Probably won't attend due to weather and Sunday game. Why do they have to mess with Saturday games? For me at least, feels completely different to a Saturday game. First decent opposition for a while, likely to result in a drop firmly back to the middle of the table unless LW has come up with some new ideas. 1-3 14444 |

This is now the poorest attacking Swansea team I have seen in a long time. I have watched Ronald go from an exciting, free running forward into a player clearly lacking confidence, shackled by the tactics employed by LW. To suggest it is nothing to do with the manager is being incredibly generous towards him. Some might say deluded. |

With you. Most exciting view this weekend is likely to be at the North/East stand corner and not on the pitch given the visitors. |

Understand. But when moving forward from defence the players have the same view as me looking up the pitch. Granted, less elevated. |

Watching from the South Stand with Swansea trying to move forward from defence, I see no evidence than any form of coaching has taken place. |

Have to say I agree about LW and there is no sign of improvement. Moving forward Swansea remain poor. Ronald and Eom need to get ball in the middle not 2" from either touchline. Not sure I saw a single pass forward into the centre today. LW seems to prefer ineffective piddling about on the wings, rarely resulting in any danger to the opposing team. Feed balls into the middle while breaking forward at pace and put Eom and Ronald in there to finish them off. |

Little value in looking up when there is no movement from your teammates. There is no fluidity in the team. All very rigid and stiff. Not a team that a skillful player such as Ronald would excel in. Eom is struggling for the same reason. It is also why Patino was not at his best last season despite clearly being an exceptionally talented player. However LW seems to think he is doing a good job after his peacocking on the pitch at the end of the Norwich game. |

LW looks like a competitor in one man and his dog spending the whole match running around his technical area shouting instructions. Surely this should all be sorted at the training ground. |

Have to disagree. A good defender, very rarely beaten for pace. Had the ability to move forward at pace and potential to make or score goals. This did not fit in with the plodding, slow forward movement from the back advocated by Williams. Quality players are stifled by this manager. |

I genuinely believe, and did so prior to the end of last season that Duff was a better manager than Williams. Under Duff Swansea would still score goals on a break after dispossessing the opposition (e.g Patino goal against Sheffield Wednesday). There is no sign of this now. If possession is gained, it usually ends with a back pass to defense and then the keeper. |

Just put Wood or Cabango in goal. Will halve the amount of back passes. |

In training sideways and back passes should be banned. Surely would result in a much better team. Swansea also lack movement when midfielders are looking for forward passing opportunities. I believe tactics and coaching are more important than the transfer market right now. [Post edited 14 May 20:39]
