Read the inside track on Viera leaving in The Atheltic today. Roberts ability questioned by the Senior players who didn't take to him.

Educating coaches and actually managing/coaching players is two different things. And that Palace experience now has to be a huge red flag for him.

NFL is back.
at 11:30 12 Sep 2022

If the NFL played without player protection the season would be cancelled within weeks as everyone would be injured. It's not the same as rugby. You don't have to arm tackle. You can blind side hit someone and the regular stops mean the pace of each play is as vicious as the previous one. Many red card offences in rugby would be legal in the NFL.

All cooperball you know nothing.

How many times does this nonsense about Cooper not being backed have to be trotted out?

He was lucky to have Ayew propping up the squad for the 2 years otherwise we would have finished around where we did last season.

Bidwell isn't fit to lace Manning's boots. A much better footballer. Bidwell is extremely limited.

Manning is so good on the ball he will offer something wherever you put him. RM has learnt defensively not dplid enough to play in a back 3 but he can offer us a lot as full back or a winger on occasions.

Prefer proper pace in those wide areas but he's played really well last 2 games.

Ntcham is exactly as he was at Celtic. He will turn up when he decides he wants to. He's not going to change now. It's not on RM. Another Mark Allen mistake.

NL’s Rotherham United v Swansea City : Matchday Thread 22;23
at 08:29 31 Jul 2022

Grimes had a good game yesterday while Fulton served up his usual nothing performance outside of almost gifting them a goal with a lazy touch.

Fulton one of the most over rated players we've got.

Do people really think the Americans signed off on a 27k a week contract last summer? That's simply not believable.

Those sites are nonsense guess work.

Right then all, team against Rotherham
at 10:09 24 Jul 2022

I can't see why we need to start Cabango after 60 mins of pre season football when Wood has done well in pre season.

I can't see Joe being risked from the off either as much I'd like him in the team ahead of Fulton who restricts our style of play.

I'd start Grimes as the deepest CM and Ntcham next to him but that clearly isn't going to happen.

Sarinola and Manning as wing backs is the only option for me. Lati can't and should not play there. Absolutely kills us.

Think we are allowed 9 subs this year with 5 able to come on?

The Southampton sub appearance had to be seen to be believed. Like he had never played a game of football before.

Expectations on Russell Martin this season
at 18:08 18 Jul 2022

The Naughton/Keeper thing isn't going anywhere. He explained it in the forum. Basic concept to create a spare man as they will send one to press who can be taken out of the game straight away. In theory you can then work it to have a spare man through the entire move. It will be Darling this season rather than Naughts. Ball speed was the biggest issue with this but we had some games later on where we seemed to nail it....Milwall away was really good. But Martin will live or die on this hill.

It could easily be a cultural thing as in he is seen as someone who might disrupt the morale. I don't Fulton is a good comparison, we'd like to move him on but he will be useful as cover if he isn't. Bennett had clearly been done for some time.

We can't risk Bennnett training and picking up an injury which would end any chance of a transfer saving.

How can Reading even contemplate signing Jay Fulton ?
at 22:32 11 Jul 2022

Decent player but hugely over rated for me the way some people go on about him. Just a tidy work man like CM who's skill set is lost in our possesion style. Martin knew this and went and got Downes straight away. Cooper valued him more as he played a more cautious, less possession based style where Fulton can be more affected.

If we played scrappy defensive football he'd be more useful but we don't.

I think it says it all we seem to be having a bit of trouble shifting him. Reading sounds like his right level to me.

RM gave an insight in the fans forum. They get every Thursday off and the days after games are lighter sessions.

The account on Twitter that posted this is a clear fake.

Obviously we are interested from previous stories but there's nothing reliable on Harness in weeks.

Quite simply should the swans sign Joe Allen ?
at 23:16 7 Jul 2022

Russ said in the fans forum he will play with 'high wide players' whatever the system.

Right now, we have minimal options to fill these roles.

Based off what RM said at the forum that won't happen. He was clear whether he plays a 3 or 4 at the back there will always be 'high attacking wide players' ahead of them.
