Roberto Martinez didn't look very happy when he got out of his seat and left 5 mins before time!salfordpaul said:they played great football for a long spell in the first half! they were not as fit as us, and that showed towards the end of the 1st half!
they ll frighten teams like blackburn and wigan for sure!
good luck!!

To be fair they tried to play and didnt resort to fouling
Agree with both those comments. They played some nice stuff in that opening 20-25 minutes, until we pushed up more and stopped sitting back. And in the remaining 65-70 minutes, we did get through their defence alarmingly easily at times. Nice to see they didn't resort to kicking us off the pitch, but they will have to toughen up at the back. Also, they never really threatened a goal. Hope they stay up though; their fans don't seem as mouthy as their neighbours down in the valleys and their manager seems a ''decent'' bloke.

Dyer and Sinclair will be a revelation this year.
Get another striker up with Graham and they will surprise quite a few teams, especially at home.

Thanks for all the comments, both positive & negative!
Sadly your defence completely shut out any attacking options we had. If we went to clear the ball the furthest we could get was about the half way line before another wave of attacks came our way again. I do believe Graham is good enough for the Premiership and will score goals, sadly not against you tonight ;-)
Thankfully we also had a keeper who was on top form tonight and it was the first game he has played with the team.
It was a tough start for us and I think now we've seen how big the gap is between the Championship & the Premier League. All Brendan has to do is to find a way to narrow that gap. Even though we lost 4-0 I don't think there are many Swans fans who are too downhearted with the manner of the defeat.
Good luck for the rest of the season anyway, hope you manage to get the PL trophy off old Bacon Face!

You play some good football, it's nice to see teams like yours and Blackpool last season come up and not be negative and park a bus in front of goal. It's a steep learning curve the PL, and there are no hiding places for teams out of sorts or not to grips with the league. Good home form will be paramount in any efforts o stay up, good luck!
