I'm not a life long Swans fan...I'm an American fan who took interest in your team once Bradley got the job. I've never had a favorite EPL team, I tend to just follow European teams where Americans get playing time. I can totally simpathize with the gravity of your situation. Many of you have watched your team rise through the levels of English football and get to a point where Swansea is known to be a quality mid-table team. This year, you are most likely gonna be bottom third the whole season if not right at the relegation line. Last year I followed Alerdyce and Sunderland closely, because Deandre Yedlin was on the team. They went down to the final day. THIS Swansea Team is better then they were.
Having said that, maybe I'm biased, but your main issue is not coaching...it's talent level. The defense STILL can't mark a man. Game after game, strikers are left open without a body on them. Is this on the coach? I can recognize the case for that, but I have to put that on the guys on the field. If you are an EPL defender, you should be able to mark a man. Whether it's goals 1 and 3 today, Everton, Crystal Palace, West Brom, the theme is the same...the ball hitting the ground in the box or put to a strikers head while Swans defenders look like statues. Bradley has pointed it out time and time. What do you expect him to do? It's tough to make a turd sandwich taste good. Losing Williams was the worst thing that happened to the swans.
From an outside perspective, I see real good football at times. The team is back to stringing 1 time passes together. I feel that since the Everton game, they have looked good for vast periods of the game only to give up stupid goals. Gilfi, Britton and Fulton are 100% the whole game and should be applauded. They are keepers. The rest of the team could be scrapped...which won't happen, but...
The majority of your fan base is acting like the sky is falling. There are a lot of bottom feeders this year and there is plenty of season left. No coach is going to do any better with the players available. Step back, sack it up and get behind your team.
My 2 cents. Go Swans!

"We can all see Bob is out of his depth, the players probably saw it much much sooner."
My mate plays in Pennard Golf Club and was talking to a guy there who knows Leon well.
Leon told him that straight away Bob was out of his depth. | | | |

Thing is if we wait and our form doesn't change and we give him January to get players and he brings in shit or it doesn't click, we're as good as down. With no chance of any manager in the world keeping us up. All the Americans would soon forget about us and our owners/manager would be nowhere to be seen. No disrespect but we have personal connection with OUR club we pay the money, we travel the country week in week out , we were here before the yanks and we'll be here after. Some of our fans have been watching us for decades, They can spot dud when they see one BB and the owners are certainly duds, Doesn't matter how much he/they talk most our fans know they're out their depth and just spinning PR bullshit on us. I'd give him West Ham we don't win that he has to go at least under Guidolin we could defend decently. | | | |

It just goes to show how little people think before posting
Of course Relegate IS A VERB, if you don't believe me look it up yourself.
ie we will deduct 10 points and relegate them.
The problem is bluey used it in the wrong contextual position. | | | |
