jesus christ

He'll provide a miracle

 

[Nick Jansky]

Need a goal and bringing on RND and Shackleton, jesus christ

That’s about preserving the point.

 

[riselikeasalmon]

So they are.

Not seen it today, but from what I saw last week if we get a nil nil we have tightened up at the back which is what we needed to do, don’t get the hate for McGuinness he is fine we can sort out going forward

 

[Flippity Gibbert]

Whinging Welsh cunts on comms

 

[TheSecondComing]

Chrissy Wilder and nil nil. Chrissy Wilder and nil nil.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

The Zero Hero's

 

[Æthelstan]

So based on their greater level of possession but lack of goals, we are basically the exact same as we were against Birmingham.

Good defence and that's all.

A point is a point I guess.

 

[Kenworthy’s Tash]

Better second half but still a long way short

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Another CLEAN SHEET for Cooper

 

[Cheeky Blade]

Good point down down there.
Onto the next.

UTB.

Swansea comms incensed by what they claimed was our blatant timewasting.

Fuck 'em!

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Swansea have the ball so much against us and yet most the time it feels like we are most likely to score.

Obviously with Chong out, Donavon not involved and one too the creativity of last week wasn't there at all and that was hardly chance after chance!

We won on xg...

Being solid is a base to build from. We are that.

 

[FriethBlade]

Decent second half and definitely worth a point

Funny how all the transfer talk has been about Souttar and Anel when the defence has been solid. Clearly we need more bodies at CB but we need some creativity and pace going forward more.

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Good away performance I thought. Shudda won it.
Last season that would have been a loss.
We need Billy Sharp back or an equivalent.

 

[Bobby b]

On this showing neither of these sides are troubling the top, Swansea have a lot of possession without any danger, we looked very solid at the back, as we did last week tbf, but there doesn't seem any style of play, we obviously need another cb but for me we are crying out for a creative midfielder, and how many of those can you get for free, getting one on loan seems a long shot as well

 

[Champagneblade]

Decent point away from home.

Keeps the run of three clean sheets going.

Much higher xG than them in a tight game.

We all know that we’ll be aiming for a creative forward in the window in the last knockings. So for now accumulation of points is the main thing.

Good that we showed some tactical
Flexibility too. I always thought McCallum could do the LCB role. Good to show that we can be adaptable.

 

[Flippity Gibbert]

Swansea comms incensed by what they claimed was our blatant timewasting.

Claiming there’s only 10secs when making a substitution. Fucking idiots.
Getting grief from AI detecting toxic post and Mrs who is Welsh.

 

[Gimli]

Owing to the fact we were away, it’s a better point than last week

There is a 10 second rule this season

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Defensively outstanding i wander how much is due to Phil Jones? Midfield...battled, created very little. Attack...the shirts looked nice.
Forget blame, praise etc....we need to find a new owner and buy our way out of this predicament.
44 more games to go.....im going to get my paint out of the garage!!!

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

A win would lift some gloom. Dont see us even getting a shot on goal tbh. But yu never know how the players are going to react. Safe travels to all that go down.

We got 2 shots on goal...whoooo

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Is One available?

Precaution to leave him out after late knock in last game

 

[coolasanidiot]

Very decent point - Swansea have spent 15 million compared to our -14 million, to a man worked their socks off. Dare I say looked fitter than last year (about time). That there with a couple of additions loan wise is mid table which I'd definitely take given the shit show upstairs. Need to pray and hope we don't get -12.

Well done to Wilder set us up to be hard to beat and nick a goal. We got close which is fair enough. If you were expecting more with squad we have you are kidding yourselves.

 

[Flippity Gibbert]

There is a 10 second rule this season

Yeah, I was ranting at them and forgot that.

 

[SwissBlade]

Good performance, building confidence in the defensive side of the game again against a side that likes to dominate possession.

Had the better chances to win it and with more from the bench we might’ve been able to force it a bit more.

Swansea looked terrible though with all that possession they didn’t look like they wanted to create goal scoring chances

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Undefeated in the league so far this season.

 

[Broomhall Blade]

We got 2 shots on goal...whoooo

Going in the right direction hopefully 3 next week

 

[blades_95]

Next few games will really tell if these are okay points or not. On the one hand we’ve not been majorly troubled & a decent base to build on.

The other side of the coin is that we’ve created barely anything against two very average teams, and not shown the intent in either game to go and win it. Clearly Wilder is happy with the 0-0’s and tight 1-0’s again in a game of fine margins - we just need to hope we don’t fall on the wrong side of these again or we’ll be looking over our shoulders.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Happy enough with that

Expected a defeat

We now have 2 very winnable games against Cardiff and Bolton

Attacking reinforcements now crucial
