High on effort, low on quality. Everyone put a decent shift in. Can't agree with some of the comments on Pack above. He was the weak link, one footed and slowed the game down when he could have released forward runners.

I didn't rate bacuna today.
Pack! although big and strong on headers is lost with the ball at his feet
Once in the oppositions half we slow things down and don't seem to have an attacking plan.
We give the ball away far too easily due to poor quality players
The defense were better.
Hoilett gets caught a lot making love to the ball.

He gets caught in possession far too much for someone who plays as deep as he does.Originally Posted by Des Parrot
They made no subs.
He was trying to feed off scraps again (as always).
No striker is going to be successful in this team.
Lacked quality all over the pitch and lacked any creativity.
Agree with a poster earlier in the week who said we need signings all over the pitch.
On a positive note, best I have seem Morrisson play for some time.
and swansea are fortunate to be where they are in the league , as are we
I was surprised at how average Swansea were. There was really no difference between us and them in style or quality.
Agree with that.
Today confirmed what we all know: that Flint is a liability and when he plays the team concedes. Whyte also ran around a lot but, bar a few decent moments, his contribution was minimal.
We have no pace in the team anywhere and that is a big problem. No dynamism whatsoever. Ralls can’t come back quick enough but we can expect him to do it all.
And Lee Gregory is the answer up front? 😳
Their style is complete different to ours!
They TRY to play out from the back and rarely send it long. They play to feet and try to keep the ball in the ground - so the exact opposite to us in fact.
The second half today just descended into a bit of a patternless messy but the contrast in styles in the first half was marked.
They showed a bit more quality and yet we managed to fashion more chances.
‘High on effort low on quality’ sums that performance up nicely.
And Pack has no pace and his very first thought is ALWAYS to pass sideways or back 😳
He can only play a CDM role and to accommodate that, the rest of the midfield has to be fantastically athletic.
Wonderful turn on the edge of the box by Glatzel, left two defenders for dead, actually put himself in a one on one situation with the ‘keeper had he took it on a yard or two yet he opted for a sliced left footed shot which troubled the corner flag. No confidence whatsoever!!
I thought that!
Did the hard part very nicely, but the rest..... :-/
Maybe he just needs a goal?
Overall I was quite happy today.
We didn't lose, and I thought we put in the sort of shift that was lacking in the first derby and v the wurzels.
Would like to see some more pace though midfield and to see Glatzel getting the ball to feet.
As far as it goes I thought that was a decent performance.
Thought Whyte looked miles out of his depth, not unusually. He puts a shift in but doesn't seem to have the ability to beat the full back. I'm quite surprised by how much we've missed Ralls, there seems to be a big bloody hole in the middle of the park when he's not in the side.
On a positive note it was the best performance I've seen from Morrison in ages. Confirms what I've always thought about him really, hes a damn sight better when playing alongside someone with a bit of pace cos he can play on the front foot and attackthe ball without worrying about being caught out.
All spot on 👍
Yes, Whyte is clearly div1 standard. I predicted he would have a good game v Carlisle as that's his level. The sooner he's shipped out, together with half the team the better.
We desperately need pace in midfield and up top. Until we get that we will be mid table at best.
How low have we sunk, that a performance that seems at best to be mediocre is considered to be a good one? This team really isn’t very good and yet this is what is served up to us week after week...
Absolutely spot on.
Yes, on reflection, I think that you are right.
Not being rubbish, as we have become accustomed to, is now considered a decent effort.
Sad.
You obviously either weren't at the game and had it on tv with your eyes shut or if you were there, spent all your time looking the other way or in the bar. Everyone around me enjoyed the game and atmosphere and thought it was a much improved performance.
didnt have to be a genius to see that someone was watching him... sad that harris had to say on record he was dropped for the bad game he had against qpr though... why not just be honest with fans instead
There is nothing like criticising a young improving player who has just made a step up to a higher level, is there. Knock any confidence out of him before he starts eh ? He is obviously considered good enough to play international football and definitely shows potential, if given a chance to develop and improve. Fat chance of that on here is there. He worked hard yesterday backing up his fullback and beat his man on a number of occasions. Certainly not the worst player on the pitch by a mile.
So now you are quoting and commenting upon/agreeing with your own previous posts !!
No I wasn’t there this time, although I’ve read few reports and it sounds like the usual durge, to be honest.
I’m not just talking about this game, though. I haven’t enjoyed a single game this season because of the lack of quality.
I only watched the second half. The only thing of note I remember is Patterson hitting the bar. Neither team seemed to have a plan.
