Swansea are a lovely side to watch. Every player available and willing to take the ball (even the goalie!). Angles being created all the time.
Meanwhile our only creative passes that aren't 30 feet in the air are being played by two of the front three, Tomlinson and Nichols. Every other player is there to stop the opposition.
I keep reminding myself that a) it's only a friendly and b) it's one between a near full strength second division side and a half strength third tier team. Trouble is I fear this lack of any apparent interest in being creative might be the story of our season unless some creativity is brought into this midfield.
On the plus side, Tomlinson showed some good touches and has been lively. Nichols looking lively too. Ogogo putting himself about well.

Just watched their goal on the half time highlight reel (impressed with this coverage from Swansea) what the hell was the keeper doing? He had no chance with the shot but to just throw yourself across the goal with two hands outstretched like that was bizarre. I had to watch it again to make sure he wasn’t trying to catch a rogue pig or something he was that low.

Made me right chuckle looked like he was diving into the pool on his holibobs looks like he cannot or doesn’t like to catch presently either. I hope that improves as flappers are no good for the old heart rate. Not impressed with him at all ... the dive for their goal was straight out of Laurel & Hardy.

Sad to say I didn’t see anything positive in the first half. Keeper looks dodgy, no creativity and no attacking threat.

Has any body got this live, as previously mentioned?? Yes, they are mentioning Tomlinson a lot but that is partly because they seem to think he’s wearing both 68 and 7! They are not too impressed with JVS though...till he finally caught one a couple of minutes before half time. Neither side got out of second gear...but their second gear is a lot better than ours.

Excuse my ignorance, but who’s Tomlinson? He looks fairly decent.

Good commentary.Not impressed with our keeper but likes Sercs and Tomlinson.Thought our keeper's dive when they scored was hilarious.Only shot on target was Sercs free-kick but passing improving later in the game.Impotent up front.Would like to see Deon come on.

Good coverage on Swans website I must have tuned in to a different game to some on here though. I actually think we've done ok so far, they've as you would expect dominated possession but we've restricted them pretty well & the goal apart they haven't created much else. We have been guilty of not keeping the ball well enough at times but we've done ok up til now We have had spells but our most creative player, Sercs is finding the ball v deep. Maybe this is a tactic as Tomlinson is picking the ball up in good areas and creating bits up the top. Fair comment re Sercombe think Tomlinson looks to have a bit about him seems a confident lad not afraid to try things. Not aimed at you but think some people are far too quick to criticise, Swansea are a decent side but our keeper has only made 2 saves & watched a worldly fly in & yet you'd think we were 5-0 down.

Only saw the last 10 minutes and was quite impressed with some of our build up play, unfortunately the final ball and lack of goal threat has let us down.

A worldy .... hardly ! He was so far away from it the Swansea players were laughing, check out Tuttons reaction.

What, worse than Roos against Charlton at home when he dived out the way of the ball?

I think Swansea are playing within themselves. Toying with us really. Looks like men vs boys.

Only a worldy as both Sercs & Upson stood off the goalscorer, when Ogogo closed him down just before half time he put his shot over the stand when he was in a similar position. We're so lightweight upfront w/o JCH it's untrue, surely we can sign a player who can just hold the ball up front for Nichols and Sercs?
