Maybe send this over to the Brentford lot

A good performance against an excellent side who edged it with that bit of quality.

Probably one of the best sides ive watched this season to be fair.

Onwards we go.

Clinical finishing was the difference today. Although our decent run of results has come to an end it was still a decent performance against a top side. Heads didn't drop after going 2 - 0 down and we almost got back into it at 3 - 1.

Don't feel too down because I think we can keep the momentum going in terms of form, just one of those where we were absolutely punished. You'd normally have to fork out for that kind of treatment, or so I've heard....

We played a quality side today, Millers fans disappointed not getting anything out of the game, but we saw positives in, Giles showing what a prospect he is, coming into the game, a good attacking wing back, then Ladapo getting a goal, will boost his confidence.
Not many teams will take points from Swansea this season, they are a well organised team.

Swansea had more class, played the ball about well and their finishing was ruthless. Absolutely no doubt they deserved to win that game but we had them rocking a bit at 1-2 and who knows what would have happened if the effort that hit the bar had gone in.
Nothing to get too down about, we didn't get thrashed and competed throughout in a game we probably expected to lose in all honesty.

If only we had the class and clinical prowess of Swansea...

Fact is we haven’t and that was the difference today.

Proud of how we played and completely happy to lose to a very classy side.

No complaints about the resulty. As I said in the matchthread they are probably 3 or 4 players off being a Prem team.
 
I thought Rotherham did really well. Caused us more problems than many and only our clinical finished saw them off.
 
Rotherham have caused a few of the big boys trouble this season. Happy to come away with the 3 points when you look at the 3-0 hiding they gave Middlesbrough in midweek

They deservedly won and did it without the help of diving and cheating

Christ don’t let the Brentford fans see that!

:lol: I thought the same thing - can you imagine their reaction...

In fact I may even test that one on Twitter...

Should stir them up a little on a Sunday morning...

You are a bad man Phil 👿
 
I thought Rotherham was a very difficult side to play against. Chased and intercepted all afternoon, making it very difficult to play our brand of football against them. I think Ayew is relieved not to have two, sometimes three opposition players in close proximity today. They knew the danger man and made a good job of negating him.
