Why has he not really made his mark in any of his brief cameos?
I take the point above that the ball was holding up a bit on the pitch, and that it wasn't the only dodgy pass out to Lewis but all of the other players had positive contributions at other times to make up for the odd dodgy pass - Swanson sadly didn't.
It was just a hunch I got. He should have been champing at the bit and starting against his former club. As it was, he failed to make a positive impression during the last 5 minutes.
I've been urging him to do well and I'd love to see him get a proper chance and make it. Those 4 minutes were the first time I looked at him and thought he didn't really have what it took to play in our team.
It was brief, and it is probably very harsh but that was just the way I saw it.
