Swansea City v Ipswich Town : Match day thread on 17:05 - Feb 17 with 1947 views | union_jack | It was a spirited performance in parts but if LW isn’t worried, he should be. Good subs, blowing my re-match prediction out of the water. Probably deserved a point due to effort but if you don’t score, you don’t win. I suppose it’s playing more sides in ‘our league’ from now on but I wouldn’t put Ipswich as a top 4 side. They’ll make the POs but the side out of the three that doesn’t go up automatically, will win the POs. | ![](/images/avatars/8799.gif) |

Naughton was our best player in many ways. Tymon was also fantastic. | ![](/images/avatars/8799.gif) |

Swansea City v Ipswich Town : Match day thread on 17:39 - Feb 17 with 1756 views | Dr_Winston | A better performance overall. Not enough chances created and we're still dithering far too much in the final third (the chances we had and spurned to get an early ball in or shot off were plentiful) but way better than in the week. Helped that we had two midfielders trying to do different jobs instead apeing one another. Two weak goals conceded again though. Darling can't come back to full fitness quickly enough, and even then that might not cut it. A bigger deal really should have been made of Notts County's defensive record this season before Williams was appointed. Leaking goals for fun was a feature of the Martin years and so far it's been the same under his protege. | ![](/images/avatars/8802.gif) |

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, we don’t have first class defenders admittedly but we have a far worse defence. How much time have the opposition in the last few games had to score against us. If we experienced such largesse from our opponents just once in a season I’d think it was Christmas! We need to build this team on a strong, or at least stronger defensive unit. Cut out the generosity and build from there. | ![](/images/avatars/8799.gif) |

Good assessment. The starting selection was flawed and that which ended the game far better. Surely now,the auks has to be given a good run. He looked a nuisance if nothing else . Yates time should be spent on bench . Naughton did indeed play well in the circumstances . It’s a shame the curse in our centre backs still remains . We do not need to commit harikari to get results and it is now all about results. Any finer plans Williams gas can be shelved until we are safe which might not be for some time . | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

I've made this point before, but if Garry Monk can play an important role in a defence capable of getting promoted out of this division then there's no reason why any of our incumbents can't. They're playing a high line which leaves us wide open at the back to the quick ball through or an error, both of which cost us today. We need to keep it simple there, not reinvent the wheel to prove how clever our coaches are. | ![](/images/avatars/8802.gif) |

I’m not sure what your last line is saying? They won’t sack him but he’ll know as well as anyone else that it’s a results business. He’s failing on that marker. Injuries have played a part but tactically we are naive. We need to be more pragmatic in our approach in order to get the points needed. Then, as you say, back him in the summer and see what happens then. | ![](/images/avatars/8799.gif) |

Swansea City v Ipswich Town : Match day thread on 17:59 - Feb 17 with 1597 views | Treforys_Jack | Improved performance but nil points again. Too slow to get forward and players unwilling to take a shot on. I rarely critisise officials, but the ref and the linesman in front of the East stand were shockingly bad. Oh and Yates is bloody awful. | ![](/images/avatars/8863.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

The simple answer to that is an element of our fan base is up there amongst the dumbest, meanwhile next seasons Swansea v Wrexham league one encounters become closer to reality. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

It is basic proof that managers or players can earn themselves a hell of a lot of leeway by spouting stuff that the supporters will lap up like cats, but dare to suggest that a Derby game is worth the same amount of points as any other and you're marked for life. They've loved snake oil salesmen down here for decades. You only have to witness the man crushes some people still have on Martinez for confirmation of that. | ![](/images/avatars/8802.gif) |

So , if my opinion is, that I think performances (if not results) are improving on the whole then I'm among the dumbest, cheers for that 👍 | ![](/images/avatars/8863.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

the fan base have to stop having a go at Luke then hopefully the owners won't have a knee jerk reaction Luke has had 6 games with most of those against the tip3 sides. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Pleased it is not just me that can't fathom this. The three substitutions in the second half which included Patino resulted in a vast improvement. Quality of forward passing was in a different league. I wish Swansea would start with their best players. I also think Ronald would be much better used in a more central position. Playing him within 2 inches of the touch line is a waste of a great talent. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
