Match Day Thread Swansea City v Millwall

We’re always the same after an international break.

 

Well that was **** ! We need a trundle or the like as they cant find a a finisher after all the passing back and sideways !

 

Absolute junk.

Lucky away form is ok.

 

Nothing to do with international break....Cooper has been found out wanting in the championship..Leeds and WBA are showing how it's done.....

 

International break is just an excuse.

 

You'd think so but we do seem to have a jinx with the game after and also with ex players guaranteed to score against us!

 

Just got back home.

Well that was abysmal.

The worst player on the field - by a country mile - was Grimes. Captain or not he should be dropped from the squad (or at best benched) for Huddersfield. That said, there were ****e performances also from Byers and Dyer, whilst Celina and Routs weren’t far behind.

Our ‘best’ players were Woody and Naughton.

Millwall were by far the better side in the first half and it was slightly ironic that they scored after we’d had our best period.

Cooper was out thought and our coached by his opposite number.

Right from the off, you could see how Millwall had been set up - a high press designed to stop our passing game and boy ‘didn’t they do well.’

Cooper’s reaction Yep, nothing

Dyer should have had the shepherd’s hook by at least 30 mins into the game, with Baston becoming CF.

At half time, the midfield needed bolstering....

Cooper needs to grow a pair and quickly!

 

I could have mentioned the awful - if not biased - officiating by the ref and the Lino (in front of the West), but I didn’t want to give the impression above that we lost due to them.

We deserved to lose - we weren’t helped by the officials, but we lost coz we were ****e!

 

Pretty much how I saw it too, what a wast to see it in HD also!!...............

 

Thank God we did not play like that against Cardiff. ..... Need a strong Personality as Captain.
Just not good enough today, they were stronger.

 

They appeared to be very well coached and stopped us playing - but even when we had the ball, we were crap. The number of misplaced passes....

 

Had a choice today. Watch the Millwall game or go for a 9 mile hike above cloud level at Pontsticill in the cold and the rain. Chose the latter and although it was pretty miserable conditions, sounds like the right choice...

 

Wish I’d have had the same choice!

 

what a waste to get up at 1am and watch it live on TV over here

 

I’m not sure we deserved to lose other than their free kick and a couple of punches out by Woodman we weren’t troubled ,but I agree that Millwall did a job on us and did it well although we certainly helped them along the way. Midfield or rather lack of it is costing us dearly and worrying players just can’t seem to raise their standards Byers Grimes poor this season with Celina hit and miss .Today pretty much spoiled my weekend and two hard games coming up I think we’re going to regret today’s result more than we should have

 

Oh dear dear.......what you going to do bout it Cooper?....

"Lies, damned lies, and statistics" then there was today

 

We thought that if it was a foul then VdH should have seen red.

Also, we thought that they should have had a stonewall penalty when Byers (?) grabbed their player in the box.

Overall, we/I thought that they deserved it

 

Lets be honest here, The team has been awful ever since Cooper has had his honeymoon period.....A solitary win here and there is just not good enough since then and we are lucky results have gone our way most of the time and that wont last. the team are well in a false position and again that wont last long either. The fault lays with the manager at the end of the day as he is out of his depth and comfort zone and that is so clear to see with our home form all season. You can see the fans on social media sites starting to question his ability and i agree. I am sure we wont go down but i'm more sure that we wont be in the playoffs playing like we are and will more than likely end up in the bottom half.....Changes need to be made starting with the raw ability of the manager because fans are questioning just what ability has he got as anyone can win the odd game here and there but to be a good manager then you cant perform in front of your own fans at home like we have been doing as that is the way to turn the fans against you.....
