Our passing was pretty bad though. Only 67%. Swansea with 83% which is impressive. Good win. But we need a new keeper.  Statistics are like bikinis, they show a lot, but they don't show everything. 2 5 Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,632 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 That second half was nerve-wracking to sit through, but that is an excellent 3 points. What a pass from Sol Bamba for the goal. Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure why they play like that when they're not blessed with pace back there. Mind you we did not capatalise nor cause that high line any real problems did we? On reflection just simply delighted with the win Link to post Share on other sites
sanddancer 1,967 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I don’t know how we managed to win, I really don’t know how, but should it have been a horse race there would be a betting investigation. It was painful to watch and frankly I am disappointed with our performance. It’s all about adapting and points so in reality I should feel grateful with 7 from 12 but some how I don’t feel that way. I guess it goes some way to make up points from games we deserved but never got. What it did prove is just how unfit the team is, how many players can play at the level required. It’s to many games for Sol, bless him, Tav was absent and Watmore faded faster then a setting winter sun. Link to post Share on other sites

He is dodgy in my eyes and his kicking is not very good. Doesn’t look like a keeper that inspires his defender. Made a very good save in the first half though. Link to post Share on other sites
Foogle 2,104 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Probably didn't deserve the win but we didn't deserve the loss against Preston. Swansea are averaging 66% possession against everyone this season, but this game shows why they are where they are in the table a soft underbelly. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Dan1234 1,054 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Good result, poor performance. Pleased Jones got himself a goal, hopefully another step towards becoming a really good player for us. Midfield was poor. Watmore works so hard but technically he's quite a poor footballer. Head down far to much. Back 3 played well for the main, Djiksteel started to flag towards the end, Bamba still has those moments. Stoj needs to have a run in the side before Jan. He can't really be worse than the others. I haven't been massively impressed with Wilders use of subs up to now either. The only thing he seems to have in his locker is to switch the forwards around like for like. The midfield was crying out for energy.  Link to post Share on other sites
boro-unger 3,870 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Nervy second half! They pressed us a lot more than the first. But a cracking three points against a decent team. Feels like we really earned them today. Paddy had a great game. That off the line clearance. Wow. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernSmoggie 4,242 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Rode our luck defensively but we deserve some good fortune after the Millwall and Preston games. I also don't think it was quite as one-sided as some made out... We let them dominate the ball in the 2nd half but also fluffed two golden chances to score ourselves.

GrimsbyBoro 1,968 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 It’s a confidence building result. Didn’t think we were great but made enough chances to win the game. I suspect we will have a roller coaster ride until the end of the window. There’s a few areas we need to improve but I am happy with the points and that we are moving in a direction.

boro_fan_in_brum 604 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Wasn’t that bad really.  Lots of moaning on here. Swansea are a team that sit high up the field, we coped with it well if you ask me.  Work rate was good, good determination to not let them score.  The only thing that was a let down is our inability to get games finished, by that I mean put it to bed.  We had like 2-3 other good chances and we always fail to capitalise on them. 3 points and back to back wins. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
