Poor poor performance. Up against it ever since Shawcross put in that needless challenge and gave away the peno. Woodgate is good cover but imo not good enough to start, especially not ahead of Huth at CB.

We are much too predictable away, we had a lot of the game but didn't make hardly any chances, they have mugged us, two defensive mistakes have cost us. Stupid, unnecessary foul for the penalty and a really weak challenge for the second.

If Swansea go down, Sinclair and Dyer look to be good buys

This game shows how frail we really are.... and how much we depend on quality delivery from dead balls.. without it.. we have nothing.... Pennants delivery today was the worst I've seen..

Mid table premier league team loses away game shocker. Are we that naive we don,t expect the odd bad game. or even 2 bad away games in a row. We're eighth for christ's sake

Shawcross & Woodgate again seems to be a reccuring problem

On that performance... its time to try Huth back in the centre of defence with Shawcross...

Bad day at the office. swansea weren't any great shakes and we were very poor, but they reminded me of how we took points from other teams at home in the first year. We wasted an awful lot today and thats the part thats upsetting. Better delivery from the corners and free kicks we had would have resulted in more shots on goal. You don't get anything for hitting the post so we needed to up our chances but simply didn't perform.

Just back after a great journey via the M4 contra-flow!
Great Day out with Swansea Fans we met up with & had a few pints of Tomos Watkins with.... Top chips from Rossi's when feeling peckish.....
.....day ruined by another scratch your head Stoke Away day!
Oh and a footnote for the slight intoxicated Stoke lad who was troubled by the name on the back of my shirt when enetering The Liberty....I am proud to be married into Welsh family as much as I am proud of being a Longtonian born & bred, hence my wife's name on the back of my shirt. Please, next time you see me at an away day call me a "Welsh Cunt" again and I promise I wont just laugh at you as I did this time.

I mentioned this elsewhere......how determined and 'desperate' we were at home in our first years ....how we developed the siege mentality......the Swans displayed similar traits.......but we were aweful!!Delivery from set pieces was woeful today....and Pennant certainly had an off-day......Huth & Shawcross should be re-united as a matter of urgency.....and TP must start sharpening his pencil for the January window!!
