Roy's View From... Pre-Match View From Swansea

[Silent Blade]

Didn't Brewster bag the last time we played them? I know he scored when we played them away but not sure if that was the first fixture of the season against them. Or was it Khadra? I know both were involved for sure.

Khandra scored, Brewster assist.

“Please tell me Hamer is not playing”

Sounds worried.

Cheers Roy.

 

[Flumps]

Khandra scored, Brewster assist.

Ah, I remember them being both involved and it was a sprint from half way. Swansea claiming Brewster fouled their player if I remember correctly?

This guy obviously missed his calling as a Sky Sports pundit. In his head anyway.

“This is all about balance.. Sheffield Utd have not conceded a goal for 4 games – but having seen them I don’t believe it is because of a fortress defence.
The Blades will invite you in and then destroy you on the break. That has resulted in teams declining the invitation to press them high.
I think (if Cullen is fit) we press them with Cooper and Cullen plus a wide player – but once the press looks unsuccessful we retreat to a lower block with the personnel still goal side.
My concern is that Key and (an even bigger culprit) Tymon get attracted to the press like moths to the flame – and then we will see the space in behind them attacked ruthlessly and at high pace.

I went to that FA cup game when we lost 0-3 in 2007.
We were in the PL and they were in league 1 but they totally outclassed us both on and off the pitch.
They played in all white and knocked the ball about with short passing possession football like Real Madrid. They were so good that day I predicted they would move up the leagues playing like that and 5 years later they were regular finishing mid table in the PL.

The gate was almost 16K with Swansea bringing 6K filling the upper and lower tiers. They celebrated every goal like it was their cup final, very noisy fans the whole match in party atmosphere, where as our fans hardly made a noise and didn't seem bothered. Didn't help that pre match Warnock admitted his priority was to stay in the Premier league.

I've been supporting us 50 years and it's probably the most one sided outclassing (combined on the pitch and on the terraces)
I can remember from any away team at the Lane.

Don’t worry, I’m starting a go fund me page to get u a season ticket over there

Thanks Roy.

Wow, considered well reasoned posts, could this be the dawning of a new age for rival footy fans?
Nah it will never catch on.

 

[originaltrueblade]

Im a season ticket holder but last season there were about 6 matches I couldn't attend due to weddings or on holiday.
I missed Newcastle, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Brighton, in fact most of our thrashings.

Was the whole stadium taken over (noise wise) by the Newcastle fans?

Yes it was. After the fifth goal hardly any of our fans left in the ground

 

[BigBed]

Thank you yet again Royston!!!
And I'm very suprised!!
I'm sure, and I've read it 3 times to make sure, but it seems that not 1 Swansea fan hates us!!??
And after a considerable contemplating session, I think I know why.........

Because we saved them from signing Brewster on a perm!!!
It has to be for that, cos every other fucker hates us!!!

Good read though, and atlast, some fans that understand and watch the game!
Still hope we smash em, but we weren't great against Pompy, so let's see.......

COYRAWW!!!

"They did not beat Norwich Portsmouth or QPR..."

Granted, but we've beaten every other team we've played and have yet to lose.

 

[Balham]

Is Vigouroux from the Asterix books?

He’s from the banned Asterix and the Insatiable Nymphomaniac. Very Vigouroux.

 

[bibbity bobbity boo]

"Wednesday will be a huge test for us."

They are fucking shit mate, it's United you need to be worried about.

 

[Northernsoulblade]

Cheers Roy a must win for me keep us right in the mix

 

[Jim Mcdonald]

No way we lose this game, Swansea are crap so they are. Just another obstacle as we piss this tin pot league, can’t wait to be playing the likes of Man City and Chelsea at the Lane instead of crap like these so I can’t.

[Melbourne Blade]

4 nil win would be amazing. 3rd place and equal best GD. Surely not

 

[blade too long]

a 4-0 win tonight would take us 3rd ,,,, and we could have gone top but for the 2 point deduction

so we are doing somethings right
