Swansea City thread

scrappy game, and by the sound of it I havent missed much😉

finishes 1-1 what I saw it was a poor game

level on points now with watford with game in hand and 3 points ahead of brentford, long way to go and those 2 games coming up v bournemouth + cardiff will be crucial 

Brentford win and now in second I feel that place will change hand several times between watford them and swans its really close up there but said it before think this next run of 3 games are crucial for swansea 

run in after that swans have only 2 of top 8 to play- reading and a possibly decisive  massive final day game away to watford 😉

watford- have got cardiff norwich brentford swansea and reading to play (last 2 games brentford and swans should be fun those)

brentford- cardiff bournemouth watford 

status quo it is again at the top and Norwich unless they implode are going to finish top 

Swans with another win but these next 2 games I dont fancy at all and could go either way

Not going well Bournemouth 1-0 up and deserve it  Swans not a shot at this stage….poor and I said earlier felt this was on the cards 

results elsewhere Watford  3-0 up Brentford winning too so would be in 4th if it stays the same cardiff 0-0 v stoke

2-0 first goal was superb second scrappy  OG but  Swans poor here and cant complain, had the luck for a few games recently in terms of pens  etc

Brentford concede a late goal to draw 2-2 only good news for Swans today😁 so will stay in 3rd watford get a thumping 4-1 away win to pull 3 points above in second and with a vastly superior GD Cardiff finishes 0-0

3-0 Swans been giving it a go and concede a knockout on the break…..that will never be offside for me though 2 players well offside in box deemed not interfering VAR may have a different view but once again no complaints at result

norwich cruising again 2-0 up away at Forest and Barnsley keeping up their relentless form and now above Reading in 5th, fancy they will miss out on the top 6 

🤦👎

not going well Cardiff 1-0 up and the better team Swans sluggish once again first half

slight improvement start of second

ayew hits the post…pushing for it now🤞

cardiff defence very impressive Big Mick doing a grand job

swans up to 74% poss and now 16 shots so much improved this half 

whitttiker with big chance but just wide still 0-1

cardiff win said I didnt fancy these 2 games and swans have lost both and now need a very good run in to push for second its still possible but cant see it now

Can’t see anybody catching top 2. 
 

what are your remaining fixtures like?

watford do have on paper a tough looking run in 

Hourihane’s hamstring injury loks like he is out of Ireland squad but unknown how long he is out for yet, bad news this as he has been a big plus so far

watford win again so big game this now v Birmingham away as now 9 points behind with game in hand

playing surface looks poor 

penalty Birmingham he slams it straight at woodman…swans get away with one

0-0 HT Home side slightly better side Swans produced very little

another pen right call

1-0 Birmingham

swans no tempo no creativity another below average performance

 9 points off second place Watford who have won last 7 on the bounce swans on 3 straight defeats 1 win in 5 will just about hang on to top 6 at this rate 

another game= another defeat🤦 in free fall now and said it before it was coming, and will do well to stop this run and try and finish in top 6

much needed win and first goal/s in 5 games😉

much better performance that and deserved win, 2 goals for Lowe too

changed to a back 4 and finally Connor Roberts got a rest, having an outstanding season but cant play them all

League finished with a 2-0 defeat at Watford and so its Barnsley in play offs(tough team to play so make them slight favs)

made my feelings known I do not like the EPL and all it stands for [corporate avarice 🤬] want to see the Swans do well but wont be at all disappointed if they do not go up

what a cracking goal from Ayew but do defenders/coach/scouting staff not watch the opposition play …he cuts in from the right onto his left

IMO he was slightly offside so got lucky the goal was lovely though

Barnsley better team in second half so this is not over…however Swans have 3 clean sheets v them this season🤛

Very well done to the swans they hold on for a draw 1-1 as Barnsley threw everything at them in the end 

Brentford in final and I make them favourites but you never know

Congrats to Brentford fully deserved and wish them well

Swans overachieved IMO getting to the final well down in terms of resources etc and having sold the best player once again, as said earlier in thread wont be disappointed if they didnt go up as I cant stand the EPL 

next season will be a challenge as IIRC there are 8 players out of contract or wont return on loan, fingers crossed for some good free signings and another few top loans coming in
