FT: SWANSEA CITY 0 - 1 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

[A Quiet Monkfish]

Hope the ref doesn't fall for 'The Swansea Scream'
Any partial or even non contact on players like Ayew, Roberts, Naughton, Bidwell just for starters brings about a high shrill screech like a 13 year old girl at a One Direction concert. In an empty stadium this screech can easily influence a ref and has been used by them (and not just them by the way) on many an occasion. Not knocking it as it's an effective option. Yes it's cheating but this is a much more 'professional' outfit than past Swansea teams.

Ayew has a miraculous ability to get straight back up with a smile on his face after screaming like he's been shot by a sniper after cheating a foul.

SOCCER !! Hoofers v Screamers. GO HOOFERS !!!

The ref Paul Tierney is a Premier League ref so I think might, unfortunately, be more susceptible to histrionics. Also no VAR in the Championship so his opinion will be final!

Unfortunately I think you may be right, playing against 12 already!

C'mon the Blooobirds, get into 'em!!

Is that Ralls at left back?

Feck.

Feck.

I think it must be.

[Zowhore]

I think it must be.

Not sure who RW for them is, but Ralls red card is a bet worth looking at.

Roberts is RWB.

[jon1959]

Roberts is RWB.

Hmmmm. Is he known for screaming and falling over?

[City123]

Ralls & Vaulks will be sent off.

[dml1954]

Feck.

Could be a back four with Brown at left back ?

Bad news already

[goats]

I think it must be.

Ralls is in the team....

[Hilts]

Could be a back four with Brown at left back ?

No.

[the other bob wilson]

We could be playing a back four with Brown at left back or it could be that Bacuna plays left wing back - we really are down to the bare bones when it comes to defenders, there isn’t one on a bench where we’ve got no end of attacking players, but Lord knows what we do if a defender gets injured.

[tforturton]

It definitely looks like a back four. 4-3-2-1 set-up.

[tforturton]

Doesn't really matter who plays at the back - the jacks are a bunch of professional cheats....

[Hilts]

Im suprised theyve picked Hourihane.

[Don Corleone]

The defenders we can put out do not fill me with confidence - a back 5 containing Ralls, Sang, Brown and Flint - hmmm, hope I’m wrong but as well as concerns defensively, not having any proper wing backs takes away a lot of our attacking threat too

[City123]

It definitely looks like a back four. 4-3-2-1 set-up.

I can't see that being a 4-2-3-1, it would mean one of Bacuna/Vaulks/Pack/Ralls out wide and as a 10

Looks like Mick remembers Ralls' brief dalliance as an emergency left back

[Hilts]

Another possibility is Pack is playing as the 3rd centre half. With Brown an Sang wing backs.
