Away in the Robins nest again , FA CUP 3rd round.
- Thread starter The Blobster
- Start date
So Piroe gets a goal and Cullen an assist. It was a gift but at least both players were lurking with intent and add to their partnership stats.
If we get through it's either Chesterfield or WBA at HOME. Very winnable so plenty of incentive in the replay.

Is it me or has Manning throttled back a little since Christmas

His challenge for the header was weak to say the least.
Might just be fatigue catching up. He probably runs more than anyone else every week.

Martin must be reading our forum .... in his post-match for the cup-tie, Martin actually used the phrase "there are no round pegs playing square holes". (3:40). We've been barking about that for months and months.
And we also "need more options up the top end of the pitch" (3:55) ... No shit. He had Flex and was reticent to use him.

Russell Martin hails importance of experienced Swansea City midfield trio | Swansea
Swansea City head coach Russell Martin is pleased to have found a way to get the midfield three of Joe Allen, Jay Fulton and Matt Grimes on the pitch at the same time, and believes they can have a big impact playing together over the remainder of the season.

Read his comments about Fulton. Did he never watch any video of the Cooper season when he arrived? Was he so blinkered by his arrogance that he couldn't notice what we knew and we've been stating all along. It boggles the mind that for most of last season he had Fulton pinned to the bench or sometimes sitting in the stands.
Martin argues that Flynn Downes did so well that he kept Fulton out of the side. The same Downes that's now been riding the bench this season at West Ham at 23 ... whereas Fulton was starting in the Prem at a much younger age.

"Martin was especially keen to praise the impact of Allen who brought energy and combativeness to his side, and the trio were effective again in the Swans' dominant first-half display at Bristol City in the FA Cup."
And as long as Allen was on the pitch we looked great. When he was taken out we looked like crap.

Allen provides four things: technique, movement, vision and surprisingly muscle. He never bottles a 50-50, and through technique almost always emerges with the ball. Puts everyone else to shame … only Fulton approaches the same willingness to apply himself physically.
