Swansea were slow, narrow and it worked in Rovers favour, it allowed us to get in shape and get numbers behind the ball, Swansea lack a killer passer and actual wing backs. Ldbatuediere is a centre half playing right wing back, Sorinola who came on is surely a better option there? Cabango on the bench for Darling to start was weird as Cabango is one of the best centre backs In the league. Martin's tactics were shocking from the first minute and it was clear he had no plan B. I thought Manning looked as if he'd given up for the afternoon yesterday, a lad on this pitch wh progressively got worse with every minute being played, what I can't understand was Martin saw Swansea have 15 mins of the second half in full flow before JDT then killed the game off with a formation change and the introduction of Edun, after that Swansea gave nothing.

JDT had Rovers well drilled, well organised and I thought we were good value at 2-0. Once we weathered that spell early in the second half I don't think I worried to much about them in all honesty.

Interesting Martin commented on the fact we lined up and played differently to what he watched last week and was expecting Rovers to play like.

Some good extended highlights from Swans TV.

Notice the Wharton save on circa 5 minutes and the Edun clearance on 6:30 minutes. They saved 2 certain goals.

The commentators were gushing over the BBD finish.

He is defending from the back foot. The locals aren't happy with him if you read some of their mb's.
Football is about goals and points not styles.

Funny how listening to that team talk from Dunn's pos that his team got weaker and weaker as he game wore on. Never mind 'explode' his lot 'imploded'. I'm sure if there had been extra time we would likely have scored more. They fell apart after JDT's tactical changes.

The Swansea boss is not a happy bunny about some of the comments the Rovers bench made about his team 😂😂😂. What a mare ar$e trying to deflect his failures onto a team who knocked 3 past his pretty tip tap side.
Now that’s a proper mardarse. Reading a Swansea forum yesterday it would seem that the majority of their fans want him out.

Said from the first I have a good feeling about JDT.

Careful.... it's still early days and in both games the opposition strikers were poor although in fairness Ayala and Wharton were magnificent.
