Tough game... would have taken the point before the game but not at halftime. We were thoroughly outclassed but earned a point. The goalie mistake and handball curse goes the other way. I'm more numb than anything else - but we're out of the drop zone!

I think brian oxf*rd up should have played 1 up front and plugged the midfield with 3 in the middle when we were 2-1 up

Second best all around the pitch today. I really hate to say it, but we really didn't "deserve" the point. Not much positive I can say about today...

Well except that if we can play that poorly away..

Did Brian not see that Tabb was practically hobbling at the end. Get him off 20 minutes earlier and we would have had energy. As it was he brought on Alfie. Very strange. Uncharacteristically bad management from Brian in my opinion. It's very rare but that was definitely an example of it.

URZZZZZZZZ You negative pcunts.

You have to expect to be under pressure when playing away in the Premier League, a draw prior to today would've been a good result. It's the home form/results that we need a bit of a bit of a break in. If we have a Newcastle performance vs Fulham we'll have 3 points.



Swansea had 25 shots! :shock:

That is some pressure. If we have to endure that against teams such as Swansea it really doesn't bode well.

JimmytheJim doom mongers!

a draw at swansea is a good achievement. had chances to nick it at the end too.

we will be outplayed many times this season, if we can get something out of it every now and then that would be great.

same thing happened last season, and look where it got us.


It's not when you've given away a 2-0 lead.

Woeful performance. COMPLETELY outplayed (save for just 5 mins at the end). Don't let a 2-2 draw away fool anyone - continue like this and we'll be down by February.

winchester_royal McDermott's decisions in the 2nd half cost us two massive points there.

Unbe-fcuking-lievable that he didn't change anything in the midfield until there were 3 minutes left.

Midfield were absent for the majority, i dont think that the back 4 completed a pass all day! Amac looked class, alf looked lively when he came on and gorks had spells, apart that ery few positives to take from today! onward and upwards in brian we trust!

Thank fuk we had McCarthy and Swansea can't shoot, otherwise it would have been about 7-2 and both of ours were total gifts. We were absolutely terrible for 80 minutes of that game. McDermott just watched second half as we were totally over-run and Swansea got chance after chance after chance.

A point is a travesty for Swansea.

Why the fuk we didn't drop a striker and bring on Guthrie to pad out midfield I have no idea. It's not like we had any chances for 43 of the 45 minutes of normal time second half. No tracking runs from one twos, Gorkss poor again.

Very very angry, once we took a, frankly undeserved, 2 goal lead we had to win. And we just gave the game back to Swansea.

Pressure? We've been blown off the park, come on.


Yet we've come away with a point.

Cheer up you bastards.
