    What a shame

    Wales needs at least one top category one academy and at least one premier league side. It feels extremely short sighted to say anything else. But yeah, let's see what we get out of it when Watford go up instead!

    Us finishing above them is clearly the ideal, but considering we beat Watford away and drew with them until our keeper dropped a clanger we're more likely to beat Hornets in play-offs and probably more likely to succeed in general if we don't have to play a derby game...

    They're so mediocre. How have they been contenders for automatic promotion?

    I don't actually disagree with you. Wales needs a Premier league club and clearly I would prefer it to be Cardiff, if it was another Welsh team I would not lose sleep.
    Having said that, Swansea have been bang average for weeks, picking up lucky wins. That luck has now run out.

    Luck tends to even itself out over a season. From where i’m Sitting , the table tells me after 38 games, they are 10 points better off.

    Watching the second half last week , they are light years ahead of us.

    Ive seen this mentioned plenty of times.

    They are not light years ahead of us.

    90 plus minutes to get a shot on target against a side with 2 midfielders in defence and another who hasnt played 10 games in the Championship.

    They are bang average with a lot of loans in the line up and Ayew in his last year.

    Any side that sits third on the table at this stage of the season is obviously above average. The problem is the overall standard of the Championship this year is abysmal.

    nonsense! they have adjusted better than us and i'm 100% sure they will go back up before us as we keep making the same mistakes
    time and time again and fail to invest in youth players and academy etc etc. we're a poorly run club that could achieve much better.

    This seems like a strange time to be attacking the club for failing to invest in youth and the academy.

    A time when the club have finally (on the evidence so far) got their act together. u18s, u23s and academy players breaking into the first team (on the pitch as well as the bench).

    This season: Joel Bagan, Mark Harris, Tom Sang and Ciaron Brown all full members of the first team and racking up playing time. Rubin Colwill has been brought on as a sub three times I think. Another half dozen academy players have been on the bench - some of them multiple times.

    Covid (and nine subs) has been a factor, but that doesn't explain what has become a breakthrough season for the academy.

    Hopefully this is just the start, but it is a good start and the club and management deserve credit for it.

    Now that's what you call karma! Two penalties even.

    And you know what, I don't think the 2nd was a foul. Seems the defender slipped.

    Somethings not right. Since Norwich we've regressed massively. Not that you lot will care

    So what if he slipped he still made contact with the player causing him to trip.

    I have no interest in out cousins down the road unless we are either playing them or their results impact our position.

    Bristol City , for me, are and always will be the local rivals. At a push County can step up to fill that role but like a few on here I often used to go to Somerton Park if the City were away as a teenager so they are less rivals and more of a distraction.
