    Replay shows their goal was disallowed for holding - one of their players had one of ours in a bear hug.

    Dizzy heights, will breed a bit of confidence though, which has been definately lacking.

    How many games was it without anaway win? 14?

    Maybe the tide has turned at last

    Have to be strong against Millwall then two winnable games before the International break

    Excellent to get the away win.

    Cracking goal from Sema.

    Another moment of quality deciding a scrappy game.

    Didn't seem we were troubled too much but for the disallowed goal.

    2 stodgy games, two stunning late goals, and saved by the lino twice too!

    It's about time that sort of thing was penalised more.

    It was far from perfect, but tonight there did seem as though we had a plan that worked. The passing backwards, sideways etc was not so obvious, in fact Swansea were forced into doing it.

    Just looked up the capacity of Swansea's stadium - 21,088
    Tonight's attendance was 21,088 - yet the ground looked more than half empty

    That is the frustration.

    No doubt it will happen on Saturday and not be pulled up.

    They probably include people not there like we do.

    I mean wasn't 18k on Saturday for example.

    I was just going by a results app - so maybe they got it wrong.

    Can't really see why there goal was dissalowed:



    Think we've been given the rub of the green in the last two games.

    Long may it continue.

    Although tbf the one on Saturday was definitely the right decision in the end.

    Hopefully the start of more consistency particularly in defence and we looked more solid in defence although do need to work on our set plays at both ends .

    Amazing what can be done if someone tries a shot or two eh?

    Roll on Millwall - due a good performance v them .
