We're above Millwall who also have 7 points.
The Guardian has us in 3rd in their table. |
We have more goals for than Millwall |  |

I believe WBA top us by virtue of more goals scored away from home (which is not difficult!). It's pretty far down the list of tie-breakers. |  | | |

That's not the game i watched,unless you only saw the first half.
Second half was like a different team, think the Byers for Kalulu substitution made the difference.
Disappointed with Bidwell first half, much better second half. Same could be said for Celina too |
We can't carry on being a second half team. Preston could and should have put at least three passed us in the first half. |  |

A really poor performance overall, barring a couple of pockets of good play in the second half.
Bidwell, despite his assist, is a poor player.
Fulton can't be starting.
Byers yet again shows his class and why he should start.
Kalulu disappointing. |
The first half was painful to watch, picking out the worst Swans player would be difficult, but fair play to Bidwell, he made a real effort to be that man. |  |

The major difference I noticed in the second half was that we were much better on the transition. In the first half it stopped us getting out because we kept on giving the ball away - Dyer once, in particular, sticks in the mind. In the second half, Byers and Ayew were excellent on the transition and we looked more dangerous as a result. | | | |

Connor Roberts was by some distance the worst player in our back line, but obviously it's Bidwell. |  |

For the sake of balance I'm going to say van der Hoorn was awful in the first half as well. No help to young Joe on the ball, not sure he won a header. Escapes criticism by virtue of not doing anything.
Woodman sliced a punch behind him for a corner somehow. Poor half all round. | | | |

Bidwell set up the winner and didn't give away a moronic penalty.
This just proves the point I made the other day. Bidwell isn't a great player, but he's not a bad one either. However, his very averageness will make him a target even when he doesn't deserve to be, like today. | |

Would like to see Byers get an extended chance at 10 right now. He may not look as fancy or as classy as some but I don't see a lot of end product from the likes of Celina atm |  | | |

Lost cohesion when Dwyer went off. Ayew came on bossing Bidwell but then started moving across the park leaving him exposed. Kalulu also started to lose positional sense putting pressure on Roberts which PNE exploited. Second half George had to be brought on to give some structure, plus Cooper must have told Ayew stay right side and Celina left. We looked a much better shape then.
Well...that's my sixpenny worth. | | | |

What was he thinking there??? No better nor worse than we already had. But to try to punch in that situation???? He’s young, not played regularly at this level, but that choice was just bizarre | | | |

Dreadful first half with our midfield non-existent and when they did appear it was to give away possession.
Van der Hoorn was decent in the first half and excellent in the second.
Joe couldn't buy a pass and his confidence looked shot. But again it didn't help that there was no one working to make a pass, Bidwell spent more time running away from the ball than to it.
Once again Grimes failed to turn up and maybe it's time to give Horn the arm band. |  |

Was opposite him when that happened. Only say in his defence was he was looking directly into the sun when going for the ball. | | | |

Not sure on that one, I was in the east and the ball came over quite low. Giving him the benefit at the moment, there is potential there and he’s obviously highly rated but there have been a few decisions he’s made that have baffled me. Getting to know a new team, strengths & weaknesses etc all are valid excuses at this point in the season, but still uncertain of him. | | | |

I don't understand the criticism he gets.. he's a fullback that defends well.. he's not great going forward, but he did get an assist today | |

I thought we started well, fella, heads dropped when we conceded from a wicked deflection. Need a big presence in the middle of the pitch to drive us on. It'll come, hopefully from within. | |
