A trip to the Royals

Seriously though, what is Swansea's plan for Andy Carroll, a striker who scores on Swansea like it's his birthright? First he's given space to score the goal and then mis-matched against Fulton for the pen. Whatever happened to man-marking? Zonal is trash against a machine like Carroll because he has a highly developed and specific skill-set that needs particular attention. You can't pass the buck down the line whenever he moves, as the next defender might not be able to handle him. Put Cabango on a huge clean-sheet bonus for one game and tell him all he has to do is glue himself to Carroll. Then play 10 v 10 for the rest of the game.

What's with our fcuking defence? Benda's punch wouldn't have knocked out my granny and Fulton must have thought he was playing for the Ospreys! Cooper also gave away a foul in a stupid position.

Ref is the same tosser that ref’d the infamous Scunthorpe league cup game in 2009. Sent 3 of our players off.

I was there and, in my opinion, the guy is a grade A arsehole in footballing terms. Terrible ref but he was right to give both the pen and the free kick here.

I was there too. At the end of the match Sousa and Monk had a verbal to do in the middle of the field. Scunthorpe kicked more of our players than they did of the ball.

Dodged a bullet on the penalty, and we’re in our preferred position of being down 1 at half time.

Couldn’t be better 🙄

Usual story. Lots of possession and no fcuking goals! :( Add our customary defensive blunders to give them a goal and a pen and we are losing to a team we should blow off the park. :mad:

How did Benda save that smash from Miete? We can't create a chance, defenders can hardly clear it out of our own half. Sadly have to agree it's the usual story. I don't know if a few transfers can fix our problems. Yet we can score 3 goals in a half against Coventry.

What will Martin do now. Sori is having a tough time. Manning is being shutdown quickly and doesn’t have the tools to beat defenders like a winger does. Cooper is being kicked to shit every time he looks at the ball. And, for all of our set piece coaching we continue to get mis-match assignments when defending set pieces.

and the only time I hear Piroe’s name is when he’s a day late on a cross.

A Martin special. A totally stupid and futile goal kick that would have got us all reamed out when we were playing gifts a goal.

why don’t we just quit fucking around. Spot the other team 2 goals from the kickoff then we can start playing 90 minutes of football.

and now we bring on Paterson …. Fat lot of good thet’s going to do
