    Great 3 points at Swnsea. Not a great game to watch but a few good performances.

    Truly did not expect to get anything there!

    I listened to radio commentary of the first half and it seemed we were in control really. I didn't listen to the second half (I get nervous and anxious) so I was delighted when I heard the final score. A poor quality game by all accounts but hey we won to continue our recent form and 2 away wins in a row is an excellent return.

    That's gracious of you Taff. Before the game I would have settled for a draw as we rarely get anything at your place.

    PP - I try to call it as I see it. You were very comfortable against us.

    We were poor - possibly the most depressing from a fan's perspective since we've been in the PL - but that's not why you won. If we'd been any better, I believe that you still would have had enough to beat us.

    Can't see why you won't be between 8th and 10th this season<cheers>

    Baffled by Monk's starting line up. Stoke were business like and didn't really have to do much for their well deserved win.
    Bojan was impressive.

    Very dull game and Swansea seemed very lerthargic? Great result for us and to get the clean sheet was a bonus. #happydays

    I agree Ricc, fist half I thought we looked like we might score a couple but then it dried up.

    It might have seemed easy but it was tough to watch them defend a narrow lead and I was sure Shelvy's effort had gone in.

    I watched the whole game and I was pleased with how we played in general , what made it look scrappy was that occasionely we gave the ball away through lack of concentration , Butland's howler for example.
