We start to slow away from home. Lucky to still have 11 players still on the pitch. If we pick up a bit second half can see us grabbing a few.

Not much fun, this, is it? "Stoke will tear you apart" is doing my head in and as for Gary bloody Birtles, what a miserable negative git.

We're far from out of this but could well find ourselves down to 10 which will mean game over the way they play. The Wilkinson tackle was moronic at best and next one you can guarantee he'll be off. We're dominating the last 15 minutes with no end product- Whelan as usual v a quick midfield is chasing shadows. We gave away a needless penalty and apart from that were reasonabl ok at the back but need to step it up. Wilkinson off for Shotton at HT for me and maybe consider Jerome as the second half wears on down the left.
Average performance but a point there providing no more stupidity

poor first half. better in the last 25 than the first, so a little bit positive lucky to still have 11 on the pitch, that has to stop 2nd half or we won't get in 'em at HT, Tone. We gotta be more at it, we got put in better crosses. smoke, raisin toast. LOTS more boozeDon't think they're allowed to get boozed at half time ;D ;D

Realistically, Whelan will have to brought off as another foul will result in a red. No doubt wingers will be flying at Wilko for exactly the same reason. We have had enough of the game in the last 20 minutes to give us some hope but we don't half make life hard for ourselves.

We've got that " I don't want the ball " look about us today. We couldn't keep the ball if it was sewn into our f**kin shorts.

Birtles has a history of slagging Stoke off, he's a plonker. We have had the better of the half apart from the first ten minutes, but haven't really created anything. We'll have to watch out in the first few minutes of the 2nd half, as I reckon they will be out to get someone sent off, and we are doing our best to help them. We have had pressure but there is no co-ordination in our play. We are just hoping something will drop for us.

It's been a shocking first half and although we got better as the half wore on, we were still absolute shit. Kicking the fuck out of them and not keeping possession or putting 2 passes together, never mind creating a chance.
That said, I think they are extremely dodgy at the back and with the bollocking TP will no doubt dish out we could well get something from this game.

sorry but Delap on the left equals defeat every time. The guy looks like hes just run a marathon and is blowing out his arse. Hasnt even got the strength to deliver the throw ins with pace

Why do we always see this type of away performance though - it takes us to go a goal down before we start to even get into the game. Surely by now we should know that we need to play for the full 90 minutes. How the hell can we go from a performance against Manure to a performance like this ?

Better team. Swansea not had a shot on target after penalty. Shawcross needs a good kicking for that tackle. No need to make it at all. Need Jeromes pace up front. If we lose to this shit we need stuffing.

From BBC Swansea 1-0 Stoke Aled Williams' HT snapshot: "The half-time whistle couldn't have come quickly enough for Swansea. Having started brightly and taken the lead on 8 minutes, the Swans have had to endure a period of constant Stoke pressure as Tony Pulis' side flexed their muscles with quite a few tasty tackles."

this is far from over - we're traditionally shit in the first half away, tony will bollock them at half time. Apart from the goal they've not really threatened to score, on another day walters or rorys might have hit the onion basket. I think we'll get a quick one after the restart and then the swans will crumble and we'll win this. In fact I'm so confident I've put some dosh on it at 10-1 which is on offer at betfair. ;D
We've not played well but we finished that half on top and hopefully will bring our A game to the second half.

That said, I think they are extremely dodgy at the back i thought their centre back - Monk, is it? - had a decent first half. not the tallest, but his position has been spot on. we don't have a left side to get at their right back and that is making it easier for them jimmy pennant has to do better with his final ball - especially corners much improvement needed, but we aren't out of it

We're really missing Fuller in away games. We very much rely on someone making something from nothing. Crouch isn't that sort of player.
