McRightSide 10,494 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 You know the other thing I’ve noticed A few times they’ve missed out Bannan, I wonder if Pulis has asked them to not ALWAYS play through Bannan 8 1 Link to post Share on other sites

We actually have a structure and purpose Nearly shed a tear when I caught Lees closing down their attacker on the bloody halfway line Never have I seen our defenders press that far up the pitch Tony Pulis... The Welsh Guardiola. Those last 15 minutes. The irony. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Derbyshireowl3 619 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Really good half. First time in ages I’ve watched us and could see a game plan. A boring one but at least it’s a plan. All the players seem comfortable also. Football is a simple when done correctly. Head it away, kick it out. Get it in the box when you can. Shoot when you can. I feel we are doing the simple things correctly and not trying to Complicate it. Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed mate. Players aren’t half as bad as some fans make out as this first half has shown. Let’s keep it up. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, they are being bossed by our back three...but their movement is (was) good...we're growing in belief when we keep possession and pass it about 1 Link to post Share on other sites

We don't have many players you can give the ball to under pressure, he is one of them. I think all the players look better under Pulis. Link to post Share on other sites
domSWFC 4,011 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Best performance I've seen from us in a while. Not pretty, but very well drilled. Every player knew their role and positon. Every single player so far has worked hard, and pressed as a unit. Pleased to see that we actually want to play through the midfield, quickly to get up the field and not just hitting it long. Hopefully more of the same second half. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

He has settled down since, but needs to believe in himself more and use his strength to shield the ball instead of lumping it when under pressure. Link to post Share on other sites
Ante's Bubbly 1,421 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Well done Wednesday, great stuff from the lads and a lovely finish from Reach, what a peach! A Gardner int dug out anarll! Link to post Share on other sites
N0rtherner 1,937 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Come on Wednesday, keep the fight up and bring it to Swansea in second half as well! At least Derby have lost now, Boro up to 3-0. And Joao has equalised for Reading tonight! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

S6ToBerlin 79 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Commentators saying Swansea switched off for the corner but that was 100% a well thought out plan. Börner blocked off the man marking Reach allowing him to make that run and find the space. Excellently worked free kick, UTO! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
SwellOwl 1,157 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Great first half from us. Looked composed, together and players understanding their roles. Shut them out but need to keep the levels up. They look frustrated, good goal too. Link to post Share on other sites

Manwë 2,477 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Our problem now is if we waste energy trying to get a 4-0 win, and risk future games. We should slow it down at 3-0 and conserve energy. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
