Gallagher gets a lot of stick from City fans...is he really that bad?

Seems like he is one of the first names on Sven's teamsheet.

For every good moments there's 20 shit ones. Thats the fun though, never know what he'll do next.
 
Excellent result.

50 seasons since the Swans won in Leicester apparently.


I was 6 months old when Swansea last won in Leicester; that makes it 60 seasons ago. I think we've only been in the same division as them for about 8 seasons in the interim though.
 
Weale - 6 - Did what he had to well, only beaten by a brilliant strike.
Naughton - 6 - Good going forward.
Morrison - 7 - Another solid display. Needs to improve his distribution.
Hobbs - 7 - Very composed. Made it hard for Swansea attackers.
Berner - 8 - Great return to the starting line up. Solid all round.
Abe - 5 - Good in places but lost the ball too often.
Wellens - 7 - Good passing, interesting tackling.
King - 6 - Solid if unspectacular.
Gallagher - 7 - New corner technique is a breath of fresh air. Good threat going forward.
Dyer - 8 - Swans defence couldn't deal with him, looked very dangerous.
Vassell - 7 - Right place, right time for his goal. Denied a brilliant second by an even better save.
 
Weale - 6 - Calm & steady - beaten by a world-class strike.
Naughton - 6 - Had his hands full with Sinclair but defensively sound.
Morrison - 6 - Did the ugly stuff well and a threat at corners. A good performance.
Hobbs - 8 - Very sold, dealing well with all the Swansea forwards and a few good passes as well.
Berner - 8 - Solid. Showed up well against the tricky Cotterill and his replacement, Dyer.
Abe - 6 - Dodgy first 30 mins but did a great job on Pratley keeping him v. quiet.
Wellens - 7 - Steady
King - 6 - Largely anonymous but should've scored a free header early in the 2nd half.
Gallagher - 7 - Put a great shift in on the left side, and delivered well from set pieces.
Dyer - 8 - Another who put a good shift in, keeping their defence on their toes.
Vassell - 7 - Quality - worked his socks off, poachers goal and unlucky with a volley which deserved a 2nd.

Could see why we wanted to sign Ashley Williams - best defender I have seen at the Walkers this season. Distribution excellent and did the ugly defending really well.
 
Abe - 5 - Good in places but lost the ball too often.

Bit harsh to have him as our worst player. Abe covered a lot of ground, closed down players and contributed to Swansea hardly troubling Weale (apart from the goal, obviously).

Much better second half - midfield played much higher up the pitch and made them play their pretty football in their own half, which frustrated them out of the game

Outstanding games from Vassell, Dyer and Berner

Praise too for Morrison and Hobbs

Loverly stuff :038:
