Swansea City 0-1 Aston Villa post match thread

[Tuscans]

Live league table has us 10th, 3 points behind Penis' team in 5th.

Fucking Norwich...3-0 down and now without a couple of minutes of injury time left 2-3.

3-3 Now!

Great... sees us move up another place!

Agree. We need teams between us and Norwich to drop points. Automatic places are gone and playoffs will be a struggle based on the last few games.

With 22 games left you think playoffs will be a struggle....really?

what did I fucking say in the match thread? FFS. It's why that lot and Leeds will go up.

I'm guessing you predicted a draw.

Someone (Tuscan's I think) commented on Norwich going 3-0 down and I just said read the score again at 5 to 5. Or whenever the game ended. Fuck, not often I'm right and I didn't want to be here...

LOL sorry mate

That was mostly a load of shite.  Still, won't sniff at a 1-0 win, but we need too be much, much better than we have been of late.

Automatics aint gone

It obviously depends a lot on what happens in January and thereafter but based on current injury situation, league position and last 3 performances it’s not exactly a gimme.

Agree we’ve lacked quality and energy. That needs to change, and Whelan does nothing.

[Damo70]

It was a scrappy game today but we did the job in the end and that is what matters. I though were were poor in the first half an hour but picked up a bit towards the end of the first half and then I thought we were the better side in the second half.

I will take more shite wins with a clean sheet

The only positive might be that it shows that despite what was overall a below par performance, and with numerous injuries that we can still games against most teams in this league. We are lucky today that Swansea are mostly crap but that's 85% of this league.

[themossman]

I didn’t realise Swansea were that poor tbh. There was a period where they repeatedly got in behind us and blew their scoring opportunities. We didn’t have that much to do with the clean sheet as they did but still I’ll take the win.

[Legion]

Nice way to end the year.

After losing to Millwall we were 3 points off the playoffs, after 12 games under Smith we're still 3 points off. I think we'll make it but I don't think it will be a doddle either.

[ChicagoLion]

I am not Whelans biggest fan but we don’t have any one else fit to do what he does.
We won today in no small part because of the cover he provided in front of the back 4.
Also well done Nyland, he showed today that he can leave his line and gather or clear which I think has been a major weakness.
