    They look a very good team and not many teams will come away with much from the Liberty judging by that performance!
    its only our 2nd league game so hopefully we can learn quite alot from that match and cut out the silly mistakes. It was great to see Fletch score 2, that will be a big weight off his shoulders. HAWAY THE LADS!!

    Aye mate they played really well.
    I did notice they aren't afraid to put their foot in as well mind.
    Quite a few professional fouls to stop us breaking.

    That McClean incident pi$$ed me off when he was taken out and the ref gave them a soft freekick on the edge of the box straight after!

    Full credit to them, I'll take the draw and goals to fletch. Not happy that we let ourselves get bossed after the red though. Lots for us to work on, but early days so no panic.

    Aye mate nee panic here, I just wish they hadn't sat back after the sending off.

    City or ManU would have shown no mercy.

    It has not improved from last season, we have to keep hold of the ball !, what is this hoof the ball down the pitch nonsense ? i would have took a draw before the match, but we needed a Kevin ball/Roy keene out there.

    We are a bit behind in terms of fitness and gelling with our key players. Sess' Johnson and Fletcher not up to speed yet.

    We will improve.

    We matched them first half and catts injury allowed them to boss the midfield. I thought the first half we tried to pass the ball. Second half we were far too deep. Players tired.

    Swansea are a good side. I didn't think it was a sending off mind.

    Sending off for the danger mate.
    He did catch him check it out later on MOTD or footy first.
    Edge of his boot clearly hits back of Sahas head.

    Sess showed glimpses that he was getting into his stride.

    Fletcher was great, very good in the air.

    Defence was largely solid, cb's especially

    Everyone else was pretty average IMO, look forward to the team getting into their stride.

    Overall we gained a good point, still undefeated, never easy atSwansea

    I think this team is capable of improvement, this has not always been the case in the past.

    Thanks for the very interesting game today, we should have won it, but goals count and fletcher took his 2 very well. Happy overall with a point as it could have been a lot worse. Regarding the 2 incidences apart from the goals, Taylor's injury was not the fault of the Sunderland player, in fact I would say it was his own fault ! And the red card was for a stupid foul that could have easily been avoided, also his own fault!

    See you on the return leg, best of luck

    If the ref had been even non league standard he would have sent off that lad for the challenge on McClean. One of the worst tackles seen so far this campaign. I thought the actual sending off very soft. Ref was utter cak all afternoon imo.


    Swansea play a very good standard of passing and retention and we struggled at times to cope but another away point, at a team that had 3 out of 3 this season so far is good stuff.

    2 points in 2 away games is canny for me and especially when we are not firing on all cylinders yet either.

    Roll on the bin dippers.

    Not only 2 away points, but points from 2 very good teams.

    A draw was a fair result, our back line discipline was shocking today and cost us, from Taylors self inflicted injury, to Williams gaff, gifting you the first goal, to Chico's red card, though we bossed large parts of the game, thought you would have taken advantage of the extra man, pleased with the point considering you parked the bus in front of goal all game!.................<cheers>
