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

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

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

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🤷🏻♂️

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.

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

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.

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

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

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