    Personally don't think Bonne's doing badly.

    I'd happily settle for a point right now.

    I don't think Bowyer would  and that's why I love him.
  • Enjoyable first half. Can see why Swansea are high in the table. I fear we will do well to come away with a point.

    Gallagher my top man so far. 
    Looking at the stats seems like they finished the stronger of the 2 sides...agree a point would be a decent result.
  • Matthews looked ok - more than capable deputy and solid at the back. Gallagher very good yet again.... would like to see Aneke and Williams second half for Bonne and Oztumer (not necessarily straight away together).
  • We are a second half team.

    Bonne and Leko are occupying the same space far too often.
    Not quite on the same wavelength.

    Oztumer is very tidy but cant quite drive at the opposition like Williams.

    Oztumer isn't getting the ball, we're simply not utilising his ability to break out of tight spaces.

    Leko making too many wrong decisions, but that goal...

    So far so good, unlucky for their goal but I am enjoying watching for a change and I am pleased with what I see

    Is everyone watching on Sky got Sky Q or do some have a ‘normal’ box?

    Matthews had a good first 10 mins but has now been sized up by Celina who lòoks very dangerous. Crossbar challenge wins £7k! Need subs on and for them to work better thsn Oztumer and Mathews.

    We have done well so far but I fear they have the quality up front to get more goals.
    Much better attacking players than Leeds have.

    According to audio a kid just won the 7k crossbar challenge.

    Matthews has been an able deputy for Solly IMO  not sure what people are seeing that I'm not :open_mouth:

    We have players able to score too. 

    We wouldn't be in the top third if we didn't.
  • HT 1-1

    Plenty of pretty stuff between the penalty areas but no much end product - both sides culpable.

    Conor is having another ripping game in midfield - if there's a string that needs pulling, he's pulling it.

    Cullen and Field are shielding the back four nicely, Ben Purr and Matthews (steady debut) getting down the flanks often.

    Macca is outting himself about again, winning headers and trying to hold up play but him and Leko aren't always on the same wavelength.

    Leko is having a standard Leko game: a cracking strike for his goal, a few lovely runs at the Swansea defence, mixed in with frustating decisions on when to pass or not.

    Possession is almost even but the visitors have had more attempts at goal, albeit nothing that's really threatened us. The goal they did score came via a deflection and the match stats per the Sky Sports app had that as off target!

    A sensible approach to the second half, probably involving the unleashing of Mount Chuks after about 60 mins, should see us to at least a point.

    Oh, and there's a Crossbar Challenge winner! 7 grand to a lucky bugger.

    A normal Sky HD box.  Go to channel 401 and then press the red button

    Baston up to today had score 6 out of 10 total shots.

    That's bloody impressive.

    Good old sky +. Why do you ask?

    Bonne is shit
    Asking a lot playing on his own up front.
    He’s not, we’re playing a 4-4-2 diamond with Oztumer just behind and Leko alongside him.

    We've blocked two crosses... Matthews both times.

    Surely not up front by himself - isn't Leko alongside him? 
    Fair enough, not there.

    And we are off for the 2nd half no changes to either team.

    My parents have the same but can’t access it but I think it may be a Wi-fi/internet issue then as opposed to wrong type of box.
  • Second half underway, Charlton attacking the Cupboard End looking to defend my 23 (?) match unbeaten run ...

    Great save from Phillips.
  • Good save by Dillon!

    Swansea have the ball in our net ☹

    But the lino's flag is up! 😀
