Everything suggests we wiped the floor with Blackpool in all bar score, yet only one player averaged above 7 in WoL fans MoM scores. http://www.walesonline.co.uk/footba...-man-of-the-match-v-blackpool-91466-29455596/ What will the score be like if we have a bad game?
Jack in peace and desperation to talk football as there is **** all of that going on over in our board. Was chatting to my mate in work today, avid bluebird, was at the game in Blackpool. He said that your boys were outstanding and the only thing any Blackpool player did all game was Phillips for 30 seconds where he decided to ping the ball in from 25 yards :/ Just one of those days where you play really well but just cant score...believe me i know all about that lol
hey dan, happy to talk footie. been guilty myself of being dragged into some rubbish talk. keeping my head down and leaving others get on with it. all for a bit of banter, but some of it is getting silly. I said on another thread, teams want every point they can get, but if you can maintain good performances, goals and wins will come as you showed against WBA. I think we are getting better as a team and MM is still working out the best way to utilise what he has got. From your mates perspective, as from everything else I saw and heard, we battered Blackpool, so why the low ratings for players?
All the boys I spoke to were very happy with the performance and thought we should have had the win, but a draw away is not to be sniffed at. Nice to see the players once again acknowledge the fans. We have now what we didn't have last season, a team that plays till the whistle goes! you can't ask for more than that. We haven't the quality of last season but it's being made up by the determination shown by the players we do have.
Indeed a draw is not to be sniffed at. I can not imagine too many teams leaving Blackpool with even 1 point this season. Great performance by all accounts and a good result
Much appreciate your thoughts Thai, but sorry, it WAS a great performance, but a bad result - we should have won it. Nothing can alter the fact that a combination of poor finishing on our part and a single super-strike from Philips denied us all three points. The much-lauded work ethic principle is so different from last season and so satisfying to behold, but we need some flair in the team to win games like that. I trust the next fortnight we'll see a move in that direction.
I accept it is frustrating when a team can play so well and not get all the spoils - Us Canaries know it only too well after our game with Stoke this season. Alas football is a funny old game with teams not always getting what they deserve.
I noticed last season that we were getting some random low ratings on some games. Think its a case that the papers don't actually send people to games outside the premiership and must view a highlights reel or something and base their ratings on that as they no way reflect what actually happens over 90 mins. Yeah we will be fine...hopefully lol. I have convinced myself we are going to win 2-1 on the weekend @ Chelsea haha. With Fulham taking them to penalties and Cech going off @ half time (no idea why, maybe injured) all we got to hope for is for them to have an offday From what i have seen i agree with your assessment that you are now playing as a team. With so many changes over the summer its a testament to your manager and backroom staff that you are playing coherently as a team. I think its the most important thing in that league to get promoted. Look at Boro and Leicester. Spent loads for a Championship side and only now Boro are starting to play well for the money they spend and Leicester are still too inconsistent in patches. Saying that they appear to have been playing well the last 2 games which adds value to a good result against them for your boys tonight.
Tbh anything you get from the top 4 or 5 teams, especially away from home has to be seen as an unexpected bonus for the Swans, your premiership survival depends on you repeating results like the good win you had against WBA last week, I don't think you will get a stuffing, and hope that you don't as it could wreck the confidence that has been built up by the WBA victory. IMO home form is going to be the key for the Swans, if you continue to build on the WBA victory, and can pick up the odd few points away then you should be OK. I can see you losing by 2 goals at Stamford Bridge.....no disgrace against one of the PL "big boys"
