Some good play down the middle and on the left side but as usual the crossing of the ball is slow and ponderous. |  |

Poor first 30
Very poor second 30
Yes it's early in the season build up, but some basic stuff not being done very well
A thunderbolt second goal but both goals have been poor defensively.
Players not available would hopefully make a difference but the attitude seems the same add last pre season | | | |

Cullen and Cooper on the pitch the same time doesn't bode well for the season. |  | | |

Dear me. I know it's a pre season boys but at least look as if you know what you are doing. | | | |

I know it's a pretty season friendly blah blah blah, but this is seriously shocking |  | | |

They won’t care as much as us suffering on YouTube.
But seriously, this final 30 highlights the fact that there is not the technical ability with some of them. Loose passing, lack of control all on show. We’ve not got anywhere near their goal.
I only hope Matos knows what he’s doing and is looking for things we aren’t.
Good save Farman! | |

We played that last 30 as if we were protecting a 2-0 lead.
It lacked so much.
Excuses can be made for lack of fitness but not lack of ability nor lack of effort.
Maybe they’ve been told to play at 75% or less but if not… | |

We are not very good. |
We weren’t even good enough to call not very good
I hope Matos isn’t doing a Sheehan
Why won’t the club just come clean on Zan , if he’s off ,say so , don’t take the piss out of people who put money in the club season after season
Not filling me with confidence or hope | | | |

Ronald doesn’t seem to have improved. |
Ronald , Key, Cooper and Cullen - four players I really hoped wouldn’t start. Cullen in particular boiled my piss tonight along with Cabango. We were dreadful with no idea going forward. Must drastically improve - they were bang average and still win 2-0. | | | |

Fulton was head and shoulders above everyone bar Tymon.
Any semblance of structure went with them.
What can you possible learn by playing so many youngsters without experience to guide them.
Last season we had the comments of its all about game time.
Well no the attitude and the will to win has to be there as well | | | |

Udinese next hopefully we will be putting out an 11 that will be close to a starting line up and we certainly step up a gear |  |

Personally I wouldn't read too much into it.
All about improving fitness levels innit?? | | | |

Full match report, exclusive pics, teams and assessment.
#Swans 0 #VFLBochum 2
Plenty of things for #Matos to think about before Friday.
That’s here this evening —>  Swans sunk in Austria : Still no Vipotnik 21st Jul 2026 20:04The Swans were capably defeated this evening in the beautiful setting of the Fussballplatz Mittersill in Austria. The Swans coaching team would have learned a lot from this friendly from effort, fitness, determination and awareness of course. However, it wasn’t a good watch.  0

Cullen calling for the ball and consistently passing the ball backward running around like a girl flicking his hair. There must be some mug out there willing to sign him. 🙏 |  | | |

He will never leave they will have to sack him.
Inoussa had a bad one too. | |

Cullen is not good enough, Cooper is not good enough. We know this already. Key is capable and Ronald is patchy.
Still just a friendly though. Nothing matters until Stoke (A). |  |
| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |

Genuine question Keith. Is it purely the Welsh factor to why Cullen is not moved on? He isn't that expensive either? Maybe I have answered my own question
But I just don't see a player who can take us up to the next level. Also Cooper has had a massive drop off for a few years, from being called up to Wales to being on loan and now looking to leave. We got to at least move Cooper, Key and few others. Ronald as well, how many lives does he have? | | | |
