Article: Swansea City vs Norwich City Match Preview & Thread|Football, Swansea City, Norwich City

Well done Norwich, thoroughly deserved win, much better side than us today.

 

great win and a great game

let's hope we see this fixture next season

 

Well done Norwich. Played well and deserved the 3 points on the balance of play I think. What I find worrying is that our squads are very similar, and when we've lost to you in the last 2 seasons it has been because, in part I feel, of a lack of fight/desire, call it what you will, on our part and it's inexcusable. The players need to scrap it out every minute in this league and for the second time this season we've seen that demonstrated by Norwich. Surely Grant Holt and Danny Graham must be in line with a shout for the England team now?

Agree re: McEachran too, wasn't impressed at all. Hope Joey's hamstring problem isn't too serious.

 

Wana thank swansea for a hell of a game. What an advert for our breed of good players and good football.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off for a few shots of Vodka and a go on a Heart Defibulator

**** Me!Phew

 

Wow !! ..Great finish .. Well I can think of 18 other clubs that I rather not beat us than Norwich , well done .. Like CNN election results ,I 'm prepared to make a call , Norwich could lose all the rest of there games & stay up on 35 points IMO . Have a good one all

 

Amazing game of football so much credit must be given to both teams. I'm sure it will get less column inches than Man U v Liverpool but this was an outstanding game of football which easily surpassed the early kick off. Norwich work ethic was immense today and huge credit to all the lads. Unfair to single any one out but Benno, Holt, Ward and Ruddy were sensational and the first 20-25mins of the second half is some of our best play all season. I maybe biased but I would say fair result although the last 5 mins were somewhat nerve racking to say the least. Thanks to Swans for a fantastic game of football and all the best for the rest of the season, I'm sure you will be fine

Thanks for the thread Scott, and hard luck on the result, I guess your first team never turned up for most of the match, although it was very squeaky bum time at the end!

Good luck for the rest of the season, you've got a good team, a great young manager, and some wonderful fans! See you in our Prem. matches next season

 

What an absolute corker, both teams safe..... Good luck for the rest of the season Jacks................23

 

3-2 result is flattering for the Swans! Not sure who carved through who better...Norwich against us or Arsenal against Blackburn last week!!! How we defended that badly I don't know!! Fair dos to Norwich they had our number, stopped us from playing but our defending was inexcusable!!! As for McEachran...god hopes it was just nerves or he is yet to settle because if he is the future of Chelsea then Chelsea are ****ed...which is a shame because i really rate him hence why i am hoping it was just nerves or something...Joe Allen he aint!!!

 

Brilliant <brilliant>

 

well done tactics worked and stopped us playing our A game, a very entertaining match look forward to playing you next season .

 

I concur

 

Well I almost called that right, if it wasn't for the soft penalty conceded I would have done ! Great game, and no offence intended Swans, but I though the scoreline actually flattered you a bit. Remember Canary fans, this is LAMBERT'S team, have faith it will be rewarded.

Can I congratulate Norwich, on a very good performance indeed, a thoroughly deserved win, you were first to the ball for so much of the game, we were simply second best after the first goal we scored. you looked fitter, and faster for the 50/50 ball, and if it had not been for some quite outstanding saves from our keeper Vorm, the scoreline could well have been 5 or 6 past us, new you would give us a real game this time round, well done indeed!..............

Hats off to Norwich , deserved the win today, a draw woould have been unfair to you guys, i thought you went up a gear when you scorer the 2 nd goal and There was only one winner after that.

Swans played ok but i thought brenden got selection wrong by playing josh mcheren, we had no answer for your tactics but i thought the ref could have done better ith the constantly shirt pulling.

No complaints oveall, the best team won fair and square.

You Are now safe IMO but good luck for the rest of the season anyway

 

thought we were lucky to go in 1 up at half time but lost our rhythm and defensively we really fell apart in the 2nd. fair play to Norwich because they bossed it and kept attacking even when they were 3 1 up. we could have got something in an exciting finish but that would probably have been an injustice - too many lazy performances all round.
weve got 2 weeks to reflect on this and i hope the players take stock and realise that weve still got a lot to do to ensure survival. i sincerely hope we ll resume rivalries with Norwich next year, great team and fans. MOM Vorm for me

 

Flipping typical that there are a whole load of crucial results at the top and bottom of the league which will now get preference knowing our luck! It will be a disgrace if we are not first or second on after the quality of football on display today - an absolute shocker!

 

I Reckon this will be 2nd or 3rd on MOTD due to the goal count?

 

Never mind manager of the month - surely Lambert has got one hand on the manager of the season award now!
