Was impressed with James Plant who is only 19. A solid team who lack that spark of creativity to win more matches. Hopefully they’ll beat Plymouth when they face them. |  | | |  |

That's nonsense, best defensive performance at PR since Lincoln. We were neither pi$$ poor and in no way lazy. To be honest and frank, you are clueless. |  | |  |

Credit where’s credit due.. on 22:29 - Apr 18 with 1451 views | Swansea_Blue | They were good. It wasn’t just defending for their lives either - they looked to play and get up the pitch rather than just hoof it. We’ve played far worse this season. On that showing, I’m surprised they’ve conceded so many. Only 43 goals scored though, which tells you where the main problem is. |  |

Don't forget different manger tonight. Back to basics for them and it showed well. Could be a handy management change for us. |  |

Sitting your entire team behind the ball, holding a line around 18 to 25 yards from your own goal for 90 minutes doesn’t make you a good side, it makes you a scared side trying not to get hammered, something that they successfully achieved. |  |

Chelsea achieved great things under Jose playing 11 men behind the ball. |  |

Sh1th0usery was their best game plan so can't blame them too much. Reminded me of a MM away performance back in the day. |  |

It’s not unusual for you to have completely the wrong take on things and this is just another example of your very poor understanding of what has unfolded in front of your own eyes. |  |

That was a game we could have easily lost or drawn earlier this season. Quality showed through at the end and another 3 points Don't care about the opposition as long as we get the result. Scrappy one nils for the remaining games fine by me. |  | |  |

This evening alone I've forgotten more about football than you'll ever know, petal. You're embarrassing yourself again. |  |

Credit where’s credit due.. on 22:41 - Apr 18 with 1237 views | GeoffSentence | They came to do a job and they did it very well. Really good defensively and to be fair to them their goal didn't come completely out of the blue, they had a few dangersous breaks before the one they scored from. They were happy to just lump it forward though, not much quality there and I could see why their disciplinary record has been poor recently, they were quite rugged at times. |  |

It makes you a competitive side if you sneak a point, which they very nearly did. Let's be a bit more gracious in victory. |  |

If I was in their position, I’d have done exactly the same thing. They’ve seen other teams nick points off us during the season deploying those tactics and it almost guarantees that you don’t get hammered, so it’s tactically astute, but any team can sit in the edge of their own area and block for 90 minutes, it’s ugly football and I’m just glad we found a way through. I really do believe that the goal they scored actually didn’t help them, it forced us to up the gears. |  |
