Our trip to the principality ended in defeat our fifth on the trot and with only three wins in nineteen league games the signs do not look good. With confidence at all time low and no goals in sight and not even a win, Harry Houdini is looking at us with alarming confidence.
Rico picked a 4-4-2 formation and things looked good for 75 mins until the referee and poor defending gave the Welsh side the points which they never really looked like grabbing.
We gave
Willy Gueret the Swans keeper should have been named Wally Gueret after a number of gaffes during the game…kicking away a low shot from Mark Allot then fumbling a Phil Picken shot which presented Paul Shaw with an effort which he looped over the bar. If that had gone in we may have been looking at a first win away from home since January instead
I'll just add that the pre-game atmosphere was superb and the anglo-welsh language was an innovative idea although the Welsh language is mainly spoken in the north. Make no mistake that we started to get nothing from this match and we came away with nothing but they way we played suggests something could come from Rico's reign but is it too late? Sadly Davies and Daniels looked to have played there last games of the season and
Breaking News this morning was that Alan Knill has joined the staff, good coach not a good manager so banish any thoughts of him making the progression. An experiment which you have to applaud Rico for and one which shows that he is desperately trying to keep us in this division. Richardson is one who is comfortable in front of the media and looks to be relaxed something which I'm not sure Roy was…sometimes I found him elusive when asked a direct question to which the same speil came out…we need positives and I'm desperately trying to come up with some…if you find some contact me!!
