Reply		Bashir Humphreys loan to Burnley

Have to disagree.

A good defender, very rarely beaten for pace.

Had the ability to move forward at pace and potential to make or score goals.

This did not fit in with the plodding, slow forward movement from the back advocated by Williams.

Quality players are stifled by this manager.

I genuinely believe, and did so prior to the end of last season that Duff was a better manager than Williams.
Under Duff Swansea would still score goals on a break after dispossessing the opposition (e.g Patino goal against Sheffield Wednesday).
There is no sign of this now. If possession is gained, it usually ends with a back pass to defense and then the keeper.

The only organised attack today was carried out by the Jacks in the lower tiers following the Cardiff equaliser.

Just put Wood or Cabango in goal. Will halve the amount of back passes.

In training sideways and back passes should be banned. Surely would result in a much better team. Swansea also lack movement when midfielders are looking for forward passing opportunities. I believe tactics and coaching are more important than the transfer market right now.

What will work for the Swans next season?

1970s Liverpool pass and move.

1980s Wimbledon Crazy Gang long ball to Fash the Bash equivalent.

Many times last season I think the latter would have been more effective.

Humphreys similar potential to Dixon. Good defensively and ability to break forward at pace

Reasonable players but not exactly Dixon, Bould, Winterburn,Adams.

I always thought Humpreys was a great looking player and could never understand why his appearances started to dwindle. I have never seen him beaten for pace when defending and he also showed great attacking potential. Another talent lost to stodgy coaching in my opinion.

Once again I could not detect an attacking strategy. Nothing to do with individual players performance.

Rushworth will be relieved to escape from the constant barrage of back passes from Wood and Cabango.

If Swansea have intentions of trying to keep Lowe, a good move would be to put him in the starting line up, which they failed to do at Norwich. Surprising as he was the catalyst for the win at Huddersfield. In my opinion, not once has Williams started with the best available players.

Absolutely agree about the defence. I think that lack of working as a unit contributes to the excessive amount of back passes to Rushworth.

Rather than a major rebuild, maybe Williams needs to have a re-think about strategy and coaching.

The last 20 mins against Huddersfield were fantastic. It was as though the players were freed of the shackles of a forced coaching strategy and instead played freely and reacted to the opportunities in front of them.

Yes, I was there. Duff not playing Patino regularly at that point probably helped in his demise.

Yep. Had another look. Goalkeeper was on his line when the ball was struck. Not the usual scenario for a chip. The second he hit the ball he knew it was in. Brilliant work between Patterson and Patino.
