    Sloppy defending Galbraith sold himself trying to pinch it and Tymon should never have let that run past him

    No arguments about the side Widell had only just recovered from injury so a second game in 2 days was going to be a bit of a tough ask for him Nunes was immensely disappointing on Saturday Look forward to seeing the lads put in a performance

    Vipotnik Goals

    The number of times we beat a press, move it out quickly to the wide men and then they stop letting every opposing player get back into position rather than using the momentum to drive past the full back and get into the box for either a shooting opportunity or a cut back to the penalty spot is...

    Ref Watch

    Indeed there has to be referee discretion, if a player goes down unchallenged or there is no contact then off ya go mate. But if a player takes one down the achilles his team shouldn't have to play a man down for a minute if the ref didn't book him. Then again that caveat has been in the game...

    Ref Watch

    Saw that FIFA is going to green light for players coming off if requiring treatment to be increased to 1 minute. They wanted 2 minutes but had a lot of pushback. Also subs have 10 seconds to leave the pitch or their side will not be allowed to bring on the other player until the next break in...

    Matos appreciation thread

    We would probably have to take somewhere between 25 and 30 points from the last 39 on offer to have a shout at the playoffs. Matos isn't far off 2 points per game but there is a difference between getting performances when there is no pressure to get points and when the carrot of the playoffs...

    Play offs..

    It is reassuring to be looking up the table rather than down it with the games left facing us. Lissah and Congreve have by all accounts had excellent loans and I suspect they will come in to add genuine competition and shouts for the starting roles at right back and right wing respectively We...

    Play offs..

    Just more composure and better decision making in attacking positions The Derby game we could and arguably should have been one or two goals up at half time but we failed to make the most of five or six really high quality attacking chances You can also look at the Coventry away game, Hull...

    Play offs..

    I agree it is unlikely, as I highlighted before we have possibly the hardest run in for the final 13 games of every team still in with a shout at the playoffs. We play four of the current top 6 and eight of the top 12 The challenges in the summer would be trying to keep some of our star...

    Play offs..

    I would gladly take a season of being bent over and railed in the Premier League week in week out for the financial reset after coming straight back down the season after.

    Play offs..

    Of the 13 games we have left to play only four of those are against teams arguably not in with a shout of sneaking in to the play offs during the run in (Leicester, Portsmouth, Norwich and Charlton). The other nine games are all against teams within 7 points of the playoffs and feasibly capable...

    Play offs..

    It's certainly possible but we will have to go into it in one hell of a run of form to make it The positive note is that no team will fancy coming to the swansea.com with our current home form and many of our promotion rivals still have to play against us meaning that as much as anything else...

    While not every player will rack up goals and/or assists to say that measuring a player by them is horseshit is equally foolhardy. Strikers can do very little in a game but if they are getting a goal every other game and consistently turning draws into wins and losses into draws then that is...

    Its worth pointing out Widell's influence on Vipotnik's goal. He was the one who ran the channel and recovered the ball from a pass over the top that Nunes didn't really bother with, he held off the defender and played it to Nunes who put in the cross.

    I had been looking forward to Nunes getting a start with Ronald on the bench, but Nunes I thought was poor. His only real contribution today was the cross into the box that their own defender headed under pressure straight to Vipotnik for him to volley in from five yards. I didn't see any of...

    I would give him a 6 or a 7, probably a 6.5 He has a different issue to Ronald, he is good at making a yard of space but has become obsessed lately with trying the cut in and curler to the point where most teams now rightly expect it rather than have to worry about him going to the byline and...

    Its mostly because it seems that Matos does not believe in the existence of draws. Only one draw in 17 :LOL:

    I think unless my math is wrong he has taken 28 points from 45 on offer since he took over It shows just how bad our form had been before he took the job
