Nolan is such an arsehole ... just gifting the ball away.

Has it really been worth it starting Lovenkrands? Absolutely pointless considering how bad the midfield passes the ball. Might as well have two lumps up front.

I feel so bad for our defence. Constant pressure all game. Nothing positive happening ahead of them.

Agree with Jay Jay Sea.

Carroll is an awful awful player.

Fall over, rotten touch, foul defender, argue with ref, rubbish shot. Just repeat that sequence and that is Carroll.

If we are going to lump it forward we need a striker who it will stick with - Carroll is a huge fail in this regard.

If we are going to play through midfield we need central midfielders who are quick of mind and body - Nolan is a monumental fail in this regard.

We are good at neither of these ways of playing and so we have no attacking threat at all.

We are a great defensive team that is going to have to scrap our way out of this league. Grimy defensive performances and nicking the odd goal is our forte.

Van Aanholt deserves to be in a better team. Great looking player.

Smith does a lot of good things with the ball. Actually has some composure and brains when in posession.

Have we ever played Guthrie ans Smith centrally together? Would work well. Really have to get Nolan out of there.

Any combination of players we play is completely pointless and ineffective as long as Nolan is in central midfield.

Why play that fucking long ball when there are short forward options???

It's amazing to see how much of the bad play nolan is responsible for, both going forward and defensively. For the mosst part Smith is at least in the correct position. Nolan is nowhere defensively and loses the ball going forward.

Defenders start diving in because they're getting sick of the ball coming back at them all game.

Be typical of the hippo to score having done nothing all game. Prat.

Smith starts diving in because he gets fed up. For the most part he keeps thing simple and has some nice little plays in midfield, however everyone else just hoofs it long and we lose posession. Eventually Smith just then starts diving in.

That pass along the ground from centre back to central midfield/or a striker dropping off is non existant in our team.

Swansea open up all their attacking play with that little ball. We just don't have the ability in our team to play that ball consistently.

Tragic stuff.

Carroll and Loven are awful at linking up the play. Just terrible.

Loven and Carroll do a terrible job of offering themselves for the short ball, which is probably why they end up getting balls hoofed at them so often.

Nolan playing the role of buffoon again ...

I know Carroll scored a couple of goals that one game, but his game in general can be so urgh!

Smith does a lot of good little things in midfield. Just needs a more dynamic partner in there beside him.

Hughton has f***ed it up again, I see.

As opposed to when he got it perfectly right last game right?

Lovenkrands on the wing then. Urgh.

Let's hope it more of a 4-3-3 and he is encouraged to really push up and drift centrally at times also.

Shola is terribly unreliable.

I think I would have preffered to see Best up there with Loven rather than Carroll, as I think Best does a better job of holding up the ball and bringin others into play.

Hope Carroll does well though.

Unless he's injured it's ridiculous to drop Williamson.

Well, let's just hope it works out. I can somewhat understand where Hughton is coming from, but there is certainly some element of risk with this move for sure.

Think Williamson is just getting a rest. Has played every game since he came in despite being so inactive with Portsmouth. Probably a good idea to be honest.

 

We shouldn't rest any player today. We need a win today. Probably it was really needed, though.

I hear you. But by all accounts Fitz Hall has looked good to, so hopefully no drop off in the defence. Good to have Colo back too.

Dumb article. We are in the championship who the hell do they expect us to sign?
