Mowbray's subs are always by rote. Does Graham always have to come off ? 

I run 6k four times a week and I’m 30. How on earth can’t Graham play 90 mins?

[SoldierMo]

Aaaaaaaargh

Thrown away three points, no way we're getting back into this.

Graham was probably knackered but a knackered Graham is far better than an out of position Brereton.

And what's happened to the defence?!?! Night and day!

Plus an out of position Dack thrown into the bargain, isn't it?

[booth]

Bollocks.

Never seen a more flattered team than Swansea.

Well unless Graham was carrying a knock, it's a daft decision. Oh 3-1 now.

At least Wigan are losing.

Ouch

He can’t play striker, he’s 24 never played there before and then in a league higher we experiment with it despite Bereton.

3-1 feck off

[jim mk2]

Rubbish, Mowbray

[Husky]

This 2nd half has been as bad as the start of our recent 3rd tier season.

[Gogger]

What the hell is Smallwood doing there?

[Waggy76]

Goals change games !

We were good value in the first half, they flew out the traps second half and we know the drill by now.

We worked hard in the first half but as an attacking force we've been insipid all game. Armstrong started off strong but seemed to give up after a couple of awful attempts on goal. Dack has been trying too hard to get the ball and as a result been ineffective again. Graham held it up well until he was taken off, but Brereton looks lost. 

Defensively we're a real mess. We need to forget these ideas of playoffs or promotion. Not happening with this squad. Too poor at the back and too lacking in the final third. Our work rate will secure us a mid table finish, but that's the limit unless we improve significantly in January. 

[Bigdoggsteel]

Good play by Brereton to win the corner before they scored. We didn't look as hungry second half 

[booth]

Two factors changed this game, players got complacent (and I'd argue manager too) and Swansea have had a shedload of luck.

We didn’t look like at leeds scoring neither have we tonight from open play. In fact bar Dack two mins ago I don’t think we’ve created a clear cut opportunity tonight.

Being one of our better players over the 90 minutes 

[davulsukur]

Good finish from the lad. 

Not sure why Bennett stopped tracking

[Husky]

Mowbray sucks at Player Manager.

I hope he gets hold of Gamesmaster before West Brom away.

[Doaksie]

Well, if you're short on confidence and need a revatilising win - we are always happy to oblige. 

We didn't appear for the second half at all. 2 games in a week at that intensity is always beyond us. 

Rothwell runs like a gazelle without a care in the world. Love his driving play.

No. Got totally battered by Fer second half. Looks short at this level

Can you play CF to a Championship level?

[bluebruce]

A previously poor QPR team are hitting form at an unfortunate time too, only a couple of games away.

[rovers11]

Rodwell showing his not a centre half. Being pulled out of position too easily and Swansea playing it into the space left by him being out of position.

The only thing that's changed is that we're bloody knackered.

You can only play a high pressing game for so long - we ran out of steam after an incredibly difficult match on Saturday.

It happens. Take it on the chin and move on.

Right, agree to disagree. Works hard, but superlatives stops there. Brings nothing going forward. Completely loses his man after covering for Rodwell on the third goal.
