Sutekh Now their parachute payments have finished will Swansea have to sell to try and keep their finances reasonably sane?

Can’t really remember the Bolton defeat. Swansea loss hurt but was over in the first half. The Huddersfield defeat was gutting.
For me, the Walsall game was the hardest of them to take. We should have put the tie out of reach in the first half. To screw it up like we did in ET was just heartbreaking.

Bolton was easily the worst for me. I really thought we were there, on the brink of seeing top division football at Reading. I thought we were up. I really couldn't see Bolton pulling it back. To let in a late equaliser, set up, I believe, by a player who shouldn't have been on the pitch, was hard to take. I really thought that was our one chance, and believed it was gone to happen. I was gutted after that.
The other three were just extremely annoying.

It was painful but being in the PL at that time would have been a strange affair as we would have very likely not hosted games at EP.
Believe SJM had already looked at Loftus Road as a temporary home as we either renovated EP or built a new stadium a few years earlier than we did.

Mr Angry The Bolton Play Off final defeat was the worst; we played some great football to beat Tranmere in the semi final, and then took Bolton apart for an hour - Lee Nogan's goal was brilliant, and frankly, you couldn't see us not winning that game. But the missed penalty when we were 2-0 up was the killer, and after injuries to key players such as Nogan and Bernal, we basically ran out of steam on the day.
