    you Played much better in the second half and probably deserved a point, but i'm well annoyed that we didnt seal the win by half time as we absolutely dominated the first half (our best performance in ages imo - how we didnt score is beyond me)

    Just wasn't our day. Very reminiscent of our point against United when they battered us and didn't play well but defended excellently, but with the roles reversed.

    Well done to Swansea a team I like and enjoy watching, excellent defensive display

    You'd think that you'd just won the FA Cup.

    Chappaz, we are a newly promoted side and are poor away from home, I feel like we've just won the Champions league, never mind the FA cup.

    We've played 5 of the top 7 teams ......... all away ! . Vorm is incredible , he hasn't just gotten clean sheets , he's earned every one with top saves .

    A totally shocking first half but a much better 2nd half with two poor sides on the day. how the toon never won is beyond me as they had all the chances in the world. We never had one shot on target all game so to come away with a point is amazing...

    Just got back in after making the long trip north.

    My take on the game is as follows:

    Fantastic support from The Jack Army in support of Gary Speed, shed a few tears at the memorial outside the ground. Singing Bread of Heaven was a joy and the camaraderie between both sets of fans at supporting a true Welsh great, also the applause at 11mins during the game great mark of respect.

    Onto the game, thought Taylor got murdered the first 20mins by Obertans, eventually managed to get a grip. For me there were a few players who had poor performances. Very frustrated that Routledge wouldn't take a player on. Ba was a handful, thought Williams managed him well. Leon decent enough game, Jazz getting better. Glad to see Kemmy second half, he had the vision we needed to try and get the ball forward. No one of our best performances, passes going astray etc but it was a dogged display, did think we had a slight change in game plan where our full backs weren't committing going forward as much as usual. Still a gritty performance not pretty but a well deserved point.

    Onto Everton on Wednesday were I feel we will get our first away win.

    I guess if Vorm wasn't tested , we earned our point .
