Swansea Last Night

[red macca]

Thought we were very unlucky last night and definatly deserved something out of this game. Cant be assed to read the other 16 pages so this is my quick summary.

Our left side is our ONLY weakness we have in the team Zabooub and Vincent simply are not good enough.They found their level last year and are now being caught out.I never thought i would say this but i wish Nicho would hurry up and get fit.Peacock is not performing at the moment and does not stop moaning and i await the weekly oooh i felt a twinge im not 100%, if your not fit dont play.I would be very tempted to play jpm in the centre just to add some creativity.

On the whole we played well and will play alot worse this season and pick up points so im not that disapointed to be honest.

Ref = Shit

Stewards are fucking wankers the worst i have experienced and after the game i saw 3 welsh lads playing Rugby with a balloon which will explain why they got knocked out the rugby world cup so early.

Cheers for the lift Bushey

I've been wondering about JP in the middle lately, he doesn't have the pace to get past his man really so hasn't been getting many crosses into the box.

If he were in the middle he'd have the quality to find the wingers more often than they are currently.  

Think we should try it against Cheltenham in the JPT.

Roberts let himself down by taunting the East Stand with his petty 'Ayatollah'

The 'problem' moving JPM to the middle is that we don't have anyone else who can cross as accurately as he can. I didn't go to Milwall or Swansea so I can't comment on whether he has shown it in those matches, but he does have an excellent cross when on form. And Sturrock likes to get those crosses in!

Can somebody explain what the whole 'Ayatollah' thing is about. Despite living in Swansea for 3 years I managed to miss out on it's meaning!

Surely that can't be right?

The "Ayatollah" is the celebration of choice for Cardiff City fans.

It originates from the funeral of Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran in 1989, where mourners slapped their heads with grief for their former leader.

One Bluebirds fan saw this on TV and started doing the same at Cardiff matches, encouraging his friends to do the same.

Now the whole of Ninian Park, the home ground of Cardiff City, can be seen doing the "Ayatollah".

Some Swindon fans were told to stop doing it last night because the Swansea fans found it racist  :roll:

haha cheers Sam.

But then our other wingers have the extra bit of pace to get the crosses in in the first place, so they're bound to be more accurate than no cross...

I do think we need that extra creativity through the middle, Peacock hasn't been the revelation in midfield I'd hoped, JP does also like a challenge so wouldn't be a risk in that respect.

[Luci]

With regard to Zaboub, he needs to calm it down, look around before punting it off into the middle of nowhere....
 
There were so many occasions last night where the ball had come to him where he had a chance to break and instead of running with it as far as he could , he just lumped it up field when he had bags of space and time.
 
We need a more composed winger who takes the time to look around before passing.  Forget fancy footwork, stick to basics

[Bushey Boy]

The stewards were a joke, so was listening to Macca nd his mate (2 women bitching   )

Good away game though deserved a draw, roberts on form and fair play to his celebration

[fatbury]

Bring back the Rock and the results will follow!

Seriously tho Id prefer a midfield 3 with one sitting deep with one winger who moves from right to left during the match - could be Roberts, McGovern .. whoever ..

[Spencer_White]

I would have taken off Zaaboub after 20 minutes. He was a complete liability defensively. Recovered a bit second half to put a few decent crosses in.

The stewarding ruined what could have been a lively atmosphere. Over the top.

Thanks for explaining the Ayatollah.

Thanks for explaining the Ayatollah.

No problem.

For those who may care, it's also why Welsh rugby union player Gareth Thomas slaps his head after he scores a try - hes a Cardiff City fan.
