Matos 17:04 - Dec 6 with 1756 viewsFerryjack123

Have we finally found one we can hang our hat on.. Thats a performance we've been crying out for, for a long time.. Aggressive in and out of possession only downside today we only scored 2.. That's the type of football that will get the fans back if we can keep it up.. And his passion at the end.. exactly what we want.. loved it

Let’s just wait and see. Far too early for that but we all hope so!

That's last week mate they were very poor today. Continually shirt pulling and pushing and allowed to get away with it. No real skill, relying on long range shots and long throws. Hopefully we will get another 3 points on Tuesday but the centre of our defence needs improving. The 17,300 attendance surprised me as it didn't look that full.

It was a typical Gary Rowett team performance , I said before the game he’d have them niggling and using all the cynical fouls and tricks trying to stop us playing and that’s exactly what they tried to do ,his tactics have been the same everywhere he’s been , we didn’t succumb and got a great 3 points

yet so many were purring of us under Sheehan defending him despite his only wins being against very poor sides

The question which cannot be answered is would we have got this result under Sheehan?

In fairness to Matos he has only had 11 days to work with the squad,and amongst those days as had 2 games before todays
There are positive signs ,the players seem to be playing with.more desire there are visible signs if patterns of play which have been worked on in training time will tell and we have 27 games yet to improve.

Today's win will give the players confidence, win on Tuesday and confidence will be up another level, don't underestimate its importance.

Totally agree....confidence is a huge factor and I belueve Matos is a coach who instills that
Today he could be seen applauding players who trued postive attacking play or passes which didnt quite come off

Still very early days, but we looked a different team today.

Wingers much further up the field and both played better than they usually do.
Aggressive high press
Getting players in the box in numbers when we were going forward
Fluent, passing counterattacking moves with purpose (not too often, but we looked dangerous when they did).

Hit the wall a bit in the second half and I’m still not sure of the logic in those substitutions, but we looked a long way from a Sheehan or Williams team. That’s some achievement in less than two weeks and without his own staff.

Excellent performance today.
Pleased for Matos and the players.
I've been saying all along we have been a team low on confidence.
A win makes all the difference.
Onwards and upwards.

I think, what I like so far, is that he's called it the same way as many of us see it. Like the references in his post match today about doing things better later in the game after we did become very ragged for a while. There's been no bullshit sugar coating.

Early days of course, and we do need to get him his preferred coaching staff as soon as possible, but I'm intrigued as to how he'll do with a bit of time and breathing space.

Next Tuesday a biggie. Another win should hopefully widen the gap between us and the bottom three and give the squad a confidence boost. They have to believe that they can win.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

I wonder how much influence Joey and Leon had on today’s game.

Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

I wouldn’t think that much. We played how Matos said we were going to play when he got here. He’s starting to stamp his identity on us now.

They would both be brilliant playing that kind of football.

A couple of early yellow cards would have helped put a stop to that but the ref was awful.

I agree Oxford were poor but I also think it's worth saying that we didn't allow them to be able to get into the game unlike other teams that have came down here recently.. Granted they had one or two moments when we were a bit sloppy but other than that I thought our press when we didn't have the ball was fantastic and didn't allow them any breathing space to get into the game.. We done the same in the first 20mins in West Brom but couldn't maintain it but granted also West Brom are a better side than Oxford.. But with Matos you can definitely see a plan trying to be executed.. we now have ideas, patterns of play forming, wingers trying to take full backs on, crosses being put in without dilly dallying.. all very promising signs for me

Totally agree the referees this season are poor and causing problems not stopping them and that plays right into the hands of a cynical team and spoils the game and we’ve had more than our fair share of them
On yellow cards,it frustrates me that opponents get away with numerous blatant fouls yet we always seem to get the first yellow card really bloody annoying
