Serious question.... Are they not feeling embarrassed by their performances? Are they not feeling like fakes? If I was one of them I know I would be feeling all of those things. Rangel where is your professional pride man? |  |

In fairness to him he was shouting at himself/wincing everytime he cocked up. He was visibly frustrated - he just isn't good enough anymore.
We are just a championship team at the minute - we aren't gonna score many and we lack movement.
Transfer windows from Monk on have been shocking and are now biting. |  | | |

I doubt we would survive in the Championship the way we are playing at the moment. | | | |

3 prem quality players?
Bit of an overreaction? If we’ve only got 3, there probably are PL teams without any. | | | |

You could put eleven players out, taken from the Swansea league and they would be embarrassed with themselves after the game.........but ultimately those players would not be good enough.
In terms, players will be embarrassed but if they are not good enough, they are simply not good enough. |  |

Why do they all turn up in identical suits at home games? |  | | |

This is just a guess mind Headmaster, but maybe, just maybe, its to all look the same. | | | |

Get the training kit on, I say. It's a football match not a dinner party | | | |

You would hope so out of professional pride.
I have my doubts though as regardless of performance levels and results, players still manage to pick up obscene weekly salaries. Especially with a squad like ours, where is the incentive to play well and be pushed for your place?
Even sat on the bench, players will pick up a bigger wedge in a week than most of us would earn in a couple of years or more so are they embarrassed by their performance or care? I'm not so sure | | | |

Identity can be important.
Why would some players from elsewhere give a damn.
Only here for the dosh.
And thats the point - having ben, joey, jazz, macca, ash, tayls (?) gave us a welsh identity.
Like curt, robbie, and charlo, wyndham, dudley under Tosh.
Add in the lifers like leon, rangel, and nath. It worked.
Not sure about our identity now ? [Post edited 25 Oct 2017 22:28]

To be fair he hasn't played much,34 y old.he shouldn't really have been on the park,
But huge huge credit to him.
True Jack Bastard that he is! | | | |

Yup not Rangels fault but Club not signing cover. I do fear for him (and us) if he's marking the likes of Sanchez on Saturday. Perhaps Clucas will step in at left back so Naughton can revert to RB. |  | | |

Lethargic? Not bothered? Half arsed? Unconcerned? Stop their wages being paid into the bank and watch them run to to the club accountancy dept with a speed, motivation and purpose like you never saw once last night! |  |

Im sure by now the players can smell the stench of how we, as a club are currently run by a megalomaniac DOF and baglan Spar boy, hell bent on putting vending machines in every orifice possible.
What chances does a manager have with waldorf and statler in charge?
I even heard today, Feck knows if its true that HJ already has 2 signings in mind for January, you could probably guess them too! |  | | |

Just a point of order.
We didn't have many premier league quality players when we came into the league 7 seasons ago but we have a football identity and a work ethic 2nd to none.
We shocked many teams with our passing game with relatively unknown players but all the players knew what to do and the game plan was the same week in week out.
Every player was comfortable with the ball as that was the way we played and i specifically remember we would pass teams off the park and now we can't seem to put 3 passes together and players are hiding.
Last night we were live on Sky TV and the uk football public and see what a mess we are in.
It was embarrassing but as you say unfortunately £35k plus a week makes these players feel less so. | | | |

That’s kind of the point.
If we’ve got 3 PL quality players now, it’s 3 more than we had when we came up. We then added the likes of Lita, Graham, Routledge and Caulker, so its arguably 3 more than Rodgers had all season.
The recruitment has been shambolic yes, but there’s still more than enough quality out there and Man for man we are certainly better than at least 3 other clubs.
Rodgers would be rubbing his hands with glee if he had quality like Sanches and Mesa to work with, he’d find a way of playing that utilised their strengths and didn’t expose their weaknesses, that’s really not happening at the moment.
Guidolin would have snapped your hand off for this squad over the one he kept up or the one that started last season. | | | |

Monk developed plan B, i.e defensive structure & shape which saw us finish 8th but that was because he still had players from the Laudrup days with some attacking intent in them, so it was the perfect combo.
Slowly he stamped that out, got rid of the Spaniads and we began the slope we're still on today.
Looking back, Guidolin done excellent, also Clement last season showed fire and passion, fist pumping the crowd. Now its gone flat.
As has been mentioned, our best form of defense was keeping the ball away from the other team. Team selection was practically the same, every week. Everyone knew their job, everyone knew our philosophy and everyone bought into it.
Now we are just 'another club' fighting for mediocrity. | | | |
