How did Clucas stay on for the entire game??.. I absolutely wanted him hooked, but TBF last 15 minutes I thought he did pretty well.

probably one of the worst teams to prepare a team against as new manager, very unique setup that Swansea have. Thought it was mainly shit first half after going behind. Second half, same until the subs but we still created enough to get back in it, but by christ we look vulnerable at all times. You mean a team in bottom 5 who have won once all season? Them ?

First game I watched at the Brit in ages.
Taylor often stood ahead of Flint,why? Looked like it was begging for them to get someone behind him. Never noticed when I was watching on the screen.

That was actually enjoyable. It didn’t feel hollow. Subs made the difference. Not perfect and lots to work on but Jesus it was nice to enjoy a game. I agree good game to watch and we had a right go to get back into the game, you could tell the crown got right behind the lads

Surely Clarke is the right back when fit else why bring him in? He’s not a wing back.

Very poor tonight and lucky to get a point. Improved slightly second half but no point having 3 strikers if the players firing the ammunition consist of Clucas and Thompson. Thought Smallbone, Tye and Fosu improved us when they came on. Cant help thinking when we have our best players come back we'll be twice the side and results will come but till they do it'll be a bumpy ride. That central 3 needs to change next game unless we want more of the same. I just dont see what Clucas contributes he's invisible all game. Hats off to Bonham I think he's a lot better than people give him credit. If we are looking to improve tomorrow we have to bring in a DM like the guy from Celtic and a CB as Taylors pace really worries me. Agree with Most of your points but we weren’t very poor. We had a right go in the 2nd half and had 20 efforts on goal and missed some sitters Thought we improved but dont remember there keeper having to make a save of note.

Quiet underrated performance, but he was very good I thought. They seemed to be at Wilmot's side more but Fox also almost scored.

I felt the same I actually feel uplifted and positive after that because it was a good game to watch and I cant remember that last time I thought that. I think it's going to be so much better.

I think we created some very good chances overall and should have scored a couple.
However I feel Swansea also could have scored more and it was more their final ball letting them down.
Would have felt hard done by with a loss. Still feel we should have scored more but will take a draw.
Still alot of top players injured. Keep the faith.

That’s my point, Flint and Campbell missed the target from 5 yards each. Anyone a point gained at the end always feels better

They walked through the midfield like it wasn’t there all game, Flint has a head like a 50p piece. Other than that I’m lost for words… just glad that we didn’t lose it.

They tend to play better away from home - only 1 point in 3 games at home

Improved second half but wouldn’t say he was good If we're playing 4 at the back he's decent enough, better than Tymon there.

That was absolutely rancid.
Alex has got a big job on his hands.
Also I’m pretty sure giving birth to a child, raising it and then waiting for it to die of old age is quicker than Aden Flint.

I thought Taylor was poor tonight giving the ball away. Flint was would and a rock tonight. I like him Yes Flint has had two great games apart from his header from 5 yards but suits him in a four and Willmot was excellent when he went to centre half. That will be the pairing at Reading and Fosu will start

I think I'd prefer 4-2-3-1.
We've been playing with Baker as the lone sitter and he doesn't get in enough space to let us play through the middle. I think I'd like two CMs buzzing around to offer options soemtimes.

Fox out, Taylor out, Clucas out, flint out All shit players Alex Neil will sort this shit team out by next season

I don't think 3 forwards suit our play, as it is being played at the moment, will/may change over time, there's no service to them! You would think a trio of Gayle, delap and brown would at least get 1 ! But no, Campbell has to start for me, in a 2 up top, like to see fosu let loose also, better tonight anyway, slightly! Utmp.

I think I'd like two CMs buzzing around to offer options soemtimes. Baker seems to be doing too much work. I like when he's freed up. We miss Laurent, but kilkenny and smallbone in the middle could help. Clucas and Thompson mentioned shouldn't happen again this season.

I like him Taylor looked brilliant early on but it was the right call to hook him IMO.Hope it doesn't hurt his confidence, I'm convinced there's a top player in there but young lads can need careful tending.
