🔵⚪️ Is it healthy for #htafc to have two No 1 goalkeepers?
Was interesting that Lee Grant recalled Owen Goodman on Saturday. Insists he's not under pressure to play OG.
But rotating goalkeepers is not a recipe for success; LG will soon have to make a final call on Goodman and Lee Nicholls.

You would hope whoever ends up buying #SWFC will:
1) Engage and communicate with the fans on a regular basis
2) Bring in football people to run the club from top to bottom
3) Articulate what the long term plan is on and off the pitch.
Some easy wins there.

🔵⚪️ One of the first names on the #htafc teamsheet after the international break? Radinio Balker.
Has shown what he’s all about in the last two matches. Has stepped up and taken his chance.
Lee Grant will be desperate for RB to come back from international duty unscathed.

It’s now nine matches without a win for #SWFC. One victory in 15 Championship matches.
Loads of good players left the club in the summer and weren’t replaced, leaving Henrik Pedersen with a skeleton squad. This team needs some help but that’s in the hands of the EFL. 🦉⚽️

🔵⚪️ Strikers working well together in tandem. Strikers scoring goals. What is this wizardry at #htafc?!!
Back-to-back home wins would certainly ease the pressure building on Lee Grant. Most results elsewhere at the top of League One are also going their way.

🔵⚪️ Three goals in as many outings for Bojan Radulovic. Always felt he was a player worth persevering with. Is the best forward #htafc have when it comes to holding the ball up and bringing others into play. Now getting the goals to add to his all round game.

The underlying numbers show that #SWFC have lacked ruthlessness in front of goal this season.
They're underperforming against their expected goals total by five goals (11 scored from 16.15 xG).
Only so much HP and his staff can do on the training ground to address it. 🦉⚽️

🔵⚪️ We're not yet a third of the way through the season but Plymouth is a must-win for #htafc. Town are already six points off the play-off pace, having won just one of their last six league matches.
The players owe Lee Grant and the fans a big performance.

Tonight's result means #SWFC are winless in their last nine home league matches (D3 L6), including all eight so far this season (D2 L6) – it is already their longest ever start to a home campaign without winning at Hillsborough.
Next up at S6? The Steel City derby. 🦉⚽️

FT: #SWFC 1 Norwich 1. The wait for a home win goes on.
But the players put in an outstanding shift and played some good stuff. Could have been a different story had they taken their chances.
Warm ovation for the team at full time. One more to go before the break. 🦉⚽️

You really can't take your eyes off this one. It has been a really entertaining affair between two struggling teams. Both sides have created chances but have lacked cutting edge in the final third. Nine minutes left. One apiece.

This is where the issues come for #SWFC. Henrik Pedersen has got a threadbare squad to work with for three-game weeks. He doesn't have lots of options to turn to off the bench to freshen things up.
There are some tired players out there and Norwich have got their tails up. 🦉⚽️

Schwartau fires wide when well-placed after collecting Sargent's neat pass.
That's the third big opportunity Norwich have passed up tonight. #SWFC have to stop switching off or they will eventually get punished. 🦉⚽️

The visitors have been dreadful but #SWFC have constantly put them under pressure. The players have given the fans something to get behind. Has been great to watch. 🦉⚽️

Big round of applause from the home faithful after great pressing from Bannan and Lowe. #SWFC are pushing Norwich back and forcing them into unforced errors.
