Typical though. I'm not a fan off the changes we make like this - when we do 1 or 2 subs every few minutes. It seems to leave us disjointed.

Looked so comfortable all half as well

So angry. Why so many subs

FT 1-1 A loss really in my mind.

lewisant · « **Reply #229 on:** January 04, 2025, 02:24:31 PM »

So, so irritated by that. I'm more angry than usual. It was just so easy, winning at a canter really. Way too many subs for my liking taking off all our best players.

Would have won that but for the poor game management.

Terrible, unnecessary subs cost us for me. Disappointing.

Gave that game away

Pleased with the performance overall, but giving that win away in time added on was just amateur

But I think the subs were needed as the boys were looking a bit tired?
Very disappointing, we just needed to get that second and game done.

They didn't even look like shooting let alone scoring so to give that away is dreadful.

Agree the subs gave the point to them. Swift on the left? Cole on again. Pointless.

Indeed, it's as if they don't understand managing the game they are in, it's just a case of get in front then take off all the best attackers and try and close out the game. Poor.

Just happens sometimes. In isolation you’d say a game we dominated and three points should have been ours. Just frustrating to add to our tally of draws.

That’s an awful result. Swansea the most powder puff team I’ve seen this season and we were so comfortable until we scored.

Need to sort out the mentality when we take a lead, we actively invite teams onto us when there’s no need to. Swansea have a really weak bench so I’m not having the excuse of our awful subs, we just stopped playing football again.

graka · « **Reply #239 on:** January 04, 2025, 02:28:36 PM »

That should have been the most comfortable victory at Swansea I have ever seen
They are such a poor team
Wrong substitutions again cost us the game
It’s so blatantly obvious you don’t start Wallace or Holgate
Mowatt just slows us down so much and can’t run
Swift does nothing
No issues Grady and Cole coming on up top for fresh legs has no other option but again we insist on changing so many it just takes any attacking threat away and encourages pressure
We need to work on stopping crosses it’s such a lazy trait we possess and eventually you get punished
If we want to shut up shop bring Bartley or Taylor on
Big 2 points dropped , get a manager in now it’s getting like Groundhog Day watching us trying to hang on after 5 subs

Droitwich Baggie · « **Reply #240 on:** January 04, 2025, 02:28:51 PM »

Same subs that the last manager used so many times. With the same outcome. Why don't the coaches' learn?n?

These are the kind of changes you hated Corberan making, no?

For me, they looked ok and the next game is a cup game in a week, they need to see the game out.

I don't know why but this one his irritated me far more than it usually would, so i should probably come away from the forum for an hour or so...i mean, i am at work so it's probably for the best

alex1 · « **Reply #242 on:** January 04, 2025, 02:30:13 PM »

To be fair, Maja in particular looked knackered and was ready to come off. I think Swansea played more a possession game after we scored and were able to take more control in midfield. Still, always feels like a defeat to concede so late.

elmo_in_swansea · « **Reply #243 on:** January 04, 2025, 02:30:24 PM »

Nothing changes, we get in front, make changes, drop off the pace and hey ho concede! Is it poor decision making on or off the pitch? How many times is this going to happen? I guess we're not blessed with the greatest subs bench, but is it in the rules we have to make the same changes every game?
New innovative manager needed please!

KN22 · « **Reply #244 on:** January 04, 2025, 02:30:42 PM »

Very disappointing outcome given how the game unfolded. Not sure why so many changes were made again. Some were very critical of Corberan for this and yet it continues 4 games after he left. Why??

mr multivac · « **Reply #245 on:** January 04, 2025, 02:30:49 PM »

Change should have been Bartley for Styles , swift is much to lightweight rancid should have come on for johnson , As for Cole he does nothing should give one of the kids a chance

Atomic · « **Reply #246 on:** January 04, 2025, 02:30:58 PM »

Reminds me of the Oxford game earlier on in the season. Game management cost us. Grady particularly annoying for the goal he has got to make an effort to stop the first cross, he just does nothing.

It's a point away from home but it shouldve been three. We've got to sort out our mentality when we're winning tight games late on. We're creating our own problems.

Blowee · « **Reply #247 on:** January 04, 2025, 02:31:07 PM »

Our forward threat was gone once Johnson, Maja and Grant went off. That enabled Swansea to try to push forward more. Swift, Diangana and Cole don’t offer much going forwards and aren’t able to drop back to make us more solid either. Wallace was better today though.

caravanc58 · « **Reply #248 on:** January 04, 2025, 02:31:12 PM »

2 points thrown away, Diangana didn't even bother to close down the cross into the box he just stood and watched. Sometimes it's what's between the ears as much as the ability you have in your feet. Should have seen that game out easily against a very poor Swansea.

zac · « **Reply #249 on:** January 04, 2025, 02:33:16 PM »

Completely threw that game away with the subs, completely unnecessary. An important week ahead and i hope we can move forward to making an appointment ready for the next league game because we can't keep throwing away results like that.
