I didn't realise how good it was from the other end until I saw it on TV, superb goal.

I think Pratley has always had something about him. I made a post before Lennon became manager in a thread where Pratley was being slagged off and I made the point, rightly I think, that he's the sort of player who needs consistency to show what he can do. When he's in and out of the team, it doesn't really work, but stick him into a settled midfield and I think he'll deliver. He's not the best technically but he isn't a donkey either and the effort he puts in is very good, exactly what you need from a few players in this league. He's being helped by a manager who allows him to roam further up the pitch too.

But that was always his best position at Swansea anyway. It beggars belief that we signed a player who's great at scoring goals from midfield, arriving late in the box or pushing on beyond th striker in a similar vein to Nolan, and then play him but not to those strengths. Its like history keeps repeating itself.

A few months ago I was pushing for Vela to be played. Some were doubting him, but he's showing just how good he is. Isn't he out of contract at the end of the season?

Highlights:

Questions:

Does young Josh get an assist for his tackle? (or has there been too much talk of his "tackle" already?)

Is it possible to award two penalties in one go?

Just how onside was their lad for the disallowed goal :lol:?

What the f*ck has happened to Darren?! *That touch*.

Know what you mean but TBF he played for long spells in both positions in Swansea's 4-2-3-1 - as holder and "no.10". Coyle, Freedman and Lennon have all tried him in both positions - further forward for goals, further back for energy (and for when he's lost all confidence and couldn't hit a barn door with a cow's arse). Very glad for him and us that he's got his mojo back.

Andy Lonergan again ensuring we left with all 3 points. What a couple of outstanding saves. I counted 2 onto the bar. I think he's showing off now.

Matt Mills = lucky bugger, great to make the striker think he didn't know where the feck he was to then block the shot.

Personally I thought Craig Davies was guilty of some poor finishing. Could have put us in the clear with the header. Hopefully just down to rustiness.

I thought it was half and half with Cravies header yesterday, could have done better but their keeper pulled off a worldy as well.
Pfffft.

Just had another six looks at the D.Pratz flick. Absolute class and totally intended. Just a tiny controlled ankle movement ( so easy to get wrong or overdo it) and then pure kill factor. Doubt that could be bettered by any striker. My hat's off for Pratz. Well done sir. Outstanding. :oyea:
