    Hernandez, Routledge and Dyer will all have their turn - it is the nature of the position in which they play.

    Not spotted musty. I hope the pundits pick up on it on MOTD later.

    That said it was a red anyway imo.

    Funny how things change. Today we are all pleased with the way our team fought back twice and even with 10 men pressed the game and looked like the only winners.
    We're all a little disappointed though that we didn't get all three points. Three points that would have taken us to the top of the Premier League ! Could anyone have imagined making a statement like that 9 years ago when we nearly lost our league status ?
    I don't have the words to describe the pride I have in my team tonight, I hope you all feel the same.

    Well said, Dilli. You don't have to be a long time fan to love where we are and what we're doing but those of us who remember freezing cold nights in a half empty Vetch have to pinch ourselves sometimes.

    You must be a glory fan mate, I remember going to the vetch with sometimes less than 2k there, so a quarter full. You plastic ;)

    We have had a decade of success and long may it continue. But I do get shaky when we tslk of stadium expansion because I know the bad days could always return.

    Having said that, the Club is far better run now and I think we wouldn't go lower than the Championship if we ever get relegated.

    It's not what the team has accomplished over the last 6 or so seasons that makes me the most proud , although proud of what they've accomplished I am . No sir , it's the manner in which the team accomplished what they have over that time . The whole League , at one point or another , must have had to stop & wonder how we have not spent a lot & rose 2 league to make the Premier , then not spent a lot again & stay there . Big & small clubs wish they could be frugal & successful as Swansea . I believe SCFC are changing the way premier teams are to be run , and that's a good thing for all teams & the health of the League in general

    The worst I remember was being down the Vetch on a Tuesday night and we were losing 2-0 after 30 mins to Exeter and someone in the North Bank shouted out to get Paul Raynor on.
    The next voice shouted that we must be desperate to get him on !
    3-0 the final score was, there was about 3,000 there and I had a soaking to boot. My how times have changed

    Laudrup seems to have added some steel to the side. You still play the attractive football, but you aren't afraid to go flying in to challenges now, and you bossed the game with 10 men, whereas, like the op said, you probably would have lost last season.

    Also worth mentioning you've spent the allen and sinclair money well, and still made a net £5 million profit.

    Jazz has been injured recently, also he wants to play in midfield, he doesn't like playing at left/right back.

    Nobody, Dyer and Routledge have both been outstanding, same with Ki, De Guzman was quality today and we can't take our Britton, he's the heart of the team, the new lads will have to wait for their chance.

    Fact is, 7 points out of 9, we were unlucky today and the score could have been a lot different both ways, we should be really happy with this result, especially under the circumstances.

    Its a known Fact that teams use us as an example today, you can even find us making the broadsheets all over the world.....you hear them say that if you want to see how football should be played then watch Baca and swansea city and the way they play.....

    And we nearly lost it today thanks to some very poor disciple from our back line! Rangel could have given them a penalty, Taylor has only himself to blame, it's been coming for some time, Williams had a shocker, and Chico looks likely to collect a few reds this season, Laudrup needs to sort this sloppy ill disciplined defence, which was the only issue which cost us 2 points in my view!.............<ok>
