Reply | 2 tier keir wants to send troops to Ukraine
at 16:16 23 Feb 2025
Hang on now, if they have lost, as you claim, then surely they are no longer a threat...or if they are still a threat, they haven't yet lost....come on, explain that.
That's ignoring the obvious guff that it is. He doesn't have to keep sending troops to die, he doesn't have to advance. He could dig in and just use airpower, artillery and stealth to keep weakening the Ukrainian army. Why keep trying to advance then?

Putin doesn't seem to mind sending tens of thousands of ordinary Russians to die. |

I remember being sat in front of him in the centre stand, my mate Alan turned around and say "oi Leighton what....." he was cut off by Leighton, hand covering microphone, saying "shut the fork up mun, I'm on the radio, working"
Made the other 2 of us laugh anyway. |

That's why a few of say give him a chance til seasons end and see if he does good enough and then, does he want the job.
It ticks a few boxes including the "dirt cheap" option! |

I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt because I don't know him personally.
He may be a complete git, how would I know? Being bad at your job doesn't make you a bad person. |

I actually have faith that Sheehan won't be scared to tweak things to keep the oppo guessing.
That was a big part of the problem under Williams and back then under Martin, we did the same things week after week, we were slow, we were predictable and that is an awful combination unless you are happy to be bored and to not win most weeks.
I guess now we will also find out if our squad is all that weak, or is it at least mid table good? |

It's another bery telling stat for me, I went back through the previous 4 games, Coventry, Sheff Weds, Bristol and Stoke and Sky credited us with 5 clear cut chances in total.
Yesterday they credited us with 6. More clear cut chances in one match under Sheehan than the previous 4 under Williams. In 2 of Williams games we didn't even manage a single clear cut chance.
So no, it can't be a coincidence that in one game we create 6 clear cut chances and win and then in 4 games we manage 5 clear cut chances and win only once. It's also not a coincidence that we scored 3 and it should have been more, in my opinion. |

Reply | An important reality for those responsible for appointing our new manager
at 12:08 23 Feb 2025
There's a group of us on here who've been saying all of the above for a while. Play to squad strengths, play pragmatic football, not suicidal possession based. Move the ball more quickly, get it forward more quickly, try and hit the runners with through balls and hit early crosses to runners in the box. Press the defence hard and quickly.
Walking football is for people of my age and older, not for the pro leagues.
Sheehan got it dead right yesterday. Leave him there til seasons end if he keeps it going, and then decide. Don't rush into appointing someone now. The next manager/head coach has to be right, then he needs to be allowed to get some players he actually wants and maybe things will head in the right direction again.
Even Guardiola is struggling with Guardiola football right now. |

He may be on the verge of something bigger than he's achieved before. I hope not because he's a dangerous clown but UK politics is in such a sad state it feels like a lot of people might do something different.
It'd be a shame if that was vote reform. |

The report I saw said two police were attacked, a civilian tried to help them and got killed.
I'm puzzled why a knifeman could do this when French police carry guns.
Still, it's been labelled a terrorist attack because he allegedly said "Allahu Akbar" during his attack.
Bloody religious lunacy apparently strikes again. |

Now I'm really confused. Hiw is calling Starmer a clown and saying if only people knew the truth, how is that antisemitic?
Not to defend the OP because I think he's a fruitloop but I just don't see it and without knowing what he edited out it's even harder to judge.
If what was posted was that bad why didn't the mods remove the thread? |

I've consistely criticised Grimes BUT not because I think he's a poor player. I think he was overly negative, prone to dropping too deep and creating problems in our own defence but it wasn't all his fault.
I blame the managers too, too long with Martin and then Williams, this idea that possession is king, is more important than all else. I think Southampton going up had some people believeing in Martin again, until this season when the Saints threaten to have the worst ever season.
Williams was cut of the same cloth and has us being boring and poor in attack. By this time Grimes had been here too long as was stale, in my opinion. We needed to move Grimes on, to refresh the midfield. Grimes being sold really was the best thing for him and for Swansea.
People think I hate Grimes, I don't. I don't hate anybody who has or still does play for us.I can have an opinion about how good or bad they are, it doesn't mean there's hate.
Every player has a time at a club and sometimes they outstay that time, I think Grimes is one of those.
What we saw today was a retun of fun. The Swans hasn't been fun for ages. It was today and long may it last. |

I'm giving them all a 10, including Sheehan.
It can't have been so easy for Sheehan to lift them, to get them firing like that after the last 2 months.
From the first whistle evrything was better. We wanted it today and the smiles on the players faces at the end was worth 1000 words.
Vipotnik was better, Ronald was better, Franco and O'Brien were massive. We could easily have had 5 today against a deent Blackburn side that we made look poor. Lets hope this is just a syart and not a one off. I live in hope again instead of in resignation.
For the first time in ages I got properly excited, up out of my seat cheering which scared the wife and dogs.

He's possibly a nice bloke he's just a rubbish manager/coach.
Sheehan showed straight away what a competent coach can do, he clearly has the players respect and that at the end, when he did the fist pumps but then he called to the players and got Franco invovled, it's a clear "we're in it together" moment. He's not a coach who's throwing players under the bus.
Williams should have gone weeks ago. We're there now though and today was immensely enjoyable. Proper football. |
