    Half the team looked knackered towards the end yet Cooperman only used 1 sub....

    Poor game management imo Ayew and Surridge of the two one should have come off and put Wilmott on to bolster the middle .

    I agree - I’d like to see Wilmot as the ‘dog’ in midfield

    More points dropped, our home form is shocking, one of the worst I can remember, with no transfers in January, is there anything in the academy? because we look very stale, not going to get started on our defence...............<ok>

    Swansea head coach Steve Cooper told BBC Radio Wales:

    "After the weekend (defeat to West Brom) it was a real defining moment in the character and personality of the team when we went a goal down.

    "I thought it could go either way and to be fair to the boys they really stood up for themselves and for the club, and so they should.

    "I've seen the penalty decision back for handball and it's just a massive error from the referee (Jeremy Simpson), and because he knows he made the error he's then made the poor red card decisions and he's lost his composure really.

    "He's made four major decisions and he's got them fundamentally wrong. I'm only being honest.

    "He is going to be embarrassed when he sees it back on TV. He'll probably be refereeing in the Conference now."

    Blackburn Rovers manager Tony Mowbray said:

    "With 11 v 10 I thought we would win the match, but then 11 v 11 and 10 v 10 you have to say Swansea are a very good football team.

    "It's a bit of a mystery why their home record has not been as good as they would have wanted.

    "Dack's second yellow is embarrassing. He just stuck his backside into the lad.

    "It felt like it was just evening things up a little bit - he (referee Simpson) wasn't sure he'd got the first sending off right."

    I have to agree with both managers comments , the ref lost the plot at times and as for the linesman on the east side the less said the better , possibly although I'm sure there's more to come the poorest display of officiating I've seen for a long time.

    The Hammers have only played ten home games this season compared to thirteen played away and based on those ten games, the first 45 minutes of games have been the poorer with 25% of their goals scored and 60% of their goals conceded. The second half is much better with two goals scored in the first fifteen minutes, three in the second and four in the third

    Swansea City head coach Steve Cooper has been charged by the Football Association over comments he made after a 1-1 draw with Blackburn Rovers on 11 December.

    Cooper criticised referee Jeremy Simpson who he claimed failed to award a penalty to the Swans.

    Simpson also sent off Swansea's Tom Carroll and Blackburn's Bradley Dack.

    An FA statement said: "Steve Cooper has been charged with a breach of FA Rule E3."

    The statement added: "It is alleged that comments made by the Swansea City manager following an EFL Championship fixture against Blackburn Rovers on Wednesday, 11 December 2019 constitute improper conduct in that they question the integrity of the match officials and/or bring the game into disrepute.

    "He has until Friday, 27 December 2019 to provide a response."

    Welshman Cooper, 40, claimed the official had "lost his composure" and made a series of errors.

    Trouble is, .... Cooper was correct, we should have had a penalty against Blackburn, and again against Luton.
    When they see the replays, (that's if they bloody do). And see the obvious, then charge should be dismissed.
    But what a bloody hope.
