    Just a reminder that it's pre-season for everyone: players, refs, commentators, SDAddicks who were supposed to get up at 6am to take the dog for a walk before kick off but who slept through their alarm. Twice.

    FFS... Instead of giving away a throw in we've given a bloody corner

    1-0 ... OG but all down to Morgan
    We don’t need another striker own goals gonna be our new secret weapon?

    Swansea showing some classy build up but being matched so far, Stockley seems to be slower than usual into tackles, probably being on a yellow don't help!!

    Just seen the first of Leaburn who did well to hassle Darling

    A lot is going through CBT, but had forgotten that Miles was playing until that moment

    Clever play from Leaburn with a lovely turn and run, but Stockley unable to reach the resulting cross

    Don’t worry lads we’ve got Aneke who can cover if Stockley gets suspended for 15 mins of the 3 games

    Another bit of good play from Leaburn to collect a long ball from Wollacott.

    Uses it to turn Norton (their FB), and go on a run, but his low ball to Stockley in the box results in a heavy touch.

    If this 1st 20 mins is the template for our football this season, I'll be happy.

    Another good long ball from Morgan, CBT tries to score on the volley, but the shot goes over

    Seen the starting eleven and the bench for today. 
    It leaves me worried if that is the likely starting line up for the season. The bench relying on far to many youth players.
    You do remember 11 players played yesterday? 
    Main ones being 

    Macca
    dobson
    aneke 
    gilbey 
    Kirk 
    DJ 
    lavelle 


    I do rambert that. But you would expect that the Swansea game would see the team that is expect to start the season play.
    Playing Wellingbehid closed doors would seem to be saying you will not be first choice for the season.
    It might be what you would expect - but that's not what Garner himself said a couple of days ago.
    He said he'd more or less decided on around half a dozen names to start at Accrington, and the other places were still up for grabs.

    Then he concluded by saying that no player could be certain of starting and that it depended on who impressed during the friendlies.

    Yeah, it's my concern with Stockley. When he plays up front on his own he can become isolated because he's not the most mobile and his touch isn't automatic. 

    That said, we're not going to play many if any, teams with Swansea's technical quality in the league. So it's unlikely that we'll have to sit deep and defend for such long stretches as we do today.

    This Swansea team look just like Russell Martins MK Dons team.

    Lovely on the ball when they get in the flow, but you can get them to make big mistakes early on if you press well.

    Only halfway through the first half but we look really composed. Even if a pass goes astray, there’s a calmness about us in dealing with it.

    Does Morgan look comfortable in this setup?

    Swansea showing us the Garner way of playing, but we are in there and matching them..sometimes.. B)

    Best chance from Swansea who break, their player (Grimes) shoots on the edge of the box, deflection sends it just wide for a corner

    Albie seems to have found a role in a system that let's him use his range of passing. He has the skillset to be a good midfielder at this level. It's just always been an issue of him putting it all together and finding a role that suits him. Would be great to see him do well.

    It might just be me, but I genuinely can not warm to him.

    Heavy touch is putting it mildly, if he done it in the other box we'd call it a thumping clearance

    Too busy trying to figure out how he was going to beat the defender breathing down his neck, he took his eye off controlling the pass.
