Amos mm away and Dykes should have scored. He even had a moment to compose himself. Def two points dropped due to those chances. We can't win them all and glad not to lose to their offside goal too.
The more barbet mishit the ball the more ridiculous the bandage looked . **** game, still in the mix...
Brilliant from Charlie - really he had Downes sent off twice, but the ref bottled the first one. Downes clearly punched Charlie, so it should have been a straight red. Not too disappointed, we can't win every game. Three points and a few goals on Saturday.
Very poor performance, Johansen was diabolical ffs. Passing and crossing not good at all, Uncle too deep to get any meaningful runs. Austin was awful, looked like his shoelaces were tied together all night, and then could've got himself sent off again for being a twat. Still should've nicked it but Dykes hastily shot straight at the keeper when had to score and Amos unlucky possibly with shot against the post. Another point gained but can't help but feel it's 2 dropped. Home form not mirroring away form and obviously the Sky hoodoo. Willock was standout again but looked like he picked up a knock, we only had 1 shot on target in the 2nd half, we seriously need to improve our performances of late it's not gonna get us in play offs. Dirty Forest won again and only 5 points behind us now. Reading will have their 2 main centre backs from Afcon ready for us and Ejaria could be back after 9 games out. Perfect timing ffs, let's put in a good performance please
Yup, if Austin's goal against WBA was a moment you'd look back on at the end of the season the same can be said of moments like this. Amos was bad luck but Dykes has to do better.
Maybe that will calm everyone down a bit in respect of possibly finishing 2nd. Pretty even game where they cancelled eachother out for 70 minutes. I thought Swansea were settling for a point from then on and we really should have nicked the win with that sitter for Dykes. Swansea are a strange team. I thought they looked superb first half, but in the second half they were really niggly and Downes is just a twat. Amos was unlucky to hit the post with the only thing he did all game. I thought Barbet had an absolute shocker and Johansen was poor too. They really stopped us playing though and pressed and chased everything. 4 points from the last two games isn't so bad.
We really need a fourth official to take the time. 5 mins was too little and then with all the comotion and an injury after 90, the ref adds on 11 seconds!
If we'd been offered 4th with 48 points after 27 games and only 4 points of 2nd before the start of the season, don't think many of us would have refused it......... Teams are going to make it hard for us now....... they were a horrible side with their constant niggly fouls........ but when they did try to play some football they weren't that bad........ We take a point, clean sheet and move on to Saturday....... 13 out of last 15 points is good form.......
Awful game to watch, not really any positives from that match except clean sheet & point, in my prime I would’ve hooked that in with my left on the dykes miss, seem hurried & cramped with that shot, crossing abysmal
Extremely frustrating. Too many poor performances and we probably deserved nothing, but Dykes should have won it for us.
I thought he might have brought dozzell on for amos, a bit af calm passing is what that game needed. Sometimes i like to have a moan at the strikers, in fairness to austin and dykes, both should have bagged even though chas got flagged, but both didnt have much service during the game either. It just lacked that bit of class and turned into a scrap of a game. But hey we didnt lose and some players like Dunne, cousin Sam and even odebajo to an extent had a solid game.
He should've started Thomas, we needed the buzzy sort of energy that Chair brings, how Johansen played the full game is a mystery, he's been well below par in my eyes for a while now. Lost count of the wasted free kicks and corners he put in, just awful. Dunne was excellent and Field had another good game. Why was Uncle so deep when he came on, really needed him galloping down the wing and putting on crosses. I feared there was a lack of goals for us tonight, Willock really the only inspirational light, and i pray he's OK. Odebajo improved in the 2nd half but his final delivery has to improve even though he lated one on a plate for Dykes. We have to beat Reading !
We really do miss that link up play from Chair. You never quite know where he will pop up to receive the ball and he can commit defenders quite easily. Thomas buzzes around but has become quite a comedy figure in our household. Runs like **** and tries to get involved just about everywhere. Nicknamed him G & T as he make runs like someone whos had a few too many. Like the guy and will always support him but he will never play a major role in this team going forwards.
