This is the strongest squad we've had apparently, Oxford fans reckoned they'd win they did, Sunderland fans have also said they'll win, that is the game we just can't afford to lose.
Its clear that we need a ball winning midfielder, shelvey can't do it Ki either, huwbert its down to you sonny boy |  |

Se clearly we don't have the players to play the so called swansea way.
If we stay up, it will be a miracle but plenty have said we won't go down and they are deemed great posters.
Personally, it looks like the eighties all over again |
It's people like you and me who can see these patterns. I genuinely believe that if we go down (and that's not a huge if!!!) we'll struggle to stay in the Championship.
Don't know where the blame lies though. Don't understand bringing Kingsley on when we were crying out for experience being a goal down at the time.
And did you see Shelvey right towards the end. Bent over just outside our box as the game waltzed around him. That was sad to see. |  |

Too many changes, no where near enough strength on bench to bale team if needed. Some bollocks decisions from officials but it hurts me to say Oxford deserved the win.
Gutted

I'm not shocked. A struggling team up against a very good league 2 side. A ton of changes including a new back four (when has that ever worked?)
The board need to crack on and make some moves in the market. We needed a manager to freshen things up but they made a mess of that, the least they can do is get a couple of players in to freshen the squad up a bit.
Tabanou, Gomis and Shelvey need to go this window. We can't be messing around till the last day of the window either and replace them cheaply like we usually do. |  | | |

Good game, well done Oxford United, unlucky Swansea.
What nationality was the ref ?, Oxford went 3-1 up before the Swans got a decision in their favour but you can't take anything away from the Oxford team. |
Think he was paid to make the cup magical for the neutral.
Pity it wasn't needed really. |  |

we do but it has been coached out of them! no instinctive nature to the overall play |  |

Whoa now Adrian Forbes is forever held up as moronic for running round a lot and Bony is lauded cos he didn't.
Strange place planet swans. |
Bony was a lone striker for petes sake
Who's asking for endless 90 minute running , how big a ask is it to ask your CENTRAL MIDFIELDER to run not even 5 metres and attempt tackle the player on the other team
Bent over the edge of the box on the 90 playing with his socks ffs | |

It's because we be seen it before union.
The positive jerks on here are simply whistling past the graveyard.
Our club is unravelling at a rate of knots and it shows no sign of stopping.
We ve got plenty of experts on here, who really know as little as I do .
It's put me off my lunch | |

I'm usually one of the optimistic ones but I think we are now premier league in name only. Absolute f ucking shambles. |
I'm very disappointed with that. Everything from a managerial sense was wrong about it and any illusions I had about Curt performing miracles (and to be fair I didn't really have many) were punched, kicked and tossed in the bin.
I know it wasn't the first team, but this kind of thing is pervasive. When the chips are down the last 10% just isn't there. I actually think now that we will be relegated, even though I'm hoping it's just my usual over-reaction to this kind of thing.
Other teams just look like...you know...teams. |  |

Yes, positives I'd agree with. With very little game time Nordfeldt looked sharp, he probably kept us in the game to be honest. Great backup if Fab gets a knock. | | | |

If he had the energy to go with his skill he provably never would have put a Swans shirt on in the first place. It's pros and cons. He can pass and shoot and carv open defences but we have players who can control a football and can't turn without falling over. | |

3-2
I can't see much complaint in regards to that result. The better/hungrier side won. There are a lot of players that the club need to get rid of.
Bartley
Shepherd
Tabanou...seriously WHO signed him(someone need to admit to this one).
Grimes
JJS
Gomis
I really find it hard that 8 of this team were in the squad versus Crystal Palace. |  | | |

So he's only playing for Swansea because he's got the stamina of a lethargic sloth. I can't have that | |

When we play football against them, we look as if we can cut them apart.
Lovely finish by Gomis and a superb pass by Cork. Our issues are in midfield and providing Gomis with chances.
Fair play to Kinglsey, he has looked a class above Fat Frank already. |
Ha ha, that's what I call him too. |  | | |

The more I think about it the more it seems that JJS can't really play unless the ball is stationary. Has to stop the ball, look up and pass so many times. Losing half a vital second. Probably best suited as a 'Crossbar Challenge' specialist at a funfair. Gomis is apparently now without any ball skills at his feet, has no awareness or anticipation, and looks horribly slow. | | | |

Positives Shepherd and Kingsley (when he came on) both look as if they could be the future, Nordfeldt looked like4 he could push Fab, think his distribution is better. Marvin while not having the skill has the heart, if only some of our "star" players showed the same commitment. Curt got to lift team for Wednesday now. COYS. |
I thought Shepherd was run ragged by their winger |  | | |

So getting rid of those and bringing in such huge talents that are full of running and goals such as Ngog/ Schecter/ vasquez isn't for you then? 
Board have been doing "jobs for the boys (and girls) for many years.
It's now going to bite them on the 'arris, just as the Sky money goes through the stratosphere.
Take the divis' take the flak
They're completely fukin up the club we all love and need to sort themselves and the problems. Getting enough wedge for it
Looking stupid on tw@ter/ faceslap etc while slagging off Van Gaal. I hate Utd as well, but the week before you play them? Really? Very fuggin professional.
Not a happy bunny. Just glad the injury I got in the week stopped me going today.
Never thought I'd say an injury that's stopping me from earning (self employed! no SSP!) and stopped me going to the football, would make me slightly happier.
Ah well.
Let's hope wednesday is better.
Onwards and downwards!! |  |

That's the sort of result that happens to teams that get relegated.
Not sure it's going to have a lot of bearing on the rest of the season, although it does show there's precious little quality there below the first XI. Recruitment has been pretty poor in recent times clearly.
Tabanou ... Wow. That may just have been Taylor's best performance all season.
Bartley ... Captain? Feck my eyes. Simply not fit for purpose. That 3 match experiment is becoming more offensive by the day.
Grimes ... me old mucker Warwick's gnome comment made me chuckle.
Jeff ... Lovely goal. Nowt else. Weaker than a Liberty stadium beverage.
And finally, Jonjo. Beyond redemption. Sell. Sell. Sell.
Any positives? Well .. thought Emnes was alright. Gomis took the one chance he had. Shepherd can tell the story of how he played for the Swans when he's on the pull. Amat and Nordfeldt managed to keep the score down despite the hilarious incompetence around them. |  |

Speaking of Gomis' awareness, when Barrow crossed to him near the end, he tried to blast it past the defender standing directly in front of him, who easily blocked it.
Emnes was standing three yards to his left and totally unmarked. | | | |
