Some of these players won’t be playing in the championship next season. Its not hard to imagine at least 4 or 5 of this starting line up not being with us next term.

[manji]

Fucks sake . Can we just enjoy the game. There’s certain people on here really looking for things to moan about. Early days for Juric . We are playing some good stuff. Check out how Spurs struggled to win today. 
good attacking intention good goals 

[Lighthouse]

That'll do for a half. Nothing ridiculous second half please.

[Saint NL]

Some lovely build up play so far tbf.

Half time

Sulemana playing well the minute he's linked with a decent move away, fuck off you waster

Probably more to do with the much lower level opposition.

Lots of the rest of the squad are also at a level of top Championship players. Armstrong and Archer for example both on our bench, Both will probably be here next season and both ae proven prolific in the Championship.

Very noticeable they don’t have a real cb playing and their reserve keeper is poor.

at least it’s a nice confidence booster so far

We won't have this team next season. I don't know which players we're going to lose, but we're going to lose players.

[Saint86]

This is like watching a pressing side vs a Russell martin side... except where we aren't the Russell martin side (praise the lord)

Forum's a bit slow. Probably can't believe we're two up. Sulemana been decent. Les too. I'd still like another CM if possible this Jan. And a striker. And CB.

Sully was one of our less bad players against Brentford.probably rated a low average ?  He did at least look bothered and sort of kept their right side occupied for at least part of the game. 

[The Kraken]

Absolute rubbish, practically equal on the possession stats. Juric out.

Similar can be said of lots of the other players not starting today in terms of ability.

I must have missed his brilliance last season

[Jimmy_D]

Enjoyed watching that half!

[Baird of the land]

What was Sully’s finger celebration about. Has he been getting some stick from the crowd?

Nice to see the goals it just highlights the size of the gap which everyone knew in the summer, everyone apart from our owners of course

Well said.

Good to see $Long doing some punditry.

Would welcome him back in his prime.

He played OK in some championship games, less so in others. It's a pretty weak Swansea side, especially at the back.

But those players aren't on the fucking pitch, are they? 😕

[Wade Garrett]

Sulemana playing well to be fair.

[jasonbenali]

Sense of deja vu from last season of actually enjoying watching Saints for the first time in a long time.

With time and space Sully looks good at this level - I thought he started well in the Championship and then was poor when he came back from his injury. Prem is a whole other story as for many of them.

[Convict Colony]

Think shane long and the other bloke have the exact same shoes on, must be embrassing

[macca155]

Good grief seen more here at a reserve game. Should have saved some money and played at Marchwood.

Very disappointed no youngsters in the team on the bench. An opportunity lost but I guess Juric has to get another effective 11 together.

Decent half. Sulemana is ripping them apart. Ugochukwa, Fernandes and Dibling just too strong for them.

Swansea are a bit all over the place but the defence is giving them half chances.

When were we last 2 0 up? Stoke I presume but shows how desperate the Championship is.

[SNSUN]

Good thing with Kamaldeen is that he seems to now have a manager who sees something in him and has some faith in him. A run of games might be a good thing for him, he's certainly looked bright today. I'm not sure not playing a striker today was the best move but both KS and Tyler have scored so it's proven to be irrelevant. KWP getting forward a lot too.

[Harry_SFC]

Aribo is so bad playing in CM. 

Ugochukwu better and we missed Fernandes a lot against Brentford.

I'm still expecting Saints to hand Swansea a goal back soon after the restart.

Leicester. thanks for the reminder...

[Micky]

Decent first half, was a little worried when we missed early chances in the first ten, but overall pretty good.  Need to come out fast at the restart and not let them back in, would really like to see a really comfortable scoreline at the end.

How is that relevant to next season? We already know the are top Championship players in terms of ability.

Big Sam Vokes. Pretty sure he's looked at Shane's shoes more than once.

I think we've found our level of opposition.

Especially when they're playing a version of 'Russball'... Very easy to play against...

[SNSUN]

I'd like to see us go on and get a few more here, might build some confidence up for the League. Just as long as we don't allow Swansea back into this. 

[Saint NL]

Their keeper with the ball at his feet for ages and no pressure at all 😂

[Saint Fan CaM]

Swansea are just shocking. and so is Manning.

Great game so far from Sully, where's this player been all season?

Not selected by RM

Just now, Saint NL said:

Probably because he has been identified as a liability with the ball at his feet. Better to let him have it and mess up.

[The Kraken]

Oh Bedders.

[Convict Colony]

Sully playing the Lookman at atalanta role today and seems to suit him.

[The Kraken]

Attendance 12,120.

[CB Fry]

Get big boy on. He's got to score one goal in our colours surely.

[Lighthouse]

‘Tator says Bednarek has been ‘a colossus’ for us over the years. Good grief.

[Chez]

we nearly scored from a set piece.

Our press is not good.

[redkeith]

Surprised that Swansea are playing Franco on the left,  I seem to remember that he was very much a right winger !

He also said Russel Martins a good guy and will be back in the game soon 🙄

[Chez]

Swansea break, two unmarked in the middle. Bednarek thankfully cuts out the cross. How does that happen when you are playing five at the back.
