up front does not convince me we particularly wanted to. The intent from above was to try and stop a team who may be in form but are quite average in fact, and who gave us plenty of space which we didn’t have the quality to capitalise on. A better side would have comfortably mugged Newcastle yesterday. Frustrating and depressing after recent improvement. nightwish added 21:35 - Nov 23 Recoilboss your report is spot on exactly the same as I saw things against Newcastle.If I had written a report I would have written it word for word the same as you
