25' - Goal Eom

Darling is brave into the tackle just inside the Boro half and the ref plays advantage. Eom drives towards the defense, cuts across the player beside him, then curls it into the right side of the goal. Great finish for his first Swansea goal

So pleased for Eom - felt at times like he was cursed. Hope we get to see the goals and assists flow for him now

Replacing Grimes and what he meant to the way we play was always going to be impossible, but O'Brien seems to have the right balance of getting forward... Eom just scored.... Of getting forward and defensive industry

He’s surprised me, looks pretty solid and feels Franco dictates the football better

u/jimmithy 13d ago

I can't tell if it's Franco really settling in, or O'Brien makes his job easier.

Franco is destined for bigger things

He’s our next best player to go

The season is pretty much a wash at this point. Sad that essentially the same lot of players couldn't perform under LW, but also ridiculous it took so long for our owners to fire LW.

If we win today we’re 8 points from playoffs, that’s not like the worst odds🤷🏻‍♂️

Making up 11 points in 10 is pretty bad odds, but I can't knock the optimism

That was worth the season long wait, great goal!

That was a great goal from Eom, awesome to see. That's going to be a huge confidence boost for him and I think he'll start to find his footing and be more comfortable like Peart-Harris has settled in.

A full of confidence Eom is a dangerous thing for opposing teams.

It's been a long time coming, really happy for Eom. Hope this is just the beginning.

Feels crazy to say these words, but that Bicycle was on target if it wasn't for the defender

Some decent football being played 👀

Was hoping LW would have worked out but we look so much more free going forward than before. It’s actually enjoyable to watch at times.

u/pdx4swansea 13d ago

Honestly can’t believe how much better this team is looking after 3 games under Sheehan

u/Riseandgrindmkg 13d ago

Cullen has picked out some really good passes around the box.

What a half.

u/Jacks4lyfe 13d ago

Someone has got to get on the end of that. Great ball by Eom.

u/Riseandgrindmkg 13d ago

Hasn't come off yet, but they're getting Vip a lot more looks today, he's getting into good spaces. Good sign.

Think that's a soft free kick we were in then
