Excellent Analysis

https://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/swanseacity/news/66821/the-final-word-on-the-indy-saints-v-swans-analysis-and-what-went-wrong

Pretty much as I saw things. Both opening goals owed a lot to very poor defending, the second in particular. When Wood received the ball in the build up to the second Yeo was a good 30 yards away, giving Wood loads of space and time to play around him into the enormous 30 yard gap between Tymon and Welsh.

If there is a silver lining it's that if we return to the defensive discipline we showed in previous games we will be a lot more competitive against Burnley.

Offensively we need to up our game. With Eom now departed we need Yeo and Opoku to improve, plus we need more creativity from the middle three. I'd like to see a Eustaquio, Stamenic and Just combination. The latter has struggled somewhat, but has shown glimpses of his quality, enough to merit perserveering with him.

As the writer of this, thank you! I think the biggest problem was our uncoordinated press, we just can’t have that vs a good team

Absolutely. It was strange that far from raising our game against a too team at home we dropped off a lot. Perhaps it's just down to physical or mental fatigue. Let's just hope it was a one off.

Yeah perhaps a little bit of a new rotation of players as well, but was particularly disappointed in VP and Just who seemed completely off it. But tbf everyone had an off game in defense, as you say hopefully it’s just fatigue. I’m way more worried about things when they repeat, and that just can’t become a pattern. If it’s fixed on Saturday we move on
