Fair play to Swansea, they’ve got their tactics spot on. They’ve defended well and targeted Brittain to force us to create something down the left (we don’t). Our battering ram tactics aren’t working, we need some quality, ideally from Mowatt.
More composure and thought needed up front. Final ball, movement, good cross, whatever it is they need something better
Not bad 1st half poor defending for there goal but a class finish, only time swansea have troubled us and scored. Sibbock has had a good half there center halfs have bossed dike, woodrow has tried but gave little get Morris on.
Swansea have our number , time to try something different second half . We can turn this around . One player with quality is the difference so far .
This tie is nowhere near over. I honestly think with a few changes we can take a lead into the second leg. Morris for The Freezer for one. Brittain has not been anywhere near good enough either, but I'm not sure we have an upgrade for him available.
We’re not out of this yet. Little bit more composure to pick a pass. Think the introduction of Morris will add abit more of a threat. Poor defending for the goal, but take nothing away from the finish. If that was us scoring that, we’d be waxing lyrical. Val will get em fired up for the second half for sure.
We’ve seen a first half like that loads of times though, doesn’t stop us from coming back and winning it.
We've got to start offering a lot more in the final third. Palmer had a wayward effort early doors, Helik headed straight at Woodman when under pressure and Dike couldn't quite get to Frieser's cross. This is what worried me about facing. Swansea, they're more than happy to go toe to toe with us and barley given us a sniff so far. Let's hope big Val sorts it out
