Last season we gave away lots of goals by playing it out from the back. As soon as we revert to this tactic at the start of the second half we give away a goal to kill the game. Of course it was just after half time after conceding with seconds to go before half time...sounDS familiar? I just felt after having all the play in the first half if we didn't score then we would be made to pay for it,and so it prover. It felt a bit like the Bournemouth game again. Morris looks a big unit so perhaps needs to start with Chaplin or Frieser in support. Onwards and upwards!
For the 2nd goal, Solbauer played it forward aimlessly in the air from the right of defence, where it was intercepted and headed straight back down the middle between Mads and Helik, who both hesitated and messed up, gifting it to Lowe. For me, there was too much aimless hoof ball in this game, especially by Kane, Anderson and Mowatt. It made it easy for Swansea to defend.
It always seems to break down in the last third. Although we played well again especially in the first half we never really troubled their goalkeeper apart from that excellent shot in the second half by Callum Britain.
A bit harsh, they weren't playing about, they were trying to get the ball clear and if the Linesman had been up to the job we'd have got away with it.
that lino was pants, we need a speaker in East Stand lower to get him up to speed, plenty of "keep up with game lino", sarcastic cheers when he gets one right "Your a disgrace lino" that sort of stuff
To be fair, he looked to be in a decent position to see it but inexplicably he didn't. Probably got a brown envelope in his boots when he got back to the changing rooms...
I don’t know where this playing about at the back comes from personally, I was sick of seeing us thump the ball away to their players.
