Some crap players like that fat full back Tabanou but some players who are clearly not interested.

**Enoch Mort** · 10-01-16, 14:02

Happy with that. If we lose today as well all the publicity will be about a Premier League club being knocked out and less so us. Of course, we might win !

Gutted for you and Bryndon, I guess staying up is your clubs priority..

**insider** · 10-01-16, 14:07

Now you have Curtis in charge I`ve noticed he likes a Hoof.
You and all the other JB`s must be gutted.
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF.

**Hilts** · 10-01-16, 14:09

They are lucky that Aston Villa and Sunderland are so bad.

Looking at that today they have real problems though.

What a brilliant game - very impressed by Oxford, a League Two side that was able to bring on subs with plenty of ability. Roofe won't be staying with them for long on that showing, but I thought the right back Baldock, Lunstrom in central midfield and the sub O'Dowda all looked like they were too good for League Two.

**CCFC_Urawa_Reds** · 10-01-16, 14:15

For large periods, Oxford were the better team. Swansea do indeed have major problems. Is their purple period over?

I'm heartbroken - it's ruined my weekend and Christmas.

**ian gibson** · 10-01-16, 14:15

Very impressed with Oxford, especially their fitness, they won all the 50/50s and never stopped running.

Dead Swan bounce effect.

**surge** · 10-01-16, 14:35

Perhaps unlucky with the penalty decision but apart from that it was a great FA Cup tie and the more deserving side progressed.

**Auntie Andy** · 10-01-16, 15:00

Fair do's they've taken it very well down West

**Lawnmower** · 10-01-16, 15:05

Bloody hell, even Saint Huw getting sh1t.

Luck can't last forever.

**Kiffa** · 10-01-16, 15:10

IMPLOSION

**splott parker** · 10-01-16, 15:12

Obviously a message board is only a small percentage of fans but that small percentage seem on the point of meltdown don't they. I think they need to change to blue to take their mind off the team and board's failings.

A return to real reserve team football is a must in my opinion, not this glorified youth league stuff that is U-21. Play trainees against men, men who want to get back into the first team and plenty who feel loathed that they're pitting their wits against some keen upstart. I remember being 16 and playing the jacks in a reserve game at the Morfa, we had quite a youthful side out, they didn't, Bracey in goal, Stewart Philips up front, Simon Davey on the right and a couple of St Mirren lads who had just signed for them. None of them great players, but hardened and new how to wrap me up with the simplest of movements, clever fouls, intimidation. Technically they weren't great, that wasn't a problem, it was the experience that did for us, and it made you learn and understand what competitive football was about.

I'm not sure how many changes the jacks made today, and if so, how many of those players get much of a first team airing. If there were alot of changes with players coming in without a great deal of first team experience, then it does show that competitive football will win through. Alot of Premier and Championship clubs squads may be decent in size with cover upon cover, but in my opinion extremely light on quality outside of the first 16. Lower division clubs albeit lacking in quality for the percentage, have to utilise the majority of their squad and utilise second year trainees, it's a great grounding.

I think the commentator said 10 of the same starters as the Palace game and 6 of the same starters as the Manu game.

To be fair to Planet Swamp at least you can read the threads without hundreds of bloody adverts obscuring the text.
