I am really disappointed today with the subs.
Why we took our two midfield creators off and kept our back four unchanged all game when 10 men Swansea were clearly playing for a point.
As frustrating a 90 minutes we've had all season.
Credit Swansea for their grit and determination but we didn't help ourselves today.
Only 4 mins injury was a complete joke when the 6 subs accounted for 3 minutes of that - So 1 minute only added for all the timewasting and goalie injury

2 points dropped that. Really disappointing, toothless performance.

Yet again, Carvahal’s tactics succeed in stopping us scoring. Just a shame it couldn’t be decided by penalties!

Extremely disappointing. Swansea defended like beasts so fair play to them. Shocking time wasting though. When have you ever seen a yellow card for time wasting given before half time?!

So frustrating, 80 minutes of just putting the same crosses in over and over again.

Absolute fucking shit, all the way from Wagner to fucking Mounie refusing to shoot with his "wrong" foot (you're paid to play football, learn how to use both feet) at the end there. Fuming.

Swansea well organised when down to 10 men, restricting us mainly to crosses and packing out the box with defensive banks. DePoitre played well when he came on and I feel started to make things happen in the box, should have been on at half time in hindsight. Ah well another point and now above west ham

So disappointed with that, Swansea were there for the taking with ten men. On the next week I guess

Did OK in reality, should have been a bit more clinical, but give it to Swansea for a good defensive performance after a questionable red card...
Other results went OK for us today...
On to next week...

Fair play to Swansea's defence. Hopefully that doesn't come back to bite us in the arse.

So frustrating, although not looking to have caused too much damage in light of other results, providing that Palace and Stoke don't pull off a shock each. It had this inevitability about it, there was a bit of bad luck, a bit of good defending, and a bit of wastefulness, but to have 28 shots on goal and not score is ridiculous. Just not our day today.

No wonder Swansea call themselves the Jacks. That was a feckin jacksy point for them.
The curse of Carvalhal strikes again. How the feck did they get a point out of that?

I'm more gutted with that performance than any other this season - not even angry just so, so disappointed. We were unimaginative, one-paced, clueless.

Fantastic save by Fabianski to put Mounie's shot onto the bar. Swansea had lost just once in their last seven away games and were in form. Was never going to be easy. A win would have been superb but a good point and West Ham falling a part along with Southampton means a couple more teams low in confidence below us.

Just wanted DePoitre to come on earlier - defense never troubled so could have changed things tactically.
Ince still not clicking - Malone has lost his attacking threat.
Quaner - when he's not on it he looks completely lost - like today.
1 more point to safety - on we go.
Need Chelsea to win now.

Moronic substitution taking off Pritchard for Forest Gump. What the hell goes through Wagner’s head?!

Disappointed with that - was certain we'd score a few goals especially after Ayew got sent off - but at least Swansea will be missing him in their league games at Man Utd and West Brom.

Most frustrating Town game I've watched for a long time. The result would have felt much better if it was an even, 11 v. 11 game. We weren't clinical enough, but we were unlucky. Oh well, as people have said, other results today have been pretty good. Hopefully Chelsea and Man City will ensure the other important games go our way (Palace/Stoke). Still very much in the race (to stay up).

Would have liked to see 2 strikers earlier but if you'd have told me that we'd get a point and most of the other results had gone our way I'd have taken it. Next week is a huge match

Moronic substitution taking off Pritchard for Forest Gump. What the hell goes through Wagner’s head?! Wagner did alright. Without injury or bookings, wagner subs 3 of the front 4. Always has, always will. BUT his hands were tied. Mooy wasn't ready for 90mins. Wagner said it in the pre match press conference. So, the recipe for disaster is taking off a defender and getting done, late.

Including this one there was a decent string of winnable home games. We were never going to win all of them, and we still took a point so all is not lost just yet.
Does put a bit of pressure on for the remaining games though but beat Palace next week and we’re still well positioned.

For 79 mins we had an extra man.....where was he ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) . We had one great shot which resulted in a great save. Not good enough Town.

I think that we have delivered the most crosses into the box this season and with minimal results.
We arsed around in the first half just passing the ball sideways thirty yards from goal and that just sat back watching. When playing against 10 who are sitting back it really becomes a game of percentages and we needed to pepper the goal from the outset. DW should have known we were going to rely on crosses and should have brought DePoitre on at the red card. Furthermore, we just do not have anyone who can deliver quality crosses: simple as that. This game really showed our limitation. Frustrating performance.

Straight from the Lee Clark school of playing against ten men
At home against ten men, you get two strikers on the pitch immediately. Fucking disgraceful that he didn't come on at half time and beyond words that it was only with 15 minutes left.
4 shots on target in 80 minutes against ten men says it all
Atleast we can finally settle the Ince argument. He wasn't the worst out there today but clearly not got enough to make a difference at this level

Don’t know why he took off Pritchard. Can understand why he left the wingbacks on, as they are supposed to be providing the crosses and assists. Should have changed Malone and i would have been tempted to change Hogg just after halftime for depoitre.
Today’s one of those days where I would love to see a team do something like ‘waterboy’ Tactics... something like all the forwards drop back and the defenders go up top for 5 minutes, really confuse the opposition and hope that the forwards can have a crack from further out.
Just one of those games, unfortunately our style requires space to play into and we never got it with them sitting so tight. Needed to invite them onto us more, going one down probably made it harder for us. If we had got that goal then they would have had no choice but to come at us and I think we would have seen similar to watford
