Vital 1st Team Regular
Ribeiro ball watching
We looked like a proper competitive championship team tonight and deserved at least a point. I thought we were the better team.
Agree with most of that, the only bit I would take issue with is that we will never be a "proper competitive championship team" until we get a proper centre forward to replace Grabban who has clearly lost interest otherwise I agree we do at leat look able to compete with the better sides. Cafu was good toninght, and we certainly didn't deserve to loseSwansea have beaten us three times but only deserved to once.
Never in a million years did they deserve to win that match. They were incredibly poor and had winners luck; winning becomes a habit and you find a way to make it happen when when you don't deserve to.

I expected nothing from this so I'm delighted to get a performance out of it
Thought we were quite good, you can just see that certain members couldn’t wait for us to concede so they could whinge. I think it was quite telling that the new signings looked lively and dangerous, while the players like Lolley and Grabban offered little.
I thought Cafu was outstanding, Knockaert was very bright, and Krovinovic very tidy. We did enough to score, but Grabban blew a 3 on 1 and we all knew the outcome from there. But we played the better football and had the better chances.
Obviously, it would have been more meaningful to win. The last two matches were promising in terms of performance, but worrying for their lack of goals. If you score 0 goals across 180 minutes, 1 point is about what you’re going to get. We need more creativity in midfield.
I am proper proper gutted. It’s the first time in a long time that I thought we deserved to win a game.
Yes.
Ayew is better at it and has a higher hit rate
How’s the bride mate?I do think it's partially confidence and mentality. We set up not to lose rather than to win games and that transfers to the players when we get opportunities.
Not always the best yardstick but I've never seen a player so detested as a cheat as Knockaert amongst opposition fans.

Not a fair comment on that performance.
We set up to not concede and Swansea looked shot by half time. Just needed Knockaert's shot to dip a couple of inches and go in.
Second half we made several good chances and looked like the home side. We were the only side who looked like winning till that late sucker punch.
we can lay to rest CH saying we go out to win every game, we certainly did not for the last two, be that right or wrong. One point and no goals is the outcome, deserved or notI do think it's partially confidence and mentality. We set up not to lose rather than to win games and that transfers to the players when we get opportunities.
With Blackburn, Rotherham ,Derby and Luton coming up, we need to get at least 7 or 8 points to drag us away from having to look down.
