Good win and let's hope it proves a launch pad for a realistic tilt at the top six. Hope Fulton's appearance is a clue that he's staying. Cameron Tosh said that he's a good player and that he rates him. He added that sometimes even good players don't suit a particular manager but maybe, hopefully, Martin might change his mind. Thing is, with the tight-fisted owners we've got Martin will have to sell before he can buy, in which case, Fulton is gone. :(

I would say that we now have a bevy of quality midfield players.

Grimes clearly a dominant player, but could do more still I think.

Downes is starting to show some real poise and class.

Wolf is going to be exciting to watch.

Nthcam is going to have to up his game to start regularly.

Smith has competition to start - he cannot loiter with intent to do nothing any more.

Fulton - say no more - why was he not in the mix all season.

Notice ... I didn't mention Patterson. Frankly, not bothered one iota whether he ever plays again or not. More than happy to let him sweat out his time with the kids - perhaps they'll teach him a proper attitude - I would prefer Wolf to Paterson on that left side on today's showing.

Quick turnaround, QPR Tuesday Hull Saturday. I hope fitness won't be an issue
There were a number of players struggling towards the end. Piroe was tanked by the 70th. Christy was on his last legs before 80 - understandable.

Surprised by Ntcham's lack of pop in the first half. Wolf made a night/day difference. I was hoping that Wolf/Ntcham would be the preferred pair behind Piroe going forward. Perhaps Joseph can fill one of those slots but on the right side as Wolf is clearly a lefty.

Seems to be a bit of an issue every game, yet Martin keeps depleting the squad. 3 games in 8 days shouldn't be a problem, but I think t will, hopefully we'll get though it injury free. Probably see "The Fish " between the sticks in one game, think QPR would be a good test for him if Martin has that much confidence in him.

Some stats from the game:

POSSESSION: 57-43 SHOTS: 10-9 OT: 4-1 CORNERS: 2-9 FOULS: 16-11 GOALS: 1-0

Stats only tell you so much but Preston had nearly as many shots as we did, far more corners and forced us to commit more fouls than they did - an indication of pressure. I didn't get that impression listening to the game and it was obviously a deserved win. Let's hope we can do the business at QPR and I'm looking forward to seeing Wolf in action.

I 'liked' your post in sympathy as it happened to me. And I was in this country!
Did you get a refund Ivor ? I think the expats international connection is a little different, but I'm well used to the logging in procedure as I've used it dozens of times.

I had no problem with my feed (USA). However, if you were unable to login, they should be able to look in their log files and verify the errors to login and stream. Are you dealing with the media company or the club?

Swans TV direct I think Yankee, replies I've been getting over this issue are from Swans TV.

No. I got the stream at the start of the game and then it malfunctioned. I couldn't get it back no matter what I tried. I contacted the club who blamed everything/everyone in the world except themselves and then refused a refund. Pathetic.
