Amen 3-2. Not our best performance overall, but superior in the second half.
Excellent. A class player.Really pleased for Borja, his goals should give him a lot of confidence going forward. How's Ayew doing?
Might have to catch Reading match tomorrow afternoon. Really crucial 3 points today, those home draws aren't going to put Swansea into a playoff spot. Byers and Borja really saving the day. I saw Ayew playing good defense today. 3 minutes into extra time he chased Maguire into the corner for that last corner kick. He played a big role in the winning goal when he cut in and found Bidwell who got it to Borja. I hope Dyer and Kalulu are alright but this team has some depth on the bench. I like Byers, 2 big goals in 2 games.I know it's too early but this looks good
He was so close, went the right way but Johnson got it right in the left corner. I hope we never play a game that comes to penalties because it's the worst part of football, but he gives you confidence.Woody almost got it
I have to mention Bidwell. A lot of our play went through him (had most possession of all our players) and he can cross the ball. AK didn't help him much in the first half, so he was under lot of pressure. It helped a lot when Celina was moved to the left flank.Byers and Borja really saving the day.

Yeah it seemed like Bidwell was involved in almost every attacking play.I have to mention Bidwell.

Bidwell is starting to show some magic, the chipped cross he put on Borja’s head was Montero-esque.
Don't think Kalulu was subbed for injury @KVetch - he was just useless and the tactical change by Cooper at half-time was to replace him on the wing with Celina and put Byers as the playmaker. I guess it worked!! Well done Cooper (and Byers, and Baston and, to complete the B's, Bidwell)!I hope Dyer and Kalulu are alright
I think Boswell has a good kicking game @Borini, just in American Football! Chris Boswell - WikipediaBoswell has the first touch of a rhino.
I guess you mean Bidwell. I must disagree mate. He was by far our best player in the first half. He made 7 clearances (other defenders 2 each), and some of them were crucial; he blocked 3 crosses (he didn't allow a single cross past him, Roberts allowed all); he made 2 last man tackles, and he didn't have a single bad touch in the first half. So, your rhino must be a good defender.Boswell has the first touch of a rhino. He was dreadful , apart from a few crosses.
Disagree again. Instead of "lucky Swans snatch a win" it should say "sloppy Swans almost gifted a win to Preston".Yes we won, but we were lucky. Preston were stronger than us and passed better than us. They stopped van der horn getting the ball, this destroyed our usual passing patterns.
Verdict...lucky Swans snatch a win.
I've looked at it a few times, not a decision I would like to have to make. VAR decision on this would have been interesting.The penalty against Roberts. Foul or Not.
