Gonna say it. Sheaf has looked better than Kelly this game. I was wrong.

Range of passing with both feet, gets box to box too, likes a tackle. A lot to like about him and going to keep getting better.

[David O'Day]

a good but strangely disappointing result

 

[lordy_87]

Østigård has to come in for Rose next game. He's been poor

 

[AOM]

Would have taken a point before kick off, but feels like 2 points dropped really.
Don't think one or two of our subs would ever have played tonight

 

[mark82]

Good performance but definitely feels like 2 points dropped right now.

 

[skyblueinBaku]

A point against a side in the playoff places. That's OK.

 

[Briles]

Good point, should've been more. We dealt with the press a lot better. Seems teams tire against us in the latter stages after pressing so hard. Need to capitalise on that.

 

[Skybluefaz]

Much better from us against a decent Swansea side

 

[jordan210]

It still annoys me we are not making a 3rd sub. Baka could have done a job for 10 mins

 

[steveo1987]

Good point although we really could have won..

 

[Hobo]

Good draw against a very good side. We were slightly better side and looked more likely.

We can take confidence from that. Still need to be a bit sharper in our basic passing.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Proud of that performance. A lot of big performances out there tonight. C O'H could have won it for us and it didn't run for him tonight, but he still put in a shift. Sheaf, McCallum really good. Back 3 looked leggy towards the end but then picked up again.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Should have won the game really. We settled for the draw and tried to nick the win, would have been nice to be a bit braver but can understand wanting to stop the rot

 

[CCFCSteve]

Great point although deserved all three

 

[Liquid Gold]

I hope we don’t end up looking back at games like this come the end of the season.

 

[Johnnythespider]

A decent point, but a game we could have won, hopefully a confidence booster for the team

 

[clint van damme]

Still things to work on but there's also a lot of positives from tonight.
Kelly back, improved performances from Sheaf and Allen, Shipley looked dangerous, Sam had a very good game apart from the goal.
We're 18th in the table.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Would have taken a point at the start of play but we could have scored a handful today. Some bad finishing. Also, why doesn’t Robins make any attacking subs?

It was great to have Kelly back in the team. He has the old head and class to keep things ticking.

At least it stops a losing steak. Hopefully the players take some confidence from that.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

We need to be more ruthless in front of goal. This is not a new problem.

The good news is that it was something that got better over the course of last season, so we can do it this one too. A much better problem to have than not turning off and letting in two or three stupid goals.

This game is good progress, even if it feels like we should have won all things considered.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Much better tonight, Sheaf, Shipley and McCallum the standouts.

 

[fatso]

That should do the boys a power of good, They now know they can compete with anyone.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

We’d all have taken it beforehand but really really should’ve won. Doubt they’d have missed the same chances

 

[procdoc]

Kelly made a huge difference when he came on. Calming influence

 

[Evo1883]

Very happy with that although really we had the chances to win the game... Swansea one of the better sides in the league and we matched them... Also an interesting passing stat from today

 

[Sick Boy]

Great performance and should have got 3 points

 

[superskyblue]

Chuffed for Sheaf. Good performance from him. Hyam the weak link as usual

 

[Mr Panda]

Good point but disappointed we didn't win in the end given the chances, looked more likely than Swansea.

Our game calmed and looked more assured as Kelly came on. Thought Sheaf was fine today.

O'Hare will be disappointed not to have a couple.

Didn't get replays on the red button so didn't see if the Allen goal should have stood.

So much better in all, we looked like we believed a little more in ourselves, each time the ball went into their box with purpose we looked like we could do something.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Østigård has to come in for Rose next game. He's been poor

Coming back from a long injury. We know he's a good player. Only games will get him there. Maybe alternate with Ostigard with all these midweek games.

 

[skybluepm2]

Brilliant point City, although arguably could’ve and should’ve been more. Matched Swansea in all areas tonight, we can more than compete at this level.

Let’s take confidence and get behind the lads. Far too much doom and gloom on here over the past few days. Realize where we’ve come from, what and who we are competing with, take the rough with the smooth and that Robins and Adi know what they’re doing. PUSB.

 

[no_loyalty]

Disappointed not to get the three points with the amount of chances we had at the end, Swansea were there for the taking.

 

[ccfcway]

Absolutely delighted with tonight. Competed v a very decent team with a striker on prob more wages than our squad combined.

Loved the effort and we could have won it at the end.

PUSB !!

 

[David O'Day]

Anyway surely Ayew should be self isolating? He's been away on international with his brother who has tested positive. Are we meant to believe he didn't spend any time with his brother?

 

[PVA]

A good performance, just lacking the finish on a couple of easy chances. We'll be OK this season.

People need to realise the players haven't turned to shit, the negativity the last week or two has been embarrassing.

 

[lordy_87]

Chuffed for Sheaf. Good performance from him. Hyam the weak link as usual

Not Rose?

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Much better tonight, Sheaf, Shipley and McCallum the standouts.

I got cross with Shippers for getting shrugged off the ball, but it was just before he went off injured, so I'll assume it was down to that and forgive him!
