MATCHWATCH : Swansea City (h)

[paultheroyal]

My bite size contribution.

Paul Ince is working miracles.
Real togetherness in the team. Something lacking for years.
Fans get behind the players, meite in particular and large sections stayed at final whistle.
Hendrick does the ugly things well.
Loum had a ooor game.
Loving Lumley but if opposition can you would hate him.
Ince best signing in years. Deserved mom.
Closely followed by Holmes and Carroll.

Brilliant 3 points - good night.

Very happy with that. Swansea are a good side.

Ps stop flirting with the play-offs, I don’t want to go up/ go through Wembley again.

Rarely make it easy for ourselves do we? the subs were poor, what is the point of defending with no outlet? surely NGW instead of baba

agreed, we were devoid of anything and everything on the left in their half once Meite went off.

Maybe at 2-0 up, the Baba introduction was made deliberately to make it that way

Good point. Lots of criticism of Yaks tonight but he keeps the opposition on their toes and we were weaker after he went off.

Teams breaking their play-off curses recently, first Brentford, then Forest.

2021 - Brentford
2022 - Forest
2023 - Reading?

[From Despair To Where?]

Excellent win. Maybe not the best performance but we would have lost that game in any of the last 5 or 6 seasons. It's not pretty but we've got a bit of fight in us and sets us up well for a tricky run of fixtures.

[Jackson Corner]

Swansea played some nice passing football but the 2nd goal sums up why I am so pleased we have ditched that playing from the back rubbish. Looks nice when it comes off. But give me hit it long down the channels and set play goals any day. Who cares if you dominate possession at the end of the day it’s all about the results.

He tried his best as always but he kept losing the ball, often deep in our half

Fair points on the contributions to the goals though

The tightness of this division means everyone from 16th is flirting with the play-offs - we're 8th and closer to the bottom 3 than 2nd.

I hate to ruin a perfectly good present worrying about the future, but can you imagine the number of points gained next season if that were to happen ?

[Franchise FC]

It’ll clearly never happen, but if PInce gets us into the playoffs he should be a shoe in for manager of the year

[Royals and Racers]

Wales on-line reported that the young fan in the Swansea end fainted and is ok.

We'd probably have to go on a Forest style recruitment drive - they may well drop but they are competitive

Good to hear

[Royals and Racers]

Paul Ince post match was obviously not happy with Meite`s penalty miss- he said something like - he has to hit the target. We have proven penalty takers in the team and he won`t take another !!

In the unlikely event that did happen, could it be argued to be a greater achievement than the 106?

Not for me because 106 was record breaking with a bang average team. However it worked with guile and fight and a whole lot more.

This however would pip McDermott.

I'm not sure that would be the consensus

Loum had a poor game but produced the challenge that created our second, and as it turned out, winning goal. Bizarrely, BBC Sport, who clearly don't bother to watch the game properly, claim Benda kicked the ball straight to Ince!
