Maybe a bit - I’ll revise it to really not very good ;-) defensively I have plenty of sympathy as we have no recognised CB on the pitch and players having to try and do a job.

Swansea 2 - 1 Mcburnie again, header from a cross, no real challenge but does well.

Both our centre halves very high up the pitch, fine unless we get broken on

Bamford warming up and replaces Roofe eventually after Baker down with a knock on the head.

We’ve not got Saiz and Pablo on the ball in decent positions enough tonight.

Game getting stretched now. Baker plays in a decent low cross but Bamford doesn’t get there.

Saiz does get the ball around the edge of the box and tries to chip through for Bamford but headed clear.

Berra fouled, Douglas crosses deep and headed behind for corner, scrambled clear. Swansea falling deeeper.

Ambitious attempt at a lob from Saiz after decent build up, not even close.

Ayling acrobatic effort adjudged to be foot up and FK given.

Well worked down the left, Bamford spins defender and drives forward before crossing for Pablo to nick in and finish well, good goal.
