MATCH THREAD - Swansea (A) Sponsored by the play off final

[E. Andrew]

McDermott's decisions in the 2nd half cost us two massive points there.

Unbe-fcuking-lievable that he didn't change anything in the midfield until there were 3 minutes left.

That's a bit of stretch... I'd say McCarthy saved us from 6-something drubbing.

great point, performance shows how we are bookies fav for relegation, shocking. Tabb a Premiership midfielder, you're having a laugh!

surprised he was playing in front of guthrie

[Royals-lad14]

would of taken a point at start at the game so not really complaining even though we were 2-0 up

[Libertine]

That was poor...and that being said we should have still come away with all the points and by the end we were lucky to get the one point.

That was a Swansea team coming off 3 consecutive defeats, going goalless in the process, and they looked like Barcelona against us.

[ManchesterRoyals]

Does BM know his best team?

[Who Moved The Goalposts?]

Our lack of spending on quality midfielders will be the thing that costs us our PL place. No bite, no creativity and far too deep.

[CavershamRoyal]

Awful, absolutely awful performance.

Can seriously see us shipping 7 or 8 against the Cities, Uniteds etc.

Should always win when you're 2-0 up.

Now a trip to Liverpool

[savage 4 england]

Guthrie was right. We are a direct team. We can't pass the ball. We play anti-football. We were absolutely terrible.

[peterroyal76]

Tabb is at best a championship midfielder, but because he had a decent game against an average QPR team people thought including worryingly McDermott.

[Norfolk Royal]

We were outclassed in that one, worryingly.

[Ian Royal]

The last two matches have all but convinced me we're going down.

Not really, both of their goals came from us not being able to track their runners because both Kebe and Tabb were practically comatose.

Guthrie must have shagged McD's wife or something to explain him not being brought on after 60.

[ManchesterRoyals]

The last two matches have all but convinced me we're going down.

But why oh why didnt we take a forward off and plug the midfield

[Avon Royal]

Guthrie 1
McD 0

[MmmMonsterMunch]

I think we can stay up. Not doom & gloom just yet.

Come on we'd have all taken a draw before kick off wouldn't we?

I do agree that blowing the 2-0 lead isn't good for the confidence but lets hope BM can get them up for the Liverpool game.

[Avon Royal]

If we play like that Liverpool are going to murder us like Italians in a neutral stand.

We've conceeded the lead three times in two matches. We should have won at least two, if not four of our six games based on what actually happened. We've won none of them. That's a relegation team's form. Oh, and we're conceeding an average of more than two goals a game.

[RockheadRumple]

Come on we'd have all taken a draw before kick off wouldn't we?

FFS. Why does everyone keep saying that?

That's not how it works!

God damn stupid football clichés.

[E. Andrew]

I've grown accustomed to the doom and gloom talk Saturday night, and I don't mind it. But realistically, keep in mind there are 9 teams with less than two wins.

[Born 'n Bred Royal]

Let's look on the bright side, another point and one that takes us out of the relegation zone. Who really thought we were good enough not to be in a relegation scrap anyway?
