Of course I'm so happy about the result but... Why is it with no real goalkeeper didn't we take the opportunity to score some goals? Instead we give up and just waste time...
Just a thought

Quantity didn't matter today, it was just about winning

keep it in the corner, keep possession... or... hit a shot, he saves it, punts it up field, opportuntity for them?
not about the amount scored today, just who ever scores 1 better

With only a few minutes left it made sense to keep it in the corner.

GAME WAS WON.
THIS LEAGUE MISTAKES WILL BE PUNISHED INSTANTLY.
SMART TACTICAL FINISH.

Because if we tried risking getting that second and we failed and they either broke or lumped it into the right area we could have possibly had 1 point instead of 3.

we played really smart football in those last few minutes - something we've usually failed to do.
think how many times in the past we are defending a one goal lead, misplace a pass etc then the oppo go down the other end and we impersonate 11 headless chickens on adrenaline??
The purpose of the game is to win.
I did think that had Campbell stayed on his feet (which he could have done) he might well have collected that ball and beat Vorm to then tap it in the open net.
Now that would have been a sweet ending, but in percentage terms he made his decision before the contact - if there was any contact (right in front of the lino) it was a greater chance of having Vorm sent off than him collecting the ball and beating a retreating Vorm to the open net.
He was coming right towards our bit of the Ninian - could see it all happen in front of us.
Professional I call that - killer striker instinct.
And Malky has that in spades now - didn't under DJ.

Running down the clock was spot on.
1-0 up all we had to do was keep possession,they had 10 men and didn't pose any threat.We just needed to win, it didn't matter by how many.

I think when Medal went off and kimbo came on we weakened defensively, so given how many attacking players swansea had I think it was the right decision to grind the game out.
I know it was only a few minutes but we were alot more frantic scrambling the ball in our final 3rd without medal

yeah was the right call to keep it in the corner and try and get them to come in and foul us or get a corner rather than take any risks.
