First ten or fifteen minutes was as good as I've seen us play since we were in the Prem. Tempo dropped off a bit as the half went on but we still controlled it for the most part.

Second half not as good, although we rarely looked in too much danger. Widell was probably the only player trying to get us playing at the same pace but the game was basically done. We were still good, but in different ways.

Challenge now is to stretch that 10/15 minutes to 20 or 25, and have a couple of spells of it.

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.

Excellent first half - some people may say game management second half but it looked more like taking the foot of the gas and lost the momentum and press.
Could have been 5 - 0 or 5-2
Well done the Swans - when were we top of the league last?

Excellent so far. My only disappointment is that Opoku is again less effective than last time out. Missed a real sitter as the ball rebounded from the post, and has not made the most of some good positions. Even taking account of his two goals so far (both deflections), one would have to say he is not that clinical. Let us hope that he snaps back into gear.

Mate this guy is Ayew with pace he is a talent that could a least be playing mid table prem league.
He is scoring but it deflected wait until he has a dry patch he will be the next Ronald that I am glad he is coming back as he is a beast.
In MATOS WE TRUST GET BEHIND THE LADS.
Also watch more football.

Settle an argument everyone else.

Opoku marks out of 10 so far?
this guy is another level

Excellent win tonight and a dynamic first half performance to stamp our authority on the game. It was so nice to see Welsh and Lissah pass forwards and through the lines the first 20 minutes to break the press and get us moving forward on the break.

I have nothing against Cabango and Burgess but it makes a huge difference when you can play out from the back through the high press rather than just pass it back to the keeper. I hope this continues as it makes a huge difference to our game.

We seem to be much more balanced now with added pace and a counter attack in our armoury which is required to succeed in this league. Kudos to the coaching team and players so far for addressing some of the issues that have held us back previously.

Thought we lived a bit dangerously in the second half, they had good chances.


They were always going to have a chance or two but all in all a dominant display and well deserved 3 points .They fed off our mistakes rather than create themselves and we did get a bit sloppy in the middle hence the substiutions which steadied us and great to see us still looking to create rather than sit back trying to see the game out. I thought our defence was very good tonight with all four putting in a shift . Anyone watching that tonight will be wary of what to expect when they play us , which is what it should be .

They had three decent chances after we went 2 up, if they had been decent in the air we could have gone in 2-2

Great win and for the majority kept Watford at bay. Defensively Key had 3 major mistakes allowing Watford a sight on goal. Other than that it was a confidence boosting win.Keep it going 👍


Thought Key was outstanding myself.

He was. Again. Linked really well with Opoku in that first half especially.

Still, haters gonna hate. He's a marked man now.

Agreed Key had a very good game, he seems more aggressive this season and is taking shite from nobody.

Im not sure what the position is with Welsh but he was doubled up and really struggling for 10 minutes before he went off.

How refreshing is it to see players of quality coming off the bench that CAN actually make a difference ? My signing of the season so far - Stephen Welsh ! I think he's been fantastic & to think he probably wouldn't be in the team if it wasn't for Burgess's injury.

What I really liked about Welsh tonight was the way he was marshaling the defence. He was controlling the line to push the forwards back and compress the midfield, I lost count of the number of times we caught the forwards offside.

Gig heads up to Idah and eom , what an improvment, and probably deserved for the work they must have done behind the scenes.
Lets just remember, some players still have to fit in after just arriving.
Onwards and upwards COYS.

On current form there is no way Vipotnik should start before Idah.

I said it on Saturday. This team feels different. Something we have not felt in years. For first time in a long time I didn't even look at Watfords Squad and felt like we had them in our pocket. Almost felt like if I was a Man City fan 😂. Joking aside, I am more than confident we will be knocking on top 8. This is perfect time to take on Wrexham and win in style.

Vip still looks bit rusty. Idah ticks every box of what Matos looks for. Both goal and the assist today was top class.

I would like nothing more than send Wrexham bottom and us top on Saturday, throw in Parkinson sacked and Netflix doing a Harry and Meghan on Wrexham and withdrawing all funding. If Carlsburg did football matches....
