RIP Swanselona .... Swansea the only team that can underwhelm and disappoint with a win.
As I mentioned, a set piece following a spot of brilliance from Brewster. But I have to say that Brewster is an instinctive rather than a clinical finisher. When he has time to think about it, he often cocks it up - and that miss could have cost us two points today. At 3-0 we would have been cruising looking to improve our goal difference instead of having to endure a nervy last 5 minutes.
Is Byers fit? He didn't play much of the game but when he was running it was more of a jog - as though he was running on loose sand. He failed to track a ball he lost and we conceded a goal. Haven't changed my opinion about us not making it. Cooper is not good enough hence we are not good enough. Period.

Steve Cooper hails "excellent" Swansea after victory over Sheffield Wednesday - Sports Mole
"Excellent Swansea?" Good Lord Coops is way up his own hoop.

We should have a BoBo v Andy Pandy competition ... who is worse and why. It's touch and go! Rogers' blarney was somewhat entertaining. Bobo's blathers were expected nonsense ... we knew he was over his head; he knew he was over his head ... what else could he do. Andy Pandy needs a straight jacket. Did he really mean to play 3 at the back with 2 wing backs. Whether he intended it or not that's what we played ... or that's what the players did with the names he put on the team sheet ... even though it took them a good part of the first half to sort it out, especially Routs.
Today we played against a Monk team, playing their best rendition of Monk-ball and we struggled woefully. I will leave the statistical breakdown in the capable hands of others. At the final whistle, even the commentators proffered casually, as if it really needed to be said at all, that we won despite one of the worst displays of the season and Wednesday should be disappointed that they didn't get at least a draw. I guess Andy Pandy wasn't watching or listening to the match commentary, and at this point figures that honesty is definitely not the best policy.
Like cars, when its blowing black smoke out the back end, you don't need to be a Ferrari mechanic to know its broke, it's going to be expensive, and you start wondering where you can apply the duct tape to get it to behave well enough to flog it to somebody else. Andy Pandy doesn't own duct tape and if he did ... he doesn't have a clue where to apply it.

And as for Woodman ... I think any notion that he's on his way to being a top keeper is just daft. Can Bender or Mulder possibly be any worse, surely if only by some fluke they could be better.
Thinking back, given that the team was so disrupted at the back by injury, it was no surprise that SW got the better of the first half. Mind you, most of their threats came down the flank where Routs was struggling badly. That has to count against Cooper because anyone on here could have told him that Routs never could defend worth a jot....... and at 35 he's even worse!
In fairness, we had better balance second half doing enough to edge the win. And if Brewster had put away that one-on-one, we'd have been cruising it at 3-0. Michu would have slotted that with his eyes shut. Not being critical of Rhian because he's more than helping our cause with his goals but I think he knows that he missed an absolute sitter there.
Some stats:
POSSESSION: 53-47 SHOTS: 7-10 OT: 4-3 CORNERS: 5-8 FOULS: 12-20 GOALS: 2-1
Note the foul count. Indicative to me that we were exerting sufficient pressure to draw that many fouls out of them. But I just wish that I could see the team playing with more urgency and intent. Our snail's pace football is so easy to deal with and we need to up our intensity big time.

Don't think any managers ever saw more 'positives' in a performance than Brendan. "I took a lot of positives from that game".
Think the first use for duct tape with Cooper would be across his pockets.
There was some satisfaction from beating Monk, but to have done it more convincingly would have been much more rewarding, not just beat him but slaughtered him.
