Curtis deserves all the credit if we stay up. Guidolin has no excuses about sickness etc . Stoke missing 5/6 key players and we've not had a shot. Get rid of him now and put Curt back in charge. |  | | |  |

Guidolin came here when we in the shit. Not quite up to our necks but up to our knees. He accepted the job, albeit with a good salary and bonus but put his reputation on the line. There is no doubt that he's helped steady our ship and has got it sailing off again in the right direction. It's a combined team effort though and AC and the other staff seem to have all pulled together.
The original poster must have had an attack of Prosseritis to have posted that crap. Some people are too clueless for words aren't they.... |
You were one of the posters on here berating others for suggesting Monk was not the right guy to take us forward. Clueless or just blind faith? | | | |

Touche my friend. Though I will disagree over Guidolin. I think with a team he could call his own (and a fresh start next season with our PL slate wiped clean) we'd certainly be playing a different (more attacking) way. |  |

It is hard to argue with you on that, nor will I try.
History shows that he favours an aggressive, attacking style from different formations.
He has himself stated in clear terms that he has been working with the established Swansea players and changing up very little, as is his style in "rescue missions."
He is clearly doing what he was hired to do. Why would anyone doubt that when that is finished, he would start with his favoured system? |  |

People can't see past the fact we don't start Montero every week or play a formation that rips teams to shreds. Managers brought in mid season to drag teams away from the relegation zone invariably concentrate on tightening up at the back and nicking points in games the team would previously have lost.
Some like Pulis and Allardyce carry that on the following season, because it is their favoured style anyway. Most start playing their own way once they have had chance to tweak the squad and work on style and formation without the pressure to get immediate results. |  | | |

There are some right Muldoons on this site who need to take a deep breath and actually think before they post.
Before FG and his coaching team took over it was played 21 -19 points, and now it's played 32 - 37 points. He's been brought in to do a job and fingers crossed it looks like he's on course to finish the job.
FG and his team came in when we were 2 points adrift in the relegation zone, with very little investment they have taken an out of sorts team and dragged them up the table. It hasn't been pretty, but it's been by en large effective. A lot of effort goes in to preparing the side for a game, but as soon as they are on the pitch it's down to the players, if things go wrong we have to hope the manager can make changes to inspire the players and change the course of the game. We dont know what options and tactics are prepared in advance for different scenarios, but as the coaching team is a team and they work with the players during the week it may be that decisions around substitutions are a team effort as opposed to 1 persons genius or folly.
It is my belief that we are playing the current system because it's what the players are used to, the management are picking players to do a job and drag us over the line as too much change could be very damaging.
Previously, we have seen other struggling teams bring in managers to try and save them from relegation, did West Brom, Palace or Stoke play with panache and flair when they were in trouble, the answer is no, they tightened up and they lived to fight another day.
Newcastle and Sunderland have both changed their managers this season, anybody fancy changing places with them because their fans would love to be where we are at the moment.
The 3 clubs currently occupying the relegation places are much bigger clubs than the Swans, we are punching above our weight and if FG and AC keep us up we should be grateful. Bet Villa wish they had a manager in charge who was averaging over 1.6 points a game.
The club is going to need to spend a lot of money on new players next season, we need to have someone in charge who knows a good player and can spend that money wisely. Assuming he doesnt take the Italy job, if he keeps us up I would offer FG and his team a new contract. |
"It is my belief that we are playing the current system because it's what the players are used to, the management are picking players to do a job and drag us over the line as too much change could be very damaging."
The cautious way we set up against Aston Villa, which continued against Stoke isn't in my opinion what suits our players. What suited us was ceasing to play narrow and putting some wingers on.
We then finally took the game to Stoke.
Are you saying we don't have the players to do what we did in the last 30 minutes?
Yeah, we're used to not having hardly any efforts on goal. |  |
