Bracknell Town 3, Swans 0
Another abject display from the Swans. If anything, this was even worse than Saturday which was against a decent side. Bracknell were not better than ordinary but Swans failed to create anything at all going forward and looked really dodgy at the back again. With a couple of exceptions, namely Jake Frailing and John Gilbert, they showed little desire or effort, time and again conceding possession.
After 12 minutes Bracknell took the lead when a free kick was headed home at the near post with no Swans defenders even challenging, giving Tyla Dickinson in the Swans goal no chance.
Five minutes before half time Bracknell made it two when a corner was punched into the net by the Bracknell No. 9. Everybody in the ground saw it quite clearly, even the Bracknell fans admitting it was clear handball, except the referee and his linesman.
Bracknell got their third in the 80th minute when they as good as walked the ball into the net.

11th defeat of the season now, not good enough for a play off spot unfortunately unless we can turn our fortunes (and defensive woes) around ... C O Y S 🦢 🦢

Only saw bits of the game, but conceding seven goals in two games you don't need to see any of the game to know we need to strengthen our defence if we want to progress passed this level.
Amazing to be in this position following from where we were five or six seasons back, but we have to face facts. Not saying we change our style of football, but some of our players have reached the top level they can comfortably play at.

Not only did the ref allow the handball goal but he was also dishing out yellows like confetti to Swans players. We already had three players suspended for our game on New Year's Day, don't know if any of the cards today will mean more suspensions.

Yep the referee was poor some of the tackling was awful and the second goal a poor copy of Maradonnas effort ….Walton never ever picked up from Saturday …at least 3 or 4 players are incapable of playing the current system they just are not good enough….the left hand side was a joke in the first half and centre midfield not much better…up front woeful he couldn’t turn a second hand mini in a empty Walmart parking lot Eddie might as well get a rocking chairs one of the best finishers at this level and I have a feeling he is banned from the penalty area…..have to agree with everything written above … Possibly the poorest display from a team in red for a couple years…no passion at all
