Impressed today. Cattermoles yellow was a yellow. Lens was booked for bumping into someone ffs! Ashley Williams with a great save second half. Got one arm clearly to the ball to push it round. Great keeping... Oh... He's a defender? Really?
Much much better to day. At last a bit of hope. Credit to O'Shea. He was close to Gomis, gave him no time. We looked much better with him in the team. Does he tell others to play badly so he can get back in? Just a simple step out for the goal though. Matthews much better. PVA a few worrying moments but again much better. We pressed high in the first half and gave Swansea little time. The injury to Jones threw us and we didn't recover. Lost concentration and gave Swansea the initiative. Though we looked tired until the goal then it was open until the final whistle. Lens's best game. M'vila when fully fit looks really good. Even Rodwell looked okay. Disgusted when Fletcher came on. Really detest him. Danny Graham did okay. Played a part in the goal. Tried to do the right things. I would happily ship those two for one good forward. All in all we could have won with chances created but so could have Swansea. Swansea were stopped from playing. First half until jones injury. When they went 1-0 up the had a good period at the start of the second half. Had chances to kill the game.
Good battling display and Pantilimon was excellent (unfortunately). Got no problem with the result or the game; both teams got stuck in at times and it was a penalty at the end; Ash didn't know much about it but his hand was up. Knew before the game that we would get a backlash, but thought you would tire but fair play you kept closing down and chasing and by the final whistle I was relieved with a good away point. That said thought we played quite well. Good luck for the rest of the season .
Off and running chaps . Sounds like a battling display which is a good sign. Dick's "fire sale" seemed to have worked!
Well done lads, shame we let you back into the game, should have finished you miserable buggers off, but at least you now have 1 point!............
Spot on mate. I though before we scored we looked tired and you were in charge. The goal gave us a boost and the players upped there energy levels. Thought Jones marked Monty well first half. It was only when he went off injured that he got going. Looked great second half. If you were going to score it was through him. Thought you were very decent.
Germanic peoples are pure enough, it's the Brythonic who are mongrels, since they were Romanised, the Anglo-Saxons came to England and built it from the ashes.
Can't disagree with any of that: was a good competitive game and as I said earlier, was relieved to come away with a point at the end.
Watch motd later you will see the ball hit Williams thigh before his arm so it was ball to hand not hand ball
