Millwall will come bowling in to Swansea with their sights firmly set on Rossi’s chip bar renowned internationally for its chips. In recent times their bowling in to towns has caused a few headaches, on Saturday for example they had a right old do with supporters of WBA. There was lots of dancing, the odd punch and a bloke at one point had a bit of a kip on the floor.
Millwall fans come bowling in to another town yet again. Utter mayhem
The game will be played at he newly named stadium also known as the ‘ Used to be called the Liberty stadium’ in Swansea. A chap called Martin’s Organ is currently in the building and it is expected this week he will have some lovely new signs put up if he gets a few hours off. Which is nice.

Obafemi for Ntcham. |  |

Too many defensively minded players for my liking. Too quick to turn back and play a languid pass. At some point I hope RM will get around to coaching us to play in the Red zone.
Best player in this system so far is Naughton, he's loving it.
We need to see MO to spice it up with his pace, and LW to add some craft and maybe some zip. Downes for all his nice touches is a spare part. Swap him for LW and let Grimesy orchestrate from deep pivot.
70% possession and ZERO shots on goal. This has to improve or the boos in the stadium could be an issue.
Make the changes, 2-0.

This already much better.
Shoulda been 1-0, but MO fluffed his lines for a tap in
(crowd awfully quiet ?)

Well that was dreadfully boring, that can’t just be me being negative as I have been accused of lately, can it? I wasn’t imagining it?
Slow, pondersome, predictable and just an all round snooze fest. Did I mention slow? I hope we aren’t going to have people pretending this performance was good because we had a lot of the ball again.
These games really are winnable regardless of “time”. God help us when we come up against a Fulham. 4-1 away winners at Brum today.

He has to be given time....we are in transisiton all that Cooper ball to be coached out of the 60% of the team who were not here under Cooper but they read his tactics manual by mistake

Worst start to a season in almost 20 years and no sign of getting better. | | | |

We looked ok 2nd half, Obafemi should have scored, but i was quite encouraged by us 2nd half, goals will come I'm sure, kept losing my stream first half so can't comment on that. | |

There really is no excuse in my book.
Yes there was a bit of upheaval, but that’s football, there usually is when managers change hands. There was when Cooper took over.
We can’t keep harping back to this pre season stuff. We are 10 games into his tenure on the weekend. | |

Walsh also helped us go forward when he came on, looks up more than Grimes. But he’s still a little rusty. Hamer MoTM. | | | |

Well that was like last season but without the penalty!
Controlling the game but we are desperately lacking someone to be brave in the final third, hopefully it could be Walsh or Ntcham who are still not match fit but we desperately need that player.
He has hell of a job on his hands to integrate these new lads into the squad and get the attacking confidence in the existing squad of players.
Tough one tonight. |  |

Possession, territory & passing all look better BUT we so far cannot translate that to decent goal attempts - both us & Millwall had the same 4 attempts on target despite our ball & territory dominance. | | | |

Hamer was very good commanded his area and in control, great performance from him. | |

Another close to a win game.
Created chances
Goalkeeper kept them in it
Really need something happen about the shocking level of refereeing. Both teams suffered but Swans more so.
Again more shots and more attempts on target than last season's average and still Cooperball lovers think otherwise!
My moan would be the pace of Laird and Ntcham are so slow. |  |

Did we control it though?
I think people are punch drunk on possession. If we have the majority of possession then fans usually say they controlled the game. But it’s not true.
You can control the game without the ball too. They did it for large spells, they let us have the ball and tried to counter. They would be thinking they controlled the game as their game plan worked better than ours.
They had 36% of the possession but had just as many shots on target as we did. | |

Tell you something, would drop Grimes for the next game and go Ntcham and Downes!
Grimes doesn't help with a game that needs speeding up, doesn't help at all... Not saying he is a not a good player but he doesn't have that creativity when playing possession based football, need someone with a bit of thrust in the middle and a straight shoot out for the holding role, Downes at present wins that holding role over Grimes. | |

I thought we did, lacked quality in the final third... That's the issue and the reason why we are looking at free agents. | |

Looks can be deceiving.
Would far rather a less PR-centric manager who isn't so focused on looks, style and no substance. The bloke needs to focus on us winning. Maybe he lacks focus. Maybe his focus is elsewhere.......
Time to get results, quick. It's what matters, always.

Still not true unfortunately.
Coopers first season, first 7 games = 81 attempts (33 on target)
Coopers second season, first 7 games = 78 attempts (27 on target)
This season, first 7 games = 65 attempts (22 on target)
Another myth sadly. | |
