    Very sluggish.

    Austin is far from match fit. He can be a danger but only if we are getting crosses in, which we weren't for 44 mins of that half.

    It's OK, we're attacking towards the Saints fans in the 2nd half. Cedric to score

    Yep that’s how I see it. I’m hoping they tire a bit so we get a little more time.

    Ok, I know how to win the game. It just involves making 7 substitutions...

    We look short in midfield. I would risk taking a central defender off and add a midfielder like Prowsy.

    Really odd, looks as if Austin has been instructed to sit deep and hold play up to lay off to Redmond and Tadic. Unfortunately he looks really poor on the ball and has only really threatened as a target-man. The few times he had possession he looked really uncomfortable.

    I know they are bad, but no point changing defenders around. Austin is not doing enough, so get Long on early im the half. The way Swansea are pushing up he should get three or four chances at one on ones he can miss.

    Not me! I have kittens every time Hoedt gets on the ball, and he had a hell of a lot of it during that minute lol

    What was there to be gained from going forward there? There was a far greater chance of us losing the ball than creating a clear chance. They did the right thing there.

    Their extra man in midfield is hurting us. This is the least fun match I've ever watched.

    Man City must be watching this and ****ting themselves about not reaching 100 points.

    Tempted to put Long on. Thinking about a Gabbi with something to prove. Wondering if JWP would make a difference.

    I don’t envy Sparky right now.

    We can do this though. COYR!!!

    At the moment, we will be relegated in 45 mins. Get that in your head.

    They look very nervy but our cbs have restricted them to half chances while we have had balls in behind for good chances I'm more worried about our DM's getting sent off when we press.
