I think after the Man City defeat it could well have knocked the winning feeling out of us. Winning is a bit of a habit and that confidence can easily be lost with a couple of defeats. With Sheff Wed looking strong of late I am not entirely disappointed with the postponement.
We are 8 unbeaten in the league, winning 6 of those, so it’s important that continues. With Sheff Wed out of the way the next block of 4 fixtures look fairly kind, 3 of which are at home.
Forest (h)
Huddersfield (a)
Coventry (h)
Bristol C (h)
8 points from those 4 games and I will be relatively happy. Any less and I think we may have handed an advantage to Norwich (and possibly Brentford if they ever slip up which seems unlikely). |  |

I fancy 10 points, pity Bristol could sack their manager before we play them, they are in a right mess |  |

I guess we'll find out if this postponement is a good or bad thing somewhere down the line. If we have too many games in a short space of time at a crucial point in the season and things don't go well...time will tell I guess.
I suppose a definite plus side is we are well rested for next Wednesdays game. |  |

Interestingly the first of the 4 looks the toughest, Forest have picked up lately & tend not to concede many - win that & 9/10 points could be on. | | | |

Very few regulars played 90mins midweek and we had no injuries or suspensions. The form we're in even with a small amount of fatigue we were still set to beat a team well below us in the league.
As it stands now, we're going to be at least 1 game behind all our competitors at the top for at least 2 montjs and 2 until we face Blackburn. 2 months on is right in the run in, when there will have been more games, maybe more injuries, suspensions and fatigue. This game will be rearranged for a few days after another league game where all our regulars will presumably play. Let alone the psychological implications of playing catch up constantly. If we slip up too that pressure will be exacerbated. Bad news this is. |  |

In the short term it's a good thing then, the team has more rest and more time to prepare for Wednesdays game.
We really need the 3 points.
Now call me hopeful but, what if we can make it into top spot and still with 2 games in hand?
If we can hit a stride and win the next 4 games...actually, sod that, lets go all in and say 8 wins and 2 draws which includes the double over Cardiff...come on (to quote Delia) LETS BE HAVING YOU! | |

All about opinions for me the postponement is bad for us. We were not hammered and our confidence did not take a battering nor did we pick up any injuries. We had just played one of the best teams in the world and to then come up against an average Championship team we would have been favorites to pick up 3 points. The step down in opposition strength,speed and technical ability would have given us more time and space to play our game. |  | | |

You are looking far to deep into it, Brentford imploding has made it a good weekend, 3 of the next 4 are at home, only Huddersfield away.
Do the business in the next 4 and we are sitting pretty | |

Win the next 2 home games, 9 points from 12 in the championship is very good.
Not a good day at the office but it can easily be put right. As was said earlier today, this league is mad. Brentford who were sweeping all before them away with ease have just lost 3 in a row against teams most would expect them to steamroller.
3 wins out of every 4 and you are on course for 100+ points on the season. Let’s not get too disheartened. | |

Absolutely mate, a meltdown after three or four defeats in a row I can understand, Cardiff do it regularly, but one poor outing with time to correct it ? Not an issue as yet. | |

Spot on! we looked all out of sorts from the word go you can't just keep winning if your going to lose I'd rather lose to a bottom league club than any of the ones around us, Brentford ,Bournemouth, Reading also lost so not all doom and gloom not that it should be
4th place, 2 games in hand thank you very much and forward.
I'm more concerned as to why Cooper dresses like a coach driver? [Post edited 21 Feb 2021 8:36]

Good points, well made - things will look clearer after the next two home games I suspect.
On Cooper’s look suspect his satnav stopped working around mid-afternoon yesterday! | | | |

You’re right - got a bit of a Dave Coaches look about him .
We often look off the pace but 9/10 confidently muster a win. It looked that way at half time as some of the pundits and better posters commented.
Postponements are generally detrimental for us, we thrive on both momentum and a dog fight.
Players and coaches will definitely learn from this. Some fans never will, either through choice or lack of understanding. | |

If we beat Coventry Wednesday then this one will be forgotten about, and rightly so. Each game as it comes, it’s the performances I’m more concerned with.
I always think of the Bielsa sides in Spain who blew our end of season, even his Leeds side two seasons back. I know we don’t play anywhere near the same game as them but with the games coming as they have done this season due to Covid, and Cooper’s lack of rotation, and even with our lack of changes made during the game compared to other teams in division, I’ve been expecting a big burn out. The last two games hasn’t helped eased my worry. |  | | |

Let us be honest with ourselves.Really honest.
We are all feeling like shyte and HOPING this isnt the start of an implosion.
It's some fans ways of coping with the disappointment of yesterday and don't tell me anyone is not disappointed. If people feel as such,it is simple human nature to get all shyttey.Denying that is kidding yourself
Our fans seem prone to this.Reading Brentford's board they were 100& livid bitching,slagging off,criticising,insulting and being generally nasty.Us?,nah,we are better than that .Innit.
We are looking for positives; Current league position,money spent,young manager in first season,Gritty ground out wins,defensive record and games in hand.
Not so long ago,cradiff were seen as a joke as was McCarthy.Oh how we laughed and took the pyss out of their position and the fact Wilson was "lost" and Moore was a carhorse.
So,the lesson is not to believe sport chews you up and spits you out | |

If that one game makes you feel like shyte then you obviously haven't been watching Swansea City that long.
I'm a lot more concerned about Morris and how he is and how his injury could affect the rest of our season than just crying over one result
Now roll on Wednesday | |

Unbelievable. 1 defeat in our last 10 league games. 7 of those being wins.
I honestly would not like to be in the trenches with some of our supporters.
This league is notorious for how competitive it is, anyone can lose to anyone. One defeat and we have to hide the knives for some.
Relax. | |
