Felt like it should have been more comfortable than a dodgy penalty (Hurray!!) to win it. We gave up a bit after that. Promising signs, but three things I hope for next season. 1) When facing forward in space, go forward. We did it some times and we looked so different. 2) No more back to Vig to hoof possession away when we already have possession on halfway thank you and 3) calm down and keep the ball away from the centre backs.

All in all though, I thought that was a good display, especially away, and a deserved 3 points, with us getting the breaks for once. Eom was superb when he came on.

Oh 4) don't bring on players that weaken the team when making subs, thanks muchly.

If I was gonna be picky then it'd the not turning enough to go forward as you said. Yalcouye does this the best alongside Eom. Think we will keep seeing the hoof ball, but might change if we get better at the back with passing.

Accurate reporting from W.o.l.

This could be said to be duff gen.

Absolutely agree if we can sustain ourselves with the money from him.

Not sure we’ll get as much as we may imagine though to be honest.

I agree that we won't get that much of a fee for Galbraith.

Who is going to buy him?

I don't see a Premier League club coming in for him, maybe a top half championship team.

Oh wait a minute that's us already.

Keep the central midfielders together, assuming we lose Yalcouye then we have Galbraith, Franco, Walta and Widdell with Stamenic and Fulton for the physicality.

That's a decent group.

Wolves. I can see them buying him for 5m. Just feeling.

No chance we'd sell him at that price

OK 7m

Just got back from the game. Great to see us outperform a team in a similar league position to us. And incredible turnout from the Swans supporters despite the tube strike - put the home fans to shame. Looking forward to Norwich on Saturday.

How many Swans fans was there in the end?

Allocation was 1,700 and the away end looked to be 95% full from where I was standing

Fair play. Fantastic turn out.

Special mention tonight for Jay Fulton. Whatever Matos has done with him - he is playing some of the best football of his career.

I think hoofball is slightly harsh. We do have a tendency to do it if pressed but then again how often would we conceded under Martin etc by trying to keep it in those situations.

A ball playing cb next year instead of burgess and we'll be a different team. Parker nails down the rb slot with key/lissah as cover.

Keep the midfield together, new rw, striker and cb with the vip money (and another winger and lb potentially on loan) and we can challenge top 6.

Pretty much nailed for 10th now, matos has done a terrific job despite my grumbles

Then again, with inoussa and Congreve back and widdel looking equally good out wide, I don't think we need another back up winger
