    Well do you live in Germany or not? If you speak a tad bit of German you should have not much trouble understanding Dutch <whistle>

    0-2 this should be over, maybe even a 0-3 the way the Swans are playing atm

    Well done, I didn't think the baggies were in it and you seem to have your passing game back after a few early miss-placed passes. A good away win for you.

    Excellent display by the lads and the travelling fans, 3 pts away from a team that finished above us last season is a very good sign indeed.

    It's hard to see either of the Welsh teams being relegated Taff, I think our rivalry will be renewed for next season

    That really was easy, wish we could have put a couple more away, we deserved a few more goals I think, we were that dominant

    Maybe now, a little more belief from the pessimists amongst us <whistle>

    just got back from game good performance by the team although shelvey and hernandez guilty of silly passes at times. one worrying note at the end was Ash waving to the fans all the other players applauded - hopefully not a goodbye wave

    Yes me too Swim - great result today although we should have got that second goal earlier and killed them off.

    So to please some of our other correspondents our current form is 1 win from 1 game ;)

    I was really concerned that in typical Swans fashion we wouldn't kill them off with a second and they'd hit us with a deflected goal. Why we didn't break faster is a mystery - then we did and scored. Hopefully the lesson is learned and we can bury teams that deserve to be buried. As Laudrup said, he was nervous that someone would pop up with a goal for them and it's always a risk with us isn't it?

    On a positive note, some good performances today. Michu as busy as ever, Hernandez coming good as we predicted and that goal will do Ben a lot of good.

    Good team performance today without too many negatives (for a change <whistle>) yes WBA were poor but still dangerous in the 1st quarter ,if Anelka had put a couple of his chances away would we have shown enough character to fight for a result ?.We scored in a very open 1st half and appeared to get stronger and were back to our old ways of controlling the pace of the game .2nd half they had a bit more of the ball but I don't think Vorm had a shot to save , if Routledge had put his very good chance of getting the 2nd ( he hesitated) before trying to get his one on one with the keeper ( who was carrying an injury for most of the 2nd half thats why he elected to play short balls out to Olson) they would have collapsed As it was we should have won this game at a canter so it proves we're still capable of creating chances ,we just need to be a lot more clinical .De Guman had a productive appearance and didn't make us less effective .Canas on todays performance will be difficult to drop and Shelvey had a bit more control to his game today .Well deserved result today and to those who watched the streams , yes we were that loud.

    Comfortable performance - we should have scored 3 or 4 and it's good to get a few points on the board to silence the critics. Jack Army in fine voice. Ash Williams was waving to his family - don't read too much into that!

    Only just managed to get onto the site.

    Great game and a well deserved victory, we well and truly out played them, I don't think Vorm had a save to make. Some good performances all over the park, Canas ran his nuts off. Shelvey did try some Hollywood balls, but second half played nice an simple. Looking from the stands, it looks like Canas is the midfielder to break up the play and Shelvey is the creative player, and it did work well. My scores for the players.

    Vorm 7 - He was a spectator most of the game.
    Rangel 6 - Marshalled Sinclair well, but didn't get out wide enough and slow in the build up.
    Chico 7 - He worked well with Ash and they covered each others back.
    Ash 7 - As Chico.
    Davies 7 - Got forward and a stunning goal.
    Hernandez 8 - Very busy, starting to show his potential. Couple of wasteful balls but I'll forgive him.
    Canas 8 - The lads plays the game nice simple, will be a good foil for Shelvey.
    Shelvey 7 - Yes he tried his Hollywood balls, but second half he did play some quality balls.
    Routledge 6 - Arghhh wanted to walk the ball into the net when clean through.
    Michu 7 - All round sound display just needs control his passion at times.
    Bony 7 - Still getting to grips with the system, some nice touches and layoffs he will be a great asset.

    De Guzman 6 - First ball he had he bloody lost it. Did improve as the game went on.
    Poz 6 - Didn't have enough time to shine.
