Fantastic result from a team that is playing their hearts out.
Look at the age of the starting 11 today. Only Olsson over 30. Two keepers 29. Rest of the team average age 22.
Bright manager and coaching team, full of energy and ideas. Adventurous but pragmatic as well. Obviously know how to spot a player.
Crowd really desperate to support them and willing them on.
We could build something really special here again.
Don’t you bloody dare let them down by failing to bring in the 4 players or so that could make all the difference.

It's only two wins, it's going to be a long season, but the grit I've seen in the last two games, coupled with moments of real quality has me optimistic.
Your sentiments are spot on - 3 to 4 decent loan signings and we will have a good season on our hands here. | |

How about 6-8 loans to actually replace those that have gone?
You need plenty of depth for 46 games a season. | | | |

Can you have that many loans?
The board are unlikely to sanction that many - we need to be careful, replace with quality not quantity and bring the U23s in when required. | |

That’s not going to happen.
That’s why I said 4.
We need 1 CF, 1 DM / CM, 1 CB essential. And preferably 1 more who can play both CB and DM.
If there is no chance if Bony playing, another CF as well. | | | |

What is Bony's prognosis?
If he's still here in January, he could be a beast at this level - we are making chances right enough. | |

Plenty of untapped quality in the squad, we just need 2 or 3 in key positions. No point bringing in players simply for depth when the kids brought through have never let us down. | | | |

They do not all have to be loans as you can get players on a free, as we already have. | | | |

No. We don’t just need 2.
We need 4. | | | |

Centreback, holding midfielder, striker if Bony is as broken as we all suspect. | | | |

Striker is a must. Ollie played his socks off (not trying to be funny), but he looked knackered at the end.
Must have back up. |  | | |

Someone better tell Potter he needs 4 new players. He clearly isn't in the loop. | |

| Don’t you dare SK, JL, HJ on 18:20 - Aug 11 with 7789 views | Dr_Winston |
Plainly we need another CB. With Potter willing to switch to three at the back perhaps that's all we'd need there. We definitely need someone to sit deep in the midfield allowing Fer and Celina the freedom to make things happen at the other end. Plus another forward.
We could get away with three. Four or five good additions and expectations can rise accordingly. |  |

The frustrating thing is that it wouldn't take much to have a real crack at this division. It's largely junk and we still have some decent players left after the firesale. |  |

Pearlman has been thrown under the bus and his words "I'll be surprised if we don't get any loans" usually means the opposite. |  |

Three signings would be ideal, but two would be realistic for the current squad. A forward, a midfielder and a center back are all we really need.
Something tells me we're really going to see if all the success the u23 have had translates into first team success. Cian Harris (CB), Aaron Lewis (RB), George Byers (CAM) and Daniel James (LW) are all going to be given a chance IMO. | | | |

I'd love Ethan Ampadu. He plays centre back or defensive midfield, he"s young & hungry, he can play a bit, has a family connection.... & already has his own song. | | | |

After todays game, I would use our under 23's, more fight and passion. |  | | |

“We have got to be careful when it comes to assessing deadline days and transfer windows,” he said.
“Most people thought this time last year that the club had had a good window, with Renato Sanches and Tammy Abraham coming in on loan and Sam Clucas arriving.
“You can only assess whether the window’s been successful at the end of the season. You can see then whether players have helped you win games, improved the playing style or improved the environment.
“We have brought four players in for not much money. There’s a point where you have to have players who want to be here. We want a group that’s together and we want players who want to fight for Swansea City.
“I understand that people want external solutions, but we have focused on the internal solutions.
“There’s another window open now and we can do some work in that.
“But I don’t want to be one of those managers who whinges about what we have got or what we haven’t got.
“For me it’s about working with the players who are here.”
The loan market is open until the end of August, and the Swans will look to bolster Potter’s squad.
“I am aware we need to carry on improving the group we have — it’s a long season — but that’s not to the detriment of the players who are here,” the former Ostersund manager added.
“I wouldn’t say there will be many more coming in, but there’s a chance that we will get some players.
“What we must do is get the right ones. It’s about getting the right players who want to play for Swansea City.” | |
