Maybe now that he has built a reputation as a good keeper, we can negotiate a financially better loan deal for the club or even sell him. |

It was when Georgie lost his e for b and couldn't be bothered for the last time with them. [Post edited 31 Dec 2024 12:43]

Is that the Delaney who went on to play in the Premier league for Palace.? |

Marti, in his pre match interview seemed to say they would train on Christmas day and then get on the coach to Swansea.
So I don't think dragging them out of bed came into it but being at home was a big advantage for Swansea, as, at least they could spend more Christmas day with friends and family
When you think of all the games over the Christmas/New Year period you can understand why some players always seem to pick up an injury. |

I hope I'm not being prepared for both JCS and Pal to be unavailable on Sunday.
Could be a back four of Ashby, Dunne, Field and Fox. |

Well we were poor, marginally better second half but Swansea on the day were brilliant. Done their homework, used the width and gave our full backs a torrid time. Hardly missed a pass. Adapted well to every tactical change by us and bossed the game throughout.
Be disappointed with our non performance but credit where it's due. |

I can't say that I've noticed that with Frey. I'll watch for in the next few games. I'm not sure that Kolli consistently wins them either, although I have noticed that he sometimes gets up early and has that ability to hang in the air. Denis Law was well known for that skill. |

Tuesday morning when I'm reading this and that feeling still hasn't faded. Thanks for a truly great report which really helped with the visualisation of the ninety.
Are you the younger pretender to the throne?
Merry Christmas to you and Clive, wherever he may be. |

Apart from a lack of pace Frey, has all the necessary qualities and is a really good striker for us.
Watched him in the shooting practice during the warm ups before Saturday and every shot was thumped into the net. He didn't miss.
Feed the 'beast' and he will perform.
If we can keep him fit, Marti will look after him, rotate him with the younger lads and Michi will play his part. |

Reply | Was Prestons goal totally against the morals of the game

Agree with that Myke. That was my initial thought from my view in South Africa Rd
To a previous poster, Morrison is right footed, as is Dunne whilst Fox and JCS are lefties.
The goal was almost the only thing that I could stomach from Preston yesterday. Everything else about their behaviour was a disgrace, aided by a referee who failed to control them from the start. It was as if he had never heard about Preston, the kings of the 'Dark Arts'. |

Jimmy Dunne is absolutely vital in winning headers in both boxes and sometimes from our keeper near the halfway line too. He wins almost all of them.
Marti will never have the perfect squad. We can't afford it. There will have to be pragmatism and trade offs. [Post edited 16 Dec 2024 16:04]

Myke there will always be examples of right footed players who could play on the left, especially at European Cup and international level. Their all round ability and competency makes them overcome the disadvantages. Irwin's time was quite a few years back and maybe he wouldn't be so effective in the game now, with current tactics and even higher fitness and energy levels.
The Championship is a lesser level and virtually every player is one footed. Some are better than others with their 'swinger' but it is still a weakness. Ashby is very poor on his left, constantly wants to come inside and is pushed further in by opponents pressing him.
Morrison isn't too clever with his left either. Imho, it's a huge problem which thanks to outstanding cover from Cook, Field and Varane, Morrison's positive attributes and Nardi's saves as well as a huge slice of luck we have got away with recently.
Other than this issue though, I think Ashby had been ok. I think he has defended better than Pal when he was last starting. Pal is undoubtedly better though, when going forward on the left. |

I've never seen my another ref insist on a keeper taking a kick from the exact spot. I don't know if Nardi was doing a French version of Manuel and pretending not to understand or genuinely didn't know what he was being told to do. I know the ref made a mark but it was always behind him (Nardi) and he may not have been expecting a mark in that area of the pitch.
Having tried to defend our keeper, I would like to see refs consistently enforce keepers taking their kicks from the correct spot. |
