    Seem to have the beating of us, across 3 matches this season its now 5-0 in their favour (2-0 in both league games and 1-0 tonight).
    What can Val change? Surely Morris has to start on Saturday, Woodrow absolute garbage tonight. Set pieces and deliveries into the box got to be a lot better.

    It's only half time but I just can't see us scoring against this lot!

    Sollbauer for Sibbick, Morris for Woodrow and Williams for Brittain.

    You’ve answered it yourself, our lack of quality at set-pieces. Which of course means it was a case of what we didn’t do therefore we can change it

    Think they will sit in at home, invite us on and try to hit us on the break! 1-0 always a dangerous lead (as Huddersfield found out against us in the play offs) but if they get a 2nd goal early doors it will pretty much be all over!

    Woodrow was not garbage. He did the best that he could.

    Rather I thought that Dike turned it too much into a wrestling match with his markers, if it's a competition to find a player who wasn't at their best.

    There wasn't much wrong tonight. I'd have Morris start, be mindful of tired legs, and get it on the deck a bit more - but we should have scored at least three.

    21 shots they've had against us this season and scored 5.

    We've had 34 and scored 0.

    A hint of luck there, but really only ourselves to blame. Work hard on finishing this week and maybe we'll prevent a whitewash.

    Brittain should have taken his chance.
    I'd start Chaplin Woodrow Morris on Saturday.
    Their goalkeeper was man of the match.
    1 goal is easy to over turn if we can get it right at the weekend. Come on you reds.

    Just to freshen things up at the back with some extra experience, which was one of the things our performance tonight lacked.

    While Dike was occupying both centre halves I would have expected Woodrow to take advantage much more than he did. Hopefully he will in the second leg

    Sorry but I disagree, just little things like his control lets him down when in a good position and he loses the ball but was hoping he would really step up tonight. Maybe I'm expecting too much from him.

    Freshen things up? They’ve got nearly a week to rest. Both Britain and Sibbick had good games. No need to change anything just for the sake of it. Just convert our chances and we’ll be ok.

    All opinions I thought Dikes inexperienced showed and he got sucked into a fight rather than looking for space. Woodrow was anonymous but did a lot of leg work and Frieser looked well off the pace.

    Swansea played us at our own game and nailed it. They matched us for intensity and we couldn’t settle in the final third. We needed to score during that 10 minute blitz in the second half. Wasn’t to be, but we still have a chance. Get an early goal at theirs and it’s game on.

    Swansea are the team I didn't want in the semi finals. They just seem better equipped than the other two to counter our threats. They're happy to go direct like us, match our intensity / physicality and they deserved the win tonight. Fingers crossed for an improved showing on Saturday!

    Opinions i suppose you can have as much experience as you like but fine margins for me if Britain hits the ball into the roof or center of the net, if dikes through ball is better on the counter. I thought dike got dragged into a wrestling match instead of focusing on the game, woodrow was anonymous apart from the chance where he was through but his lack of pace helped there defender get back and woodrow tried to claim a foul Morris offered alot more than any of the front 3 when he came on has to start on Saturday still all to play for.
