Swansea City v Blackburn Rovers : Matchday Thread MATCHDAY ! 19:06 - Feb 2 with 10507 viewsNotLoyal

It’s the visit of Blackburn,we have been here before, expect passing and running, then more passing and running, and then the visitors sneak a goal, that’s what happens. We are not to be disappointed.

A clash of styles : Swansea City v Blackburn Rovers. Plus Paterson latest 4th Feb 2022 08:57
The evening kick off at the swansea.com stadium tomorrow brings together two sides who couldn’t be further apart. With certain selection issues still pending for Rovers boss Tony Mowbray it looks like we could see a very interesting game based on the style of play alone. 0

And Obafemi should have stayed on. Deserved to, Piroe should have gone off.

Hope Obafemi takes it the right way.

A win's a win but let's face it Blackburn blew it ;they had enough chances to put us to sleep.
Cabango,deemed unuitable for centre half was amazing and showed what a true centre half he is yet he is still played out of position by this coach.

Downes ,one of the best moving forward selected a centre half.

Amazing

The irony of today showed what no no nonsense solid defending does but we have a flaky keeper in Fisher ,for sure,and quite we spunked 300k on this fella is staggering.

This performance should show any coach what is what;brave ,committed and solid.

Now ,bring Hamer back and pick Cabango as centre half ;also extend his contract offering more money.We need this guy.

Cabango been immense tonight are you sure Football is the right sport for you?


.

Kinell Max. You're better than that.

Cabango is our weakest link form the off, in a driving possession based team.

He's a CH by trade and was rightly ousted in selection tonight in that space by a midfielder. FFS.

As it happens, CB is Downes' best position in this team (as Grimes is so utterly head n shoulders above him in CM).

The way fwd - Downes CB, Burns RCB, nailed on....

Not a fan of the way we sat back for basically the last 35 minutes. Lucky that didn't bite us on the arse. Again, far too fond of a backwards ball when there's a clear forward option too. Pato did it two or three times. Turned backwards when there was absolutely no need. That needs to be hammered out of them, or at least no longer hammered into them.

Otherwise a gutsy performance and a valuable three points. Wolf will get overlooked by many but he had another good game. Not sure if we play the kind of football he will thrive in, but can't fault his determination.


We sat back after Manning was wrongly sent off, which should be reversed, Martins mistake was taking off Obafemi who was our out ball, you don't take off your fastest player when you down to ten men and need an out ball.

We were better against Luton. Red card obviously plays a part in that, but can't remember any chances apart from the one we scored. Even with two up front the wingbacks approach hasn't been working for us creatively. Wolf not in the game. Players looking up and not seeing options, leading Cabango to try to dribble people in our own half. Very lucky they didn't pack their finishing boots.

Paterson showing what we've been missing. Wasn't good with the ball second half but the difference between him and the others is that the times he gets it right we can often score a goal.

Cabango should absolutely not be playng full back, wing back or anything besides centre half. He gave them 2 gilt edged chances trying to run the ball out, he hasn't the ace or the skill for that.
otherwise thought it was much better, ok we didn't really create very many clear chances but there was more pace in the game and they closed down quicker too. Then the sending off and they all battled hard.
I didn't think Fisher did anything wrong, just like Wolf, he needs a few games to settle in properly, it's a bit harsh to criticise him without giving him a bit of time.
Pato is a luxury player, when he's good he's fantastic but he can be very annoying too. It's clear we need him but we don't need any more of"not being in then right place" so if there's issues then talk them out, don't be "ill" because I'm sure Martin will listen to him. I was one of his biggest critics on here but inside the ground you support the team, on here is where you moan, unless it's about the ref. There definitely needs to be a citing system so blatant cheats can be weeded out.

Just my opinion, but WTF do I know anyway?

Still,we are stuck with him,as we are with Russy.

Disagree Cabango was fine, Wolfie relied on Pato, instead of doing what he did against Luton, Paterson made a massive difference for 60 mins, but he does seems to gas after 60mins, but he was doing that before his downtime, madness to have taken off Obafemi IMO.

Best that everyone puts this episode behind them, he was a massive difference for us tonight. Obafemi should never have been taken off for me though,, never take off a hungry player especially one with great pace. IMO.

When we absolutely dominate games but come out with nothing Martin has to go because the results aren’t there. When we get absolutely trounced with ten men but come out with three points Martin still has to go because on another day we would’ve lost.

He's desperate for us to lose. Absolutely desperate.

We rarely dominate games, that's a myth.

Dominating possession is not dominating the game. I can understand people being unhappy in that instance where the issues aren't looked at because of this false notion that ''we dominated - so therefore should have won''.

3 points is what its all about and you have to get it in a way that gives you the best chance to. So far those instances have been few and far between. When we play a mixed style we usually come away with a result.

Why do you think Fisher is "Flaky " ?, his distribution improved as the game progressed and imo is on par with Hamers , he's under instruction to play out from the back ( something most Clubs now awant their keepers to do ) and I can't recall him making any errors today when you consider the amount of action in his area I thought he did well enough .

He also passes one touch when players are there for him. Four time in the first half he played the ball for Christie to moved on and four times Christie didn’t bother.
Christie had a very odd games.

Prefer Hamer poor judgement to drop him, bigger sise wise and more imposing and decent in commanding his area, Fisher is like Woodman and either stays on his line or flaps at the ball, might be an unpopular opinion, but so be it.

Cabango is so not the CH we need, esp in this system.

We play a CM in the CH space for just that reason.

We should only need last ditch heroic defenders like Cabango if it all goes tuts up. Expect Burns to play RCB in Cabango's place........

It's all about opinions. I thought Cabango was our weekest player today, he gave the ball away to often and was lacking in composure when it was required. He is a decent defender in a 4 but not good enough in the system we play.
