Swansea v Blackpool Official Matchday Thread 20.11.21

Swansea pass it well but no cutting edge hardly.

We once on it can compete with even a team like that, with the changes we make were dangerous at the end of games many late goals.
 
Fairly garbage game, but a decent point, against a useful team who rarely lose at home. Looked like a Swansea fan getting kicked out of the ground towards the end. Unless it was an infiltrating Pool fan? Lol.
 
Love the ‘never say die’ attitude from this team. The heads of teams of Blackpool past would have dropped and we’d have lost by more against this Swansea team, who aren’t even that good!
 
A shame we didn't make more of the half chances, bowler in 1 on 1 and his first touch of the game a bad one.

Husband at the end there had a shot and if he hits the target you never know but it ballooned wide.

Also Keshi again with an effort with a little more on it and you never know.

But difficult place to go so a point is good.
 
Good point. Keeps things ticking over, and some big players on their way back.
Play offs still looking an outside possibility, and relegation very much on the back burner.

Good point both teams seemed to cancel each other out. Plus we can now chuckle at that lot down the M55, us having got a draw.
 
Ordinary game. They should have had a penalty early 2nd half but that evens out the awful decisions we had against QPR.

Will always take a point away from home. Great attitude from the team as would have been very easy to give up on that game.
 
although swansea are a bunch of diving cnuts, they are a very good side, ill be very surprised if they are not top 4 at the end of the season. the whole game was a bit stalemate really, and absolute worldy for their goal and a decent take by Keshi for ours.

They were probably better on the ball overall but, but defensively we cancelled them out. If any of their shouts for pens were justified, then we should have had a couple as well. Marv was literally pulled down to the ground at a corner. ref was shit again, but at least he was shit for both team relatively equally.

decent point frankly against a top side.

A good point but even so I don't think Critch got it quite right today.
Gabriel has been one of our best players but was wasted today with the return of Sterling.
I think more than anything that unbalanced us.
It's one or the other and for me that's got to be Gabriel.
Just an opinion. UTMP

I really like Sterling but I agree with your comments, it has to be one or the other and I agree Gabriel as he is outstanding and he's our player. Maybe a completely different position for Sterling? The player who I would be happy to not be in the team is Connolly, I thought he was really poor today.

Yep, they should have had a pen. Might not have scored though. Husband very lucky.
 
Former Prem team. Good set up. Excellent at home. I'm proud of what we did today.
Now, in true AVFTT style....could we have been set up better from the start?
*Hope I don't need a tin hat*.

Fag paper between them, I think Sterlings strength and heading ability marginally better, best two right backs in the league

Agree with this. They defend well and have a nice style about their midfield. Good ball retention and built through to the wide players well too
I think it’s a sign of our organisation skills that they only created 2 chances. Against other teams they could have carved many more chances.
I’ll take the point. I thought they were better than us on the day so happy with a draw overall.

Shayne looked sharp and the King will be ready for Tuesday alongside Wintle (Connelly did fine too as a replacement without Kennys quality going forward)
