Watching the goal highlights, delightful goals. Lowe, Tymon, Abdulai and Walsh took the game by the scruff and turned it into something to remember

Lowe … do we make an offer or not. He is out of contract at Bournemouth
Like the curate's egg - good in parts but, for once, our good part was putting the ball in the net and I'm absolutely chuffed! 
Perhaps four goals did flatter us in terms of the overall play and Terriers might have got a couple themselves but I'll take it all day long. I think Sorba Thomas could be a useful addition for us next season and he might want to come if his team goes down. He's very industrious, can pick a decent cross, has a little bit of flair and is a Welsh international, albeit in a bit-part role so far. What do you guys think?

Totally agree.
Maybe not a great game or performance but very satisfying that we scored 4 away goals and didn't allow Terriers so much as a shot on target. Let's hope that we maintain that miserly defensive attitude in the remaining games and look to build momentum for next season. Some stats:
POSSESSION: 32-68 SHOTS: 9-19 OT: 0-7 CORNERS: 4-7 FOULS: 15-11 GOALS: 0-4
Lest we forget, Huddersfield are in very real fear of relegation and would have dug deep trying for a result. That probably meant it was a tough game out there and I think the lads handled it very well. Been giving them pelters lately but more than happy to hand out praise when its deserved.

This is easy to say after that goal, but regardless I consider Walsh to be the best midfielder in the club by far. If only he could stay injury free. I think he's worth a pay-to-play or 6-12 month incentivised contract for next season to see if he can put the injury stuff behind him.
I've read Lowe's wage demands will be problematic but I guess we'll see. I think Sorba Thomas is a decent shout and I want to see Placheta get a new contract because he offers a lot which Swansea don't have (injury-prone caveats considered).
Not sure what the club's going to do for a striker. It says something when a team wins 4-0 but doesn't score its first until the 73rd minute, and then three of the goals are scored by subs. Can't believe Myk is still frozen out. I've always been a Cullen fan, and I'm happy to see he's finally getting that run of games as #9, but he's missing sitters.
Assuming Williams will only play one striker at a time, does he stick with Cullen, hoping he can find some composure over the summer? If Williams finds a new starting striker, Cullen won't want to drop back to the bench. Stick or twist?

Starting next season we have Ginelly, Ronald, plus a #9 and #10 to lead the way. At his age Lowe needs to be realistic in terms of money and demonstrate he can be in that front line. Cullen has to start hitting the target. Yates is a bench player for me. Myk has looked the part whenever he has been allowed to play and he did score a true #9 goal in his first appearance from the bench.
Walsh is the conundrum. Is he playing above his mean to get a contract and what we receive next season would be less, or are his recent performances what we can expect. Definitely has to start ahead of Fulton for the rest of the season.
Abdulai was involved and assisted on 2 goals from the right side; simple quality. Expecting bigger and better contributions next season.
