WBA v Swansea City : Match day thread 06:38 - Aug 29 with 24506 viewsModeratorC

When a team has everything to prove a trip to the Hawthorns isn’t the best pick of venue. However, it’s the next game for Swansea City, who played and lost to a Wycombe side on Wednesday in the worst possible fashion.

T-Joe I get, he looks out of his depth. But Pedersen and Abbey, a totally brand-new CB pairing expected to get comms 100% right between them etc. Feels harsh.

Abbey fell asleep for the goal but I thought he looked ok otherwise. Not his number one job, but I like Pedersen's keen-ness to move the ball quickly - he seems to take one-touch and pass, as opposed to HD and BC who seem to like 4 or 5 touches and take their time by which point the oppo have re-grouped.


Pedersen is a fine back up [starter even] in my opinion, can't think of anything he did wrong in the game we are where we are with these players at the moment, this is the standard.

Imagine Nelson ,a centre half,seeing a 5-10 waif coming back from half way to get hold of the ball only to pass it back to keeper .
He looks class .
He must have felt mortified at what he saw in his first game

We are not seeing the full picture

Williams is horrific ,as coach,and yeah ,as max says,becoming rather smug

We need him out of the club

I think his smugness is a disguise for his embarrassment both in the team’s performance and his own ability.

He's got time to turn things around, forget saturday it'll come and go, then he's got a fortnight to get things together, then see where we are after the 5 games afterwards, sink or swim time will quickly approach as ww move into Autumn.

He may need a different colour trousers soon though

Agreed about Pedersen seems to a good option on the left of the centrebacks, it was crazy to have two left footed players in the middle at the back against Wycombe, he moved the balls to the left to Abbey quickly, sharply and in front of Abbey who was caught out by the speed of the pass, how our wingers crave for those type of balls one to turn defenders and can be run onto. Liked how he got balls forward to the likes of Ginnelly and Key early doors but didn't see his nightmare against Cardiff last season. but do think he is an old head with experience that the likes of Tymon would benefit by playing alongside him.

Franco, Cooper in the midfield with either Eom or Abdulai as the number 10 the other out wide with Ronald on the left
The fullback Key and Tymon playing as fullbacks getting forward when they can but making sure we are defensively secure, would even play the left footed Pedersen on the left central defence with either Darling or Cabango, Cullen up top.
Time for a change either get Grimes out of the defence or our of the starting line up.He has been coasting make him fight for his place.

I can see Peart - Harris starting as number 10 tomorrow, more physical than Cooper or Eom

He's only just arrived
That would mean Luket hasn't had time to coach him
I'd pick him
Wouldn't surprise me if we play well and get a draw which would make the last game capitulation worse

Cooper has put a bit of weight on to help the physical natue of his game and against PNE he was instrumental in two of the goals getting in the box in support of the wingers from the middle of the park.
At the moment the likes of Fulton aren't getting anywhere near the standard of his midfield play, if Franco doesn't start I would play Allen with Cooper.
How the team is sets up to counter the opposition formation is paramount, it was a cruise through the PNE and the first half of the Cardiff game would we have liked more incisive play yes but the second half of the Cardiff game and the whole Wycombe game we didn't counter or match their formation, how Luke wants the team to play and how he sets up the team to outplay the opposition are two different things.

No complaints about the XI but I'd like to see Cullen on the bench at least. We really need a breakout game from Vip.
