Brentford V Swansea Championship Play Off ++++

‘We’re always a man down with…’ – Hordes of Swansea City fans rip into one player after Brentford defeat

Swansea City will be spending another season in the Championship after their play-off final defeat against Brentford at Wembley today.

the72.co.uk

Looks like the "blame game" has started already for the Swansea fans!

Since joining from Aston Villa in January, the Republic of Ireland man has featured 23 times for Swansea including today’s game, scoring five and assisting two.

He’s scored some spectacular goals for the club and some important ones too, but he’s often come under the spotlight among Swans fans who’ve had mixed reviews of his spell in South Wales.

He’s a year remaining on his Villa contract but it looks as though he could be sold off in the summer to help fund Villa’s other transfer aims.


See what these Swansea City fans had to say on Twitter about his performance against Brentford today:

Conor Hourihane is as bad a loan signing as Renato Sanches
— TRW (@TRW91) May 29, 2021

I never want to see Hourihane in a Swansea shirt again
— Dan (@danieldaviesj7) May 29, 2021

Hourihane has been a real disappointment was expecting so much more from him
— MR HUGHES (@swanspassion) May 29, 2021

Hourihane has played his final game for Swansea
— Jack (@JackDaviesSCFC) May 29, 2021

I was so excited when Conor Hourihane signed on loan. Ultimately such a disappointment. #Swans.
— Mark (@crazycraven) May 29, 2021

If Hourihane isn't taking free kicks, why is he on the pitch? He offers nothing else
— Dan Burn stan account (@returnofthemaff) May 29, 2021

It needs brave changes – Hourihane has to go as he’s not been in it and not even taking most set pieces! Have to get Cullen on and I suppose Dhanda because he current set up hasn’t been capable of a shot at goal never mind scoring 3
— Nigel Davies #BackToJack (@touchfarvetched) May 29, 2021

Nobody saying anything about most of our team jogging back, Lowe, Hourihane and co absolutely embarrassing
— Dan (@danieldaviesj7) May 29, 2021

I had a feeling this shocking part of Swans would show today. The non attacking passive Swans
Hourihane, Naughton have had shockers. Woodmans decision to come out for pen was awful.
We look terrible
— Jonesy (@craigyjones1983) May 29, 2021

Conor Hourihane crawled back for the second goal, can’t wait for next season when I don’t have to watch him anymore.
— tom (@scfcthomas) May 29, 2021

Hourihane has been terrible for weeks so slow
— Ade Owen (@Welshade) May 29, 2021

We're always a man down with Hourihane in the starting line up. I'll take him proving me wrong..
— J. Ambrose (@jacks1912) May 29, 2021

You’ve heard of August 2019 Borja Baston, now we have January 2021 Conor Hourihane.
— Jordan (@JordanWebber96) May 29, 2021

hourihane can travel back to villa at half time
— dylan (@Dylan_SCFC) May 29, 2021

Only positive about that half is that we only have 45 minutes until Conor Hourihane leaves
— ( ▀ ͜͞ʖ▀) (@swansmatt) May 29, 2021

Don't understand why Hourihane is starting ahead of Smith tbh
— Zac Morgan (@ZacMorgan_) May 29, 2021

Thought hourihane was a big game player
— daniel (@SCFC_Daniel) May 29, 2021

45 minutes left of Conor Hourihane get in
— swxn. (@Swxnsea) May 29, 2021

Unfortunately, we've been awful first half, Andre's better out wide, Roberts isn't a winger and Hourihane and Lowe might as well not be on the pitch. Invisible. On to the 2nd half….
— christian (@xiancjp) May 29, 2021

Don’t want hourihane or woodman at this club next season.

Brentford’s captain speaks: “It’s unbelievable, I’m so proud,” says the big Swede that is Pontus Jansson in an interview with Sky Sports. “It’s been a hard year but we’re finally there. This year we had a very strong group and we believed in it from day one.

“I could go home to Sweden and retire now as this is what I have dreamed of. A lot of people questioned my move here but I saw something in Brentford and I brought things here that I learned from Marcelo Bielsa at Leeds. I brought his ideas here with me.”

He goes on to say that he will not be returning home to Sweden to retire just yet and a fewe moments laters is saturated with champagne after hoisting the play-off final trophy surrounded by his team-mates.

Leicester City supporters will hope to get the opportunity to visit a new stadium next season after Brentford sealed their promotion to the Premier League.

First-half goals from Ivan Toney and Emiliano Marcondes earned a 2-0 win for the Bees over Swansea in the Championship play-off final at Wembley, the West London club now ready to play in the top flight for the first time since 1947.

Their promotion completes the line-up for the 2021-22 Premier League season, Brentford following Norwich and Watford up from the second tier, with Sheffield United, West Brom, and Fulham going the other way.

For City fans, Brentford’s rise into the Premier League gives them a chance to see a ground they have never been to before.

Emiliano, man of the match, now out of contract. Just interviewed on Sky and said he's hoping Brentford offer him a new deal. (Fingers crossed for him).

I always think it's a shame for the promoted players when they get dumped, and don't get to play in the PL when they've kind of earned it.

Like Rhodes and Nugent [for us].
It must be like a kick in the goolies.

Totally. Must be gutting. You've dreamed of reaching the top league in your sport... think you've made it, and then get sidelined.

I said this when there was talk of us scraping into play offs.
Some players don’t really want promotion because they know they would not be wanted in Premier League.
Not in there own interests to go up.

 

[sambaDTR]

Swansea finished 16 points in front of us in the League. See you next year. Think we will get a good crowd.

And?

Shame, Brentford away was near the top of my list for my annual away games quota. Nice club, friendly fans, plenty of pubs at the old ground that made you welcome.
Pleased for Brentford and I hope they have a good first season (do a sheff utd) in the Premiership.
Now need Lincoln city to replace Brentford in the championship, a very agreeable away game prospect.
