The swans are on a run of four defeats, no goals and seemingly have lost all confidence in themselves and how to deliver goals and points. Millwall are on a healthy run of form.
Nailed on home win then eh ?

The swans are entering record breaking territory for all the wrong reasons. Here we go ...
Longest losing streak (League): 9 matches, 26 January 1991 to 19 March 1991 Longest non-scoring run (League): 6 matches, 6 February 1996 to 24 February 1996
Who would have thought it, it’s strange how we all take things for granted when they are going well, and even stranger the people who were being hailed as the new dawn in Swansea City’s recent history are two months later being shouted down - and are very persona non grata.
Millwall on the other hand have won their last three games.
So what’s going on ? Well, it’s like this. When you don’t score goals you draw games, when you don’t score goals and let them in you lose games. When you aren’t good enough to create chances to score goals and the other team does you lose games. If you are both shite, you draw games, but as we have seen you also lose games. This isn’t a conundrum, it’s what happens when your luck runs out, your heads are down and you feel sorry for yourself. Then you look at your bank balance, shrug your shoulders and play on your Xbox or PlayStation. It’s a great life being a loser.
A look back in anger
That’s a decent side.
Let’s go back to 2007 and Millwall v Swansea at the New Den. I chose this hame as I thought Kevin Austin was superb playing in this game. As we know he died of pancreatic cancer in 2018. Solid as a rock. Very dodgy penalty awarded against the swans, but still got the point.
Report - Roberto Martinez’s Swans extended their unbeaten run to eight games thanks to an influential performance from Paul Anderson. The on-loan Liverpool winger created the opening goal when his shot was parried into the path of Jason Scotland and the striker steered home. Millwall, under the guidance of new boss Jackett, responded through Zak Whitbread, and they went ahead 20 minutes from time thanks to Alan Dunne’s penalty. But Anderson had the final word, combining with Scotland to make it 2-2 on 78 minutes. The goal is credited to Darryl Duffy.

Jamal confidence rock bottom but looks way better out wide and a threat.
Shouldn't he be on the other side though, he has no left foot? Just a thought.
Manning is poor, Hourihane too quick to go backwards but while I doubted picking Routs he has shown up and as said, he is dragging the rest of them with him.
We need to be better in the last third, our final ball has been terrible but at least Ayew has found his finish!

Don't know if you have played football. But they play right footed players on the left to cut and shoot with their right foot.
I think he should bring Roberts on now,go back to wing backs to defend what we got

Really? Whenever we win the ball and a Swansea player looks up to counter attack, Lowe is AWOL.
Whenever he's played into space he slows the attack down and eventually panics and loses the ball.
I know it's exciting to see us play with wingers again however let's not pretend he's playing to an acceptable standard. He's been very poor out wide too. He's just getting more of the ball in their half compared to when he was played down the middle.
That’s what he does

It's not though, is it? That's why it's his first goal in 18 games after missing countless other chances. One, two or even three goals in a few weeks doesn't change the fact we're a less effective team when he plays as striker.

36 year old Wayne Routledge is showing Jamal Lowe how you can operate effectively as an attacker by simply controlling the football, lifting your head, spotting a fellow attacker and passing them the ball.
Yeah I noticed.
Idiot

Low on confidence.
This changes things.
Another run of games angryjack can decide he’s good again then. He’s been poorly managed imo but when he’s on it he’s class

Fair play to Jamal. He's worked hard today and deserved that. Kept plugging away, without much success, but it came good eventually. Hopefully can go on a bit of a streak now.
