v Swansea City (h) - 7/8/21

[AllRoverAsia]

Rothwell went for goal, and fluffed it.

Enjoyed the game despite the weak referee.

[matt83]

Good win. Can’t say I’m any more optimistic about the future but take it where can get it.

Excellent start against a team who have been in the playoffs for the last 2 years. Bodes well for the season ahead and puts the silly doom and gloom of the last 3 months in to perspective.

3 months?

[neophox]

Dolan is young... Even Armstrong missed chances as an 19 year old..

And as a 24 year old at times.

Shout out to Kaminski for crucial saves. Brereton-Diaz for having the balls and nerve to score the penalty.

[Gogger]

Dont think ive seen a goalie beeing involved in so much, probaly our best attacker and Swanseas best defender.

 

good to see the young ones daring to use the ball. Butterworth was excellent when he got to run at them

[yankfan]

Shocking really that Martin continued to have his side try and play it out of the back in the 2nd half. That tactic was always more likely to create chances for us than them. Should have just hoofed it long to beat the press. 

[Tom]

Beautiful, a real game for the fans to enjoy, a bit of an atmosphere even at times

We had 30% possession but I’m amazed we didn’t score 5, xG through the roof 

The second half was played like we had 10 men but Swansea were abysmal truth be told.

A bit of time wasting but the only other thing of note in time added on was us missing a glorious chance 

Buckley provided the worlds greatest first half performance then played the second with an arrogance and failed to make a single pass 

Great to be back 

[Mr. E]

One-legged team of kids fully deserved their win today - wouldn't it just be this of all season starts we finally get a win.

Kaminski still had to keep us in it a several times though, as sleepy as Swansea were they could have gotten something out of this.

Instead of loan players can we not invest the money into some anti-injury charms or something?

[Tom]

By the way Rothwell was 100% going for goal, if he wanted to pass he had a simple square ball 

[CambridgeRover]

I would rather we fucked loaning more premier league youngsters and said "we are an academy building team" and develop that into an identity, let the kids have this season, come what may

Swansea aren't getting anywhere near the playoffs this year with that team they have and if you want 1 result to cover up all the cracks and mismanagment from Mowbray and co from the last 18 months not 3 months then go ahead but the more realistic supporters know its a going to be a long season on and off the pitch.

Crikey, take a break for a few hours.

[bigbrandjohn]

First home win of the season since 1878. Delighted.

Yeah lets all forget the shit we're in just because of one win.

[DE.]

Based on that showing Swansea are in for a long season. We'll be fine until injuries/suspensions and the usual death spirals come into play, but the first eleven we had on the pitch today are good enough to stay in the division. 

[roversinmyblood]

Btw where was Chapman today? Is he injured?

Sorry only just saw this. I have access to it through an account I have in Spain. Not too sure about an account with them. Hope you managed to get it.

Think he has been ill for a couple of weeks. Might be back in training now, but probably not fully fit. 

[tomphil]

Vital early 3 points and great effort by the boys.

Easy to get behind that kind of team and effort.

Please stay away from the possession crap and just go out to win games and play football. There was something refreshing about that today.

Idiot Merson called it a candidate for miss of the season on SS.

Harsh on Diaz that. 

[Roverthechimp]

Anyone know if Davenport was getting ready to come on before Gallagher pulled up? Have a theory that he was probably coming on for Buckley prior to that
