Eighteen calmly grazing during the absence of Swansea threat, at right hand corner of our penalty area, on the touchline.

I think one of them nearly saved Swansea's only shot on target

Nayoh that were Wes...

swansea are always a good team historically, but i was hoping that we could upset Welsh hopes for the 2nd time this week. concern about the tough game we had midweek

but very impressed, brilliant performance, that us at the top level that ive not seen much since the World Cup restart, for all the people that disregard the fa cup, the win midweek has seemed to give us a great impetus as there is a big difference between rotherham & Swansea

the 1st goal that was a quality finish of highest order from berge. i could watch that all day

i was thinking referee was having good game . but after 25th min he seem to have lost the plot with some odd decisions & i was thinking 1st half that with some of these drop ball decisions. its a good job Steve Bruce isnt in charge. but its seemingly the rule was apply correctly, even if the rule makes no sense & is open to abuse from teams that like push the boundaries

 

[El Volví]

A brilliant game with a fantastic result almost spoilt by....

 

[Foxy]

Cant remember seeing a ref stop play 2x when we have the ball for an oppo player injury which was not as a result of a foul, then give the drop ball to the oppo team.

Was three.

At least two of the three were in the middle of the park weren’t they?

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Pretty obvious now that Wrexham are the best team in Wales, although we’ve not played Connah’s Quay yet..

Well done to Foderingham for keeping the CLEAN SHEET today. Let's hope he can keep another one on Wednesday

Serious question.
Are you an AI chatbot?

Too many pigeons on the pitch?

We're sat on the South and at 7 minutes in they were still sat there undisturbed.

What new rule change?

The one where they fall over while we are in possession and they get the ball back.

Smells like team spirit

 

[The Judge 1889]

Was three.

Must have missed that!!

 

[St Albans Blade]

Yet more humble pie

Sense there’s a pattern emerging here?!?

UTB

 

[Keen Blade]

Lineup seems fine. Would like to see Clark and Coulibaly get minutes off the bench if appropriate

We're sat on the South and at 7 minutes in they were still sat there undisturbed.

They have obviously sown some grass seed in that bare area but to no avail as the feckin pigeons have eaten it all - need to put a net over it next time

Don't forget the other rule change from today. If your defender tackles his own goalkeeper, then award a free kick to that team!

The referee was on a different planet today.

 

[Mendi]

Huge win

Even with another net, Swansea still probably wouldn't have scored today.

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

McAtee really becoming the full package now. Developing areas he was in most weak in.

McBurnie showed some really subtle play as well, nice little touches in 1-2s getting through them.
Seeing this all over the squad. Bogle, JLT, Lowe all adding extra dimensions and new threats.
Great times.

im put my tin helmet on thinking about things. the ball wasnt in penalty box but intial incident was. is this these new generation of managers fault. because i dont know what is being taught on the pro licence because its almost they have a chapter on the dark arts. that wasnt taught 20 years ago. but alot are seemingly trying to attack the grey areas / spirit of the rule. i joked during the game its a good job steve Bruce wasnt in charge. after overmars & Kanu

because was these incidents magnified because what normally happens is opposition get the ball back & then Goalkeeper boots its back our goalkeeper. no harm done, but every time Swansea kept the ball & ignored the sportsmanship rule which is frowned upon but not illegal.

The one with the keeper yes, pretty sure the first or second one was a man laid down near half way?
