  1. Felt like there was only one more in it. Has to be us in future, can’t be conceding late at home against fucking Preston Nob End if you have ambitions of top 6. Hope JDT has a bollocking in him.
  2. Siggy to come off for Leonard, he’s a passenger tonight. Ben Whiteman, there. Another instance of being second-best to a handful of youngsters.
  3. Late chance aside, Moran has been poor. He looks really good with time and space but Preston are on him, Potts has him under a lot of pressure and he can’t really handle it. That’s alright, it’s part of learning and a reason why he’s come out to us on loan, but he’s going to need to find the space if he’s going to have a consistent effect. Trav wildly out of position for their goal. I don’t think the risk is worth the reward when he commits. He wants to drive us forward and that’s understandable as captain but he can’t leave a hole that big. If he’s in position there, I think they don’t get a real sniff this half. They’re not ahead on the balance of play, just one individual error. I love Scott Wharton but I don’t want to see an Adam Wharton tribute act from a stout centre half. He’s been very effective aerially but he is trying to play a level above his ability with the ball at his feet. Needs to be a lot simpler with the ball. Tronstad is consistently playing well and you can see the player that was signed coming through. Just needed to get up to speed. A few look tired, you can see how many minutes they’ve played as a stretched squad. I’d like to see Leonard for Moran if Moran can’t find any space in the first ten, pull Siggy across to the left and Dolan to the right. Interplay between Szmodics and Siggy is more effective from the left.
  4. Norwich are very poor, they’ve had a lot of half-opportunities since the sending off, but nothing major. Clean sheet here would be a major bonus. Trav on was the right call, think JDT had it spot-on today. Shame we’ve not been able to absolutely bury these, but a good win on paper and we’ll take it.
  5. Looks like we’re seeing the half out, but one more and the fans will be absolutely howling. Worth pushing for, they won’t recover from it. James Hill has been an excellent loan signing so far, very assured at the back, both CB and RB.
  6. Properly dire now. Leonard’s chance was a big one (had a carbon copy against WBA first game of the season) and that was what we needed. I don’t think there’ll be another one, here. Swansea have managed the second half pretty well, but we’ve let them off here. Could argue two of our early first-half chances put away and this one is dead. Unfortunately, like life, football matches are defined by big moments and their outcomes.
  7. I was hoping for them to do a lot better than this.
  8. Lot of frustration, concentration is lapsing. Shape has been a bit too fluid for the position we’re in. Subs have been willing but difficult to come into that when the others have all been booked and are panicking. Think it’s a mentality thing, but you’re right, it’s concerning. Suspect it can be chalked off as a danger of having such a young squad.
  9. I think Swansea won’t survive a goal back here, whatever spark we can find, we can turn them over. Having said that, we won’t survive a second. As ever, “next goal is crucial.”
  10. Gonna give Scott Wharton the benefit of the doubt with that, given he’s recently been kicked in the head.
  11. Well, that half time team talk hasn’t had the desired effect.
  12. Probably wouldn’t pull anyone at half time, but set them back on the right course (how we started) and see how it develops. No improvement from JRC and Sigurdsson, I’d swap for Adam Wharton and Leonard, with Dolan moving out wide left. If Brittain’s struggling, maybe Ennis for him and Dolan on the right.
  13. Didn’t think an Icelandic footballer wouldn’t fancy a rainy day in Lancashire, but he doesn’t look like he’s enjoying himself at all. Seems very disengaged, almost unfit?
  14. Yeah, conditions can’t be helping but even still, some poor play has crept in.
  15. Agreed, having a good game. Looking assured so far.
  16. The effective press we had earlier this half has been scuppered by the goal. Sigurdsson, JRC and Brittain aren’t supporting it.
  17. This is a radically different game if that first chance gets put away. Players just look to have switched off the past 6-7 mins.
  18. We do not look excellent here. They probably should’ve had both the offsides, the second one looked iffy and we haven’t responded. Wasteful, really.
  19. Staggering. Excellent build-up, Swansea were all at sea, but a staggering miss.
  20. Hope the boys do her proud on the pitch today. Best wishes to you.
  21. Looks like he could be the focal point up top (good touch, fairly intelligent, holds the ball up well) but our midfield do not appear to know how to use him at all.
  22. Dolan having a really good half here, some excellent work. Trav has been far too gung-ho, he’s causing huge problems for some tired legs around him. Can’t fathom why he hadn’t been told to pair up with Tronstad and support the full backs.
  23. JRC tired here, head down when he receives the ball, instead of seeing the through ball. Switch for Adam or Trav.
