When will the penny drop? 00:44 - Aug 18 with 18359 viewsDr_Parnassus

Everything that was warned about with regards to switching to a style that the players aren’t suited to is now visible to most. There is a very good reason we didn’t start trying to be Brazil of the 1970’s over the last 2 seasons… and as a result saw the side be one of the best in the league… it’s because the manager realised the limitations of the squad and played to their strengths. That’s management.

I am wondering at what point the collective penny will drop that we cannot continue to play this way UNTIL we have the squad capable to do it. The Championship is too strong a league to be doing that, last time we got to this level we were a slick, well oiled machine with players capable of playing Premier League football in Dyer, Williams, Rangel and Britton. That spine would go on to win the League Cup, finish top half in the Premier League and perform well in Europe…. A championship spine it was not.

We had the players with ability leagues above the level they were playing at meaning we could afford to take some risks with regards to playing style. A nearing prime Leon Britton in league 1 seems a bit laughable now doesn’t it? That’s because it was.

The situation sadly is not the same today. We need to play to our strengths, get some points on the board, get the players in that we need and slowly incorporate the system you want. People talk of long term plans… and then change a system overnight?! We will get slaughtered at this level.

How about that actually becomes the longer term plan touted about and we slowly implement it while protecting our Championship status? Too mad an idea?

We do not want to lose our league position and drop down to league 1 as I see some people now happily stating they wouldn’t mind. I find that sad to read and extremely naive.

Relegation won’t mean us having an easy season to test this style against, we will lose even more players, have less income to replace them and the spiral continues. It’s an arrogant point of view to think relegation can be handled easily by the club.

Relegation is not a positive option and the fact we have gone from play offs to the Premier League to accepting the realities and the weighing up of pros and cons of League 1 football in such a short space of time should tell you something ain’t right.

I like Russell Martin, I think he has a good future in the game, my issue is not with him and I hope he stays for a long time to build something. My issue is with the attitude surrounding everything at the moment that we must play a certain way immediately, regardless of the damage it will cause.

Doesn’t bother me in the slightest.

Ask Keith it I have reported a single post or complained about anything anyone has said in this discussion. It’s amusing to see you all squirming after attacking fans of this club week after week, and now having it proven to you that you got it wrong.

I have the upper hand because it’s my OP, laid bare, completely proven to be accurate. I am willing people to return to that on topic discussion but the trolls among us obviously want to avoid that at all costs.

You are exposing yourself.

I am killing the enjoyment for the trolls who want to be able to impose themselves and make such comments with impunity. Sadly I will never let that happen.

You will just have to improve or continue to be frustrated about big bad Dr P.

I think we need to get a whip around for some subtitles for this poster.

It’s becoming a habit.

Literally no clue what that was supposed to say I’m afraid 🤷‍♂️

Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

Don’t be silly, trolls can’t discuss on topic posts.

They are on losing ground then and they know it.

Personal tittle tattle, while self defeating to the wider audience, you can’t really lose - but you can’t win either. You just keep saying the same silly meaningless things.

That’s why trolls like to stay in that realm and any suggestion of football talk or on topic discussion is terrifying. That means they have to think, make points and be put in a position to be proven wrong.

That’s not where they want to be. But id welcome it if anyone is interested….

I try and help.
I had to highlight two posters hitherto as they are perfect example of the Troll genre.
I have never ever had an exchange free of rancour from either.

Nothing changed since the first game under Russell. Normally if a new manager is implementing a new style/system you can see progress after 10/20 games for the better.

Even when you know, you never know?

Indeed, many of these posts could have been written yesterday and nobody would be able to tell the difference.

The problems that many of us saw in the opening few weeks and months are still there to this day.
