    Fantastic player <ok>. He's giving us back what we lost when we sold Enrique. Good defensive play and fantastic going forward. He linked up well with Jonas, who had a bit of a poor game for me.

    Santon was very good today and can't wait to see more of him.

    Also the Mansfield Mancini didn't put a foot wrong defensively. Great tackle at the end also

    I was impressed with Perch actually! Put in some good tackles (that track back with Sinclair was especially impressive) and put in some good passes and long balls that usually found the target. I would have given him 7/10 if I were to mark everyones performances

    Santon was very good today, but I have one problem. He is very one footed and a couple of times he went in with his right foot when he should have gone in with his left foot. For me, we need to sign a left back and put Santon right back.

    He looks really good going forward but he still needs to convince me that he's better than Raylor defensively ...

    Santon was class today, much better than Raylor. Also agree that Perch was there when we needed him, decent performance from the lad.

    Excellent today, only problem was he wasnt tested enough today due to the fact we dominated, a few loose balls but with more game time we will be awsome, for a defender he seems to have very good vision!!

    I loved it when he charged down the Swansea player from our half right down into their corner and won the ball.

    To be fair Swansea never tested him but he did ok I agree. We will have more joy scoring past a team trying to score past us.

    Yup and they did it very well, we dominated but they put in a very good defensive performance, im not a fan of that style of play but it worked for them, we didnt do a hell of a lot wrong to be fair

    Several positives:
    We finished the game with 11 men
    Colo and Tiote looked good
    We didn't concede

    I think this one was a dangerous game...a loss and the wheels could have come off. Onward and upward from here.

    Exactly. I feel we should've won with that performance, Swansea were just too solid.

    Hmmm Cabaye is suspended for our next match against W.Brom cos he's already picked 5 yellows so far. TBH I thought that Tiote would be in the sinbin first ...
