genome Well, I'm glad no-one has reacted to the result by throwing a hissy fit.

I'm a bit meh to be honest. Hadn't even realised how poor we have been results wise. Thought there was some good play tonight and lots to be positive about in the squad.

We are entitled to, that game was shocking and post lockdown has been shocking on the whole.

What is wrong with you lot?

That was a very good Swansea side and we were a man short.

Apart from the first few minutes, I thought we were great

Olise is a fantastic player

What a nightmare! Letting Swansea in the playoffs. Cheap as f’ing chips, we are. Bah.

Olise needs to learn to shoot. Fantastic prospect though.

Complete and utter bollocks. Are all people with the word "Snow" in their username clueless?

NewCorkSeth Think we should all appreciate the job Michael O'Neill has done at Stoke btw. A manager I have long admired and put at the top of the list for our vacant spot.


Don't be silly we, we don't appoint managers anymore, just newbies and chancers.
Taking on an experienced manager is too leftfield for the club.

To be honest I could well see the owners moving Bowen back upstairs but something irks me about sacking a manager without a full transfer window and pre-season, and frankly I'm sick of sacking managers

Yeah fantastic. What about the past 445 minutes in which we have failed to score at home, penalties aside. Truly woeful.

Thought Swansea did a job on us second half. We looked fine until the their second goal and then we fell to pieces.

Swift looked like he's going, which is a real shame, but I would understand that he wants to go and prove himself in the Prem. Only real shining performances were Olise who was amazing. I'd not be surprised if a bigger team came looking for him. If I were the owners I'd sort the future of Bowen out ASAP. If we can keep Swift, I'd build my midfield around him, Olise and Ejaria.

I'd let Moore go, he was tosh tonight and looks like his head has been turned. I don't understand why he was playing at DM, because the game passed him by so much.

If someone could post up the post-match interview, I'd be grateful for that.

Old Man Andrews Bowen will get sacked and it will be fully deserved. We are a disgrace.


Move him back to DoF and get Hughton or Ainsworth.


Why would either of them come? All well and good saying go and get this person and that person, but they actually have to want the job first.

Wycombe are a well run club punching above their weight, but we have more potential. It's like when Pardew left us for West Ham, even though we were above them in the table at the time. They can't compete with us

As per my comment above, I'd like us to actually appoint a manager in the first place.

Same. Absolutely with you on that. Posted about it earlier today. I get the complaints about performances and lack of identity and even that it seems we play without any sort of plan but we can't keep sacking over and over again can we?

I didn’t think we deserved to lose 4-1, but I don’t think we were great. Didn’t play terribly but probably didn’t deserve a point either.

Agree about Olise, thought that was the best he looked since the restart, should’ve done better with his chance at the end though.

If we were losing with some kind of fight and passion or losing but playing nice football and creating chances I'd be fine with Bowen being given the summer but we aren't, not even close.

There is no way Ainsworth is leaving them after taking them to the second tier for the first time without a ball being kicked.

We had 19 shots, 6 on target playing 50 minutes with ten men
against a side which made the play-offs.

This game made me feel good about next season.
