 In depth on the big game : Jones, Sheehan Watson reunion ? The friendships & religion 31st Oct 2025 09:52The Swans will be on their way to London later today to prepare for their EFL Championship clash with Charlton Athletic at the Valley tomorrow (3pm) Interestingly it’s a meeting that has numerous links between the two head coaches of both sides, Alan Sheehan and Nathan Jones. We can add another character to the mix as well.  0
 Swansea City : Big support at the Valley for the Swans today & Kyle Griffiths in memoriam 1st Nov 2025 08:00There seems to far more interest in this fixture for Swans fans than originally anticipated for the big game away at the Valley today (3pm) We are informed although not confirmed that there is pay on the day in an away end that holds 3,000. The Swans took off sale their allocation on Friday morning. There’s no confirmed sales but it is at least 1,500 tickets sold, it could be 2,000. Time will tell. 0
 Swans really should have had all three points at Charlton 1st Nov 2025 20:04Well over two thousand away fans (2.414) were in attendance today to watch the Swans ease their way to an away point at Charlton Athletic. In truth the Swans should have taken all three points with their chances made throughout this game. It has to be said Charlton disappointed but they will surely be happy with the draw ? 1

Frustrating at times, but we stuck at it, for me a few players are like marmite, and today they were on the sour end!
Difference between the top and being good is how you finish, as kids we spent hours just shooting at a wall marked with a goals, from all angles, some cant even hit the bloody wall.

Yep. I'll take a point after a tough game in midweek too.
The amount of simpletons who seem to think that we should have basically gone with the same team after running ourselves into the ground against Man City shouldn't really surprise me at this point, but somehow still does. Sheehan was always going to make changes.
Charlton will be far unhappier with the result than we should be. |
Don't think Chalton deserved more than a point if that.
Nice to see the goal scored with a direct ball through the middle we have started to get a number of goals by varying our play, running at defenders around the edge of the box pushing them back finding the feet of players in the box.
Must admit it was a poor game off head tennis in the first half, once our defensive headers actually got played in to players or spaces we could exploit and we started playing the ball on the ground we looked by far the better team. [Post edited 2 Nov 9:11]

Frustration seems to be the major emotion right now. We're tantalisingly close to being a damn good side. We've got (most) of the players we need to be so, but we're not quite there for mostly avoidable reasons.
When we play well we're capable of being very good, we just don't play well often enough. |  |

Seems impossible to miss from four yards out with gaping net in front of you | |

Someone should emphasise to Sheehan that there are three points for a win and you won't finish in the top half of the table by only getting draws. |  | | |

I had a look at the Charlton forum. Many positive comments on the Swans. Quite a lot stating that the Swans are the best team they have played this year. | | | |

It was actually refreshing to see him visibly annoyed we had not taken the 3 points in his post-match interview. I was fully expecting him to say he was happy with the point, tough place to come etc. | | | |

Opinions eh?
Lucky that most jacks are in a positive mood, most, like myself and the eldest would have snapped your hand off at a point away to a side who have only lost 1 at home in umpteen games.
As was mentioned last night, normally we struggle to get back into the game after going 1 down but we totally controlled the second half, we should have ultimately won it and that shows how well we played.
What really backs up my thoughts about how we played is several charlton fans say that we are the best side they have played and they were lucky to get a point. | | | |

Yes, coming from behind and then dominating is a good way to draw. We should be able to take that into Wednesday and let’s see what we can do. He needs to select the best first XI though and I think we all know what that is just about. It will be interesting to see at 6-30 on Wednesday. |  |

In a way, I was happier with that than the Norwich game.
Obviously points are the main thing, but we’ll win more games over the season playing like we did yesterday than we did last week. | | | |

I emphasised this a few weeks ago . The difference between drawing and winning is massive
not just the fact that 2 points more moves you up the table but the psychological lift it gives you. Players and fans get the " feel good factor " . | | | |

Well the feeling we got from the swans crowd after leaving the game was good. | | | |

It’s a “ positive” that we are or should be a natch for anyone on this league
The “ negative is the fact we’ve not done ourselves justice
Galbraith Widdell and Vipotnik are exciting stand out players | |

Why dont you try and sample a proper live match?
You might see it differently but I doubt it.
I suspect you will bore or p!ss people off with your negativity.
I refer you back to my post about yesterday's crowd, they were very positive because whilst we didnt win, we played very well in the second and they knew that we are on an upward curve. | | | |

Well , if you’re inviting me along then I will consider it
I only drink one small beer these days and hate anyone using the words positive or negative
I don’t mind an argument too
Reading what you post , you don’t it sound welcoming
I’ve got a lot going on here which you won’t be cognisant of but I never miss a game
I see what you see
I feel what you feel
Only love can break your heart
PS , don’t you think my critique of Widdell , Galbraith VIP or Larry is “ positive”
I love em but you seem to be very selective with your posts
You really should try engaging with the enemy
You should know by now I am my own man and will die as such
Nobody but nobody intimidates me physically or mentally
Anyway , look after yourself Eddie back
PPS England RL were terrible
I turned down two tickets to go along .That full back Walsh is something | |

Spot on. Man City showed that. Not trying to name drop, but Gary Monk once told me, the higher you go in the divisions, the difference really is the strikers. We competed well yesterday, but our finishing was woeful and until we sort that out we will be mediocre at best | | | |
