This. We started to play some good football against some of the best teams in the League in the latter days of Guido, very much on the up. Now we just get worse.
I fear for us when we play the top teams again with Bob at the helm. | |

Chelsea/Liverpool away will be some kind of record breakers with Bob in charge! | | | |

We do know. The evidence is on the pitch when we get beaten to most second balls. Did you notice how the West Ham defence tended to win most of their challenges and one-on-ones, whereas often we didn't put in the extra and show the commitment needed to do so? A few exceptions, but in the second half we were abysmal at the back. Mawson, VDH and Rangel all guilty of letting a player get in in front of them even though we had a yard head start. It simply shows lack of do or die mentality; the one think Bob is supposed to be good at instilling.

We were better. Still sh*t and not getting the results, but less likely to completely collapse. So there was something to build on, whereas I don't see how we can rescue it from here unless there's major surgery. | | | |

Many of our players aren't good enough for the championship either.
How many would get into the Brighton, Newcastle, Sheffield Wednesday or Leeds side do you think? Some of them would struggle to make Rotherham's starting XI
And Bob Bradley isn't good enough for League One | |

We've got two centrebacks on the books who were objectively better than Bartley when all three were here, so I'm sure many of our players would look fine in the current Leeds side under a decent manager who knows what he's doing (as long as he doesn't need a plan b). | | | |

I totally agree. It's what I meant by building a squad. I didn't mean using the current team though I could have put it better.
We need personnel who are hungry for promotion next year. The Championship will be a come down for many of our squad now so the motivation is unlikely to be there.
Recruitment now and in the summer especially, should be looking at good, young championship players with potential. How we find them I don't know but that's our scouting departments job. Easier said than done I know but don't expect the Llorente's or Naughton's or Cork's of this world to get us back up. Their heart won't be in it. | |

Vociferous over in the East during the second half. Certainly the worst I've seen it. | |

Who scouts and recommends players to be acquired for the Club? Leadbetter is a name I have heard mentioned. Whoever agreed to pay £15m for Baston must have been on drugs. This is a poor team with poor players, but he in particular, looks decidedly average - no pace, no ball control and no goal-seeking instinct.. Appalling purchase.
I'm more disgusted with the ability of our players to do the basics - tackle, pass and score goals, than I am at the inability of our hapless manager to forge any sort of quality performance from this shower. In fact I am impressed by his post-match interviews where he comes across as perceptive, dignified and honourable. He won't duck responsibility, but it ain't all his fault. Fingers can be pointed in several directions. | | | |

I refuse to accept it. Give us a proper manager, give us two competent defenders, give the best of the under 23s a chance. Move Sigurdsson back to play everything through him and get Fer behind Llorente.
Choose life. [Post edited 26 Dec 2016 20:43]

Another typical supporter who fails to understand the game .ronaldo would struggle to score in this team. Bastion spent most of his time chasing the ball back in our our half covering at left back. Our forwards have zero service .
Our clueless manager has not picked a consistent side ...this is a problem he needs to decisive on an eleven and continue to work with them so partnerships and relating is on the pitch can develop leading to understanding and a pattern of play.
That was
Why we used to be so successful with a squad of less "quality" than we
Now have when we first came into the PL | |

That's garbage. He's had 40 years in football, so he isn't in any way a novice.

I believe BB's appointment was part of a strategy to generate greater interest in the Swans on the other side of the pond. Increased interest and success would potentially increase commercial opportunities which in turn would fuel a growth in revenue etc etc. This appears to be reflected in some of the Swansea Forums which have already seen an increase in American contributors since BB arrived.
If things carry on as they are,it's a cert that Swansea will be in the Championship next season. The squad FG and BB have been working with is in my opinion the poorest for a number of seasons. FG took a lot of stick at the start of the season, but I think he was dong a reasonable job all things considered.
If I were K & L, I would be taking a really good look at how Southampton do things, they appear to have a good scouting system and an excellent academy. | | | |
