The sooner Lee Clark loses this unbeaten

To be fair the match reporter for Town on the official site is a nightmare - I often get back from matches and it's as though I'm reading about another match that has taken place! I remember reading that we put in a "determined performance" against a "very good Walsall side" last season when we beat them 3-2!

Saints last season we played brilliantly the first half, mostly down to the fact that Johnson was bossing the midfield while Novak and Lee terrorised their defence - that was the best 45 minutes of pressing we did all last season and it paid off. I don't remember us creating too many chances but we did what we had to and we got 3 points - no complaints.

Brighton at home I thought we were poor and we allowed them to make the game a scruffy tense affair rather than playing football. They came for a scrap and rather than passing the ball we got involved and it became something of a non-spectacle, and eventually I think that was the match where Johnson got hurt. Again though, we did enough to take 3 points, even if it wasn't the best we played all season [a pattern would later emerge].

I wouldn't take anything from the website as gospel because the reports tend to be rubbish and biased, but the performance against Saints was good, the performance against Brighton was average, and the performance against Carlisle was - let's go with gutsy, we didn't play much football but we were very direct and had men following in behind Lee to keep the pressure on, it worked yet we don't do it more often.

Dream on WTBA.

I go to plenty enough matches matey and one things for sure as long as you've got a hole in your ass you won't ever go to as many matches as me.

I missed about 5 home games last season and went to 6 away games plus most of pre-season.

Not bad to say I also saw Man U about 6 times and a not too insignificant amount of Evostik and Northern League U19 Academy.

swansea looked great last night playing loads of football in their own half..
once man city got going and started chasing them they went to sh-t..
keeping the ball just isnt enough.. if you are going to lose it, lose it in or around the opposition box..
we have played more "football" in our own half than the opponents this season so far..

get the ball to the half way line asap and then play some "football" , hell with 5 blokes in midfield we should be able to break and keep possession more than most.. never play a square ball or a backwards pass when you can play one forward.. we have a really bad habit of either slowing the move down or worse, giving the ball away with a daft square ball..

Swansea had 75% for the first 30 minutes of play

Amazing.

How did Danny Graham play.

I can't bear to watch either of Man City or Chelski. Ones owned by a group of Sheikhs that are $€rew1ng the World down with the oil price. The other is owned by an Oligarch who ripped off an industry and millions of peasant workers by illegally acquiring a business worth millions for nothing.

Yet you'll happily go and watch Manchester United who are owned by a family so financially loathsome that it forced a number of season ticket holders to go as far as setting up their own club?! Hmmm.

Oh, and Graham was anonymous. Some great passing from the Swans early doors but they hardly threatened Hart's goal at all.

The night belonged to Sergio 'Kun' Aguero. What a player < applause >

You need to sack him because he won't do the dignified thing.

History......... How come you know more about Town than most on here?

I only know what I saw for the previous couple of seasons, thats all. Something I know a little more about is chairman, & you are lucky to have one of the good ones, but things can change quickly in football. Be a shame if Dean misses the boat through blind loyalty.
Lee Clark, nice bloke, but he'll not win you any promotions.

Never a truer word spoken in jest !
