Swansea City v Plymouth Argyle : Match day thread on 00:34 - Feb 4 by RichardO | No just scared that his lack of pace would be exposed so by playing the safe ball he would be safe, going against what Luke Williams has said he wants, the ball being moved quickly forward to expose the oppositions weaknesses. Would even say that the substitutions weakened us but then again you could not expect Ronald to play any more minutes than he did, his awareness of what was happening all around him was excellent telling old head Naughton what he needs to do, Captian material showing after one game.

Luke was getting very animated screaming at the players to get the ball forwards I think given a kittle more time Luke will deliver us good football | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Agreed Vetch, some of the players seem stuck in the comfortable way of sideways and back passing. Grimes yesterday in the final minute of injury time passing back to the keeper. People expecting an immediate turnaround are going to drive themselves nuts expecting that to happen. | ![](/images/avatars/27565.gif) |

More animated than any manager we have had for the last few years. Overall, on another day we win that game. However, defence as all over the place and it all seemed frantic as opposed to controlled fast attacking football. Ronald, at last, a player who has pace and can cross. But to who?

It was frustrating when several players not only Grimes were passing backwards in the final minutes it was as if they thought we were one nil up not down. In fairness to Willams it was only his fourth game in charge,he is trying to change how we play,integrate née players and cope with injuries. I'm sure he will get it right and keep us up. I liked how he set us up yesterday 4 at the back so 4-2-3-1 but when attacking we were 2-4-3-1. We need Key back as whilst Naughts had a sound game he lacks the pace and stamina to fulfill that role too often. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Spot on. I would be interested to see us play 4-1-4-1 with only Grimes in the holding role. I think this would give us options all over the pitch if the number 9 can contribute. | ![](/images/avatars/9155.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I've had the same thoughts a 4 in front of Grimes of the new Polish guy whose name I struggle with on the left,Cooper and Patterson inside with Ronald on the right | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

We will see what Williams does to address the situation with the limited resources he has at his disposal but at the end of the day that is what makes a good manager making the best use of what he has got. He looks as if he has had some success in bringing in players my concern is that some of our players in the middle of the park really stick to their supposed position and are not fluid enough to realise that being an attacking midfield does not mean ending permanently stuck in a front five in a line when attacking and similarly defensive midfielders stuck alongside the defenders. Did mention in another post about one move that the movement was really good pulling Plymouth players all over the place with ours moving out of the our dedicated positions but we still kept our defensive shape in place. So signs that Williams will get a tune out of the players fingers crossed | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) | Login to get fewer ads

Personally I would swap Patino for Cooper. He is more likely to play killer pass. How Parker will fit into the team when fit I'm not sure. | ![](/images/avatars/9155.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I cannot fathom why Patino isn't one of the first names on the team sheet. Certainly when the other option is a Grimes/Fulton combo. I think we have to face the reality that Cooper just doesn't have the level of technical ability required to really make a difference. A bit of dog to bring on late in games maybe to retain the press, but there are too many question marks about him at this point for him to be a starter for me. | ![](/images/avatars/8802.gif) |

One of my many frustrations yesterday was the way Fulton strolled around , not offering anything going forward, the amount of times he would make a pass then remain static when the opportunity to step two yards forward into space to receive the ball with time to turn play forward was annoying to say the least. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

I think it’s because hes positionally awful when we haven’t got possession. I’d still love to find a way to accommodate him though. He’s ridiculously talented. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I didn't realise how bad Yates header was as it was the far end from me. His confidence is shot and yet the only way he'll get it back is to start scoring. Pato, Yates and Cabango should have given us 3 goals in the 1st half. Still, even though I'm so disappointed, I have to recognise a far better performance. | ![](/images/avatars/8863.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Trouble is, Wood seems to think he's Beckenbauer, gets the ball, strolls around with it, looks about, rinse and repeat. Someone seriously needs to kick his arse. | ![](/images/avatars/8862.gif) |

that's jot a bad call o was just thinking about using our own players and the more ti think about it 4-1-4-1 gives us options 2-3-4-1 with the ball and 4-3-2-1 without it let's hope Luke reads the board | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |
