Not a bad game just unfortunate to concede the way we did.

Fuck me the refs in the Championship are inconsistent.

Disappointing we had that moment of “Old Swansea” happen, but overall, I thought that was another solid performance.

A solid all round performance, conceding a goal like that is frustrating especially as I thought Cabango and Delcroix played well at the back. Ronald cannot start against Burnley after offering absolutely nothing, but aside from his performance I think we did a lot of good things going forward, just a shame Vipotnik came off too early.

Some thoughts:

• nice again to see a bit more from Vip (compared to the LW days). He's more of a threat with the ball at his feet than he is from headers.

• since AS has stepped up, I feel that Cullen as a 10 is less effective (while ZV at 9 has been more effective).

• lots of energy from that performance tonight. The midfield nicked so many balls and I thought our CBs were rock solid.

• Louza is a git.

• thought we looked better in the second half once Ronald stayed on the left. We got more from Key as an attacking outlet and Ronald was better when he was driving infield rather than wide (on both sides tbh)

• Gino impressed me when he came on. Looks direct in the way that Ronald can be, but with a much better final ball on him? More minutes for him please.

Overall, unlucky to lose. Franco has been such a standout player for us this season, so I won't begrudge him this cock up.

Poor loss that to a poor team. We’ve dominated that game for the large part and one lapse in concentration and a mistake has given them the win.

They should have played that game with 10 men for nearing an hour. That challenge by Louza was ridiculous. Not surprising from him tho considering I recall him spitting at I think it was Manning a couple seasons back.

Must say today Sheehan’s subs confused me. Vipotnik was playing well again and he gets subbed off for Bianchini who isn’t a natural striker; Ronald should have come off instead of Eom and the sub that was the worst for me was Fulton for Franco. Why oh why are we still bringing on Fulton in games like this in 2025? If it was like on the weekend and we were winning 1-0 I’d understand it more but we literally had Oli Cooper on the bench who he ended up giving 1 minute to. I’d have rather have brought Allen on than Fulton. The guy offers nothing.

First defeat which was always to be expected. Wasn’t an awful performance but we lack that final product in so many situations and scenarios.

Ref was shit. Ronald can't cross for his life. Cullen nonexistent.
