Wish Granted.Could do with Reading turning the scum over, in doing that would knock us off the top, but Ide take that.
And both show Smith as the worst! He is deadweight on this team for the last three weeks, Hardly hear his name and he adds nothing. Fulton should be in the team and leave Smith on the bench (or even off the team sheet for a week to wake him up). Now we see why Bristol let his contract peter out.Here are SofaScore and Whoscored ratings. Both agree Ayew and Bidwell were our best players today.

There’s always a reason if you wait or better still look deep enough beforehand... Now we see why Bristol let his contract peter out.
Now THAT'S damning with faint praise!As for Smith, I agree he hasn't contributed much in the first thee games, but, on the other hand, he hasn't done much wrong.
I was cautious. At the time I made that comment I hadn't watched the replay in slow motion yet. I watched it this evening, and now I have to apologise to Korey Smith for saying he hasn't contributed much yet. He was actually excellent against Wycombe.Now THAT'S damning with faint praise!
We are pretty emotional when we watch the Swansea games, and when something in a game doesn't go the way we would like it to go, then we tend to blame the players, and not the system. How many times have we shouted "Bring Fulton, Cullen etc. in"? The trouble is they wouldn't have changed anything against Preston and Birmingham because our style of football was poor and where none of our midfielders and attackers contributed much, not only Smith. Against Wycombe, on the other hand, the whole team played excellent football, and if Ayew had been more focused we would have scored 6,7,8 goals.Why persist with someone who's "not done much wrong" when you can bring Fulton off the bench, someone who previously has done something right!
Hmmm ... So, according to Sofascore and WhoScored pretty well the rest of the Swans were sublime then as they all played far better than Korey?I watched it this evening, and now I have to apologise to Korey Smith for saying he hasn't contributed much yet. He was actually excellent against Wycombe.
