Swansea (H) - Tuesday 2nd - 19:45 (7 Viewers)

[Reppz]

Dabo is the most one-dimensional attacking wingback I've ever seen. Couple of step-overs, drop a shoulder, run down the line and put a dogshit cross in. It worked in League One but it has been completely useless this season and last. Get Kane in next game.

How long is Waggy out for ?

 

[Nick]

Or the players he put trust in did not deliver on the night. Poor all round for me.

That's why you change it

 

[shmmeee]

Don’t agree at all with not looking interested, looks like a lack of sharpness to me.. whether we’re knackered or what I don’t know, we were well on top in the 2nd half but couldn’t find any cutting edge and ended up almost trying too hard & getting frustrated.

As for trends- that’s going to happen at some stage, hopefully this is our bad patch

There was a weird flat energy around the ground first half and that included the players. Lacking sharpness as well, but not enough closing after we’d proved it was fruitful.

Think it would be fair that if strikers are tired, I think both Godden and Gyok are, then why not give Tavares a place on the bench on Saturday?

To what though? Had nothing in terms of impact players on the bench really. Jones in theory but he looks miles off.

Or maybe dare to use Walker for more than a minute

imagine if Hyam played like JCS what the reaction would be tonight? Instead people are going at Dabo and Godden

That is why I said poor all round

Shocking from Robins tonight

Why what did he do wrong

Was beginning to feel like the only one on here who didn’t think JCS was brilliant.

What did he do right is the more fitting question.

I am not convinced by him at all. Far too casual.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Because MR never uses his squad. He didn't last season either then moaned when we were knackered

Fair point but when walker scores 2 in 2 gets dropped and then comes on in the 89tb minute you have to question something

Yes, MR is running his favorites into the ground I am afraid. Gyo and O'Hare seem to be running on fumes. O'Hare's "shot" amounted to nothing more than a soft pass back to their goalkeeper. Honestly we don't have a very big squad. We need to rotate Rose and Kane in. Walker lost his place after scoring 2 goals in 2 games which makes no sense. We are desperately clinging on to 4th place, but we are starting fade. Something has to change.

Easy to say after being gifted 2 goals after 15 minutes

 

[larry_david]

Yep needs a big change next game.

 

[Evo1883]

They were certainly gifted 1

There’s a thin line between looking composed and casual. Lately JCS has looked sloppy to me and invited danger.

 

[Great_Expectations]

I want Jones to come good - both from a sentimental perspective, but more importantly as we need an alternative to COH. But I don’t think I was watching the same as some of you tonight. Granted there was a nice turn and perhaps one decent run, but he looked slow/nervy on the ball and rusty - both understandable by the way - so he needs some serious game time.

It was a bizzare sub. I assume he was brought on for his pace, but he neither played on the last man or got the ball in space/positions to really run at them. He ended up playing a more traditional type AM role which doesn’t suit his game.

I actually think, at least for a period, MR did spot the weakness as at times we had 4/5 men right on there high back line (it was like the Mowbray days before it all went wrong) but for some reason the balls never came.

That answer suggests you don’t know what he did wrong. Give me some examples don’t just come out with statements you can’t back up.

Tbh I take a bit of light in some of their fans saying we’re the best they’ve played so far.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Both really it's terrible defending even overlooking that the 2nd is as offside as it comes. Followed by that same terrible decision making in the final third.

Should never have lost that tonight, bitterly disappointing on top of the 5 points chucked away the other week

Indeed, like I said earlier I just don't buy it that they're some top side

 

[larry_david]

First one jcs 'cleared' it with as much conviction as o hares shot on goal. And Moore was weak too.

Second one came from godden being out muscled as he tried to chest it down in their area and then jcs and maatsen were caught out.

Both piss poor in their own way.

Find that quite hard to believe really

He's created danger

 

[Earlsdon-Loyal-Blue]

I’m a big fan of COH but I’m a bit worried about his deteriorating passing and decision making in the oppositions half. We all know the goals aren't really there with him but he needs to contribute in assists. 0 goals and 0 assists after 16 games - we need more from COH.

I mean the second was offside no doubt about it

Got the tactics wrong from the start which saw us 2-0 down after 12 minutes and then failed to change anything until the 70th minute where he made the baffling decision to completely cede the midfield to them and bring on Jones who has barely played for three years. Then sat on his hands until the 89th minute and pointlessly brought Walker on way too late.

So, what did he do right?

Well they are saying it tbf

He has 3 assists I think

I agree. As good as it is to be able to play a settled side you have to accept that the players will need a rest at times. Rotating in the likes of Kane, Rose and Walker/Waghorn is going to be necessary if you want the players to maintain the standard of intensity required over the whole season.

I wonder if the analytics is showing that the players are keeping up the same performance but it just seems more laboured than earlier in the season like they're really having to push themselves to keep it up.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

He wasn’t great tonight but Jones hung out to dry by his manager. Hasn’t integrated him this season and expects him to turn a game for us

Well said. That's how you develop a squad by slowly integrating different parts and pieces into the mix. Haven't seen Waggy either lately. You cannot stubbornly stick to the same 11 (with minimal like for like for like changes late in the game or using players who have no experience playing with each other) and expect different results. The Swansea team started the season slow, but is building momentum and climbing the table. Today they played well for the first 20 minutes, effectively protected their lead and we could not lay a glove on them other than Fadz' goal which was frustrating.

 

[Tommo1993]

I’m on the fence. We made them uncomfortable at times but didn’t threaten properly. We pressured but as ever the final ball gets worse each game.
