Lads in Williams we trust
The first Swans manger since cooper to tweak how we play at half time.
Bloody hell we were the better team in the 2nd half. |  |

Possibly.
He’s well past anything like his best but he’s physical and has power.
Biggest issue is Jerry
We paid Soton too much respect | |

We can trust Williams all we want but it's what the owners do that will decide where we end up. | | | |

In that case ,he can FO as he can’t justify them.
We would be doing him a favour | |

Bolasie was OK when he came on but in reality he is blocking a place of one of the youngsters. I wouldn't waste anymore money on him. | | | |

After the first five minutes he should have changed formation, we were lucky to be only 3-1 down at half time. Leaving a centre half exposed to a very competent quick winger was beyond belief. | | | |

It was what used to happen under Martin, Cabango was used on the left of the back 3 and struggled badly against quick wingers.
He should have gone back 4 sooner. | | | |

I agree. I reckon next season will be top 6 if he can keep us up.
Tough fixtures coming right up. [Post edited 20 Jan 20:57]

The positive was, he did change formation.
Martin football, played a bit further up the pitch, with the humility to admit when we’re getting battered and change things up, could be a good thing. | | | |

He never changed anything until he made more attacking subs,couldn't believe he had darling right back getting exposed all the time and Ashby as a right midfield,square pegs round holes,we goy better when patino and bolasie came on..and fulton went off and Allen came on.. | | | |

So he never changed things until he brought Bolasie on for Ashby and changed things?
We looked a lot better after that too. | | | |

He should have changed it after 10 minutes we were getting murdered down the right ,played wrong players out position,we were lucky to be still onlyb2 down..another day would have been 6 at that stage,he left it late to change it ,when he had nothing to lose.. | | | |

That’s fair. You never see changes after 10 minutes but I get your point. I expected to see subs at half time, even if it was just Allen for Fulton.
We’d have just made like for like changes last season. He changed it up for the last half hour and although it wouldn’t have been deserved, one of those goes in instead of hitting the post and we could well have sneaked a draw. | | | |

No manager will change things after 10 mins unless there's an injury or red card. Well, maybe Clough would have but he was a maverick and you dont get managers like him these days.
He should have done something sooner but at least when he did it wasn't just like for like and it did make a differnce which is a positive. We lloked better and despite not desrving it we could have sneaked a point, on another day we would have so lets not write Williams off so soon. A lot of people gave Martin a lot more time but it seems more people have become too short termist.
Williams needs at least 10 games to get his changes over properly and we can only hoe the owners get him some reinforcements. Then we can judge him. Until such a time he is grappling with what Duff left behind and he deserves a chance to prove himself before we start flinging the toys out, doesn't he? | | | |

He’s in quite a good position. There are no expectations of playoffs and only the ultra negative really think we’re relegation candidates.
He just needs to pick up a couple of wins to make absolutely sure and then he’s got a free hit to mould his squad for the rest of the season.
Priority should be working out who we are keeping, getting them under contract and sourcing replacements for those that will leave. | | | |

Don’t we say this all the time? We have a great half of football every other week and people think we’re turning a corner. | |

If you are going to give credit to Williams for the second half then you must see that he was somewhat responsible for the shambolic first half. He set the team formation up and the tactics from the start.
A bit early for anyone be in the “in Williams we trust” frame of mind in my opinion, exactly what he has done to gain anyone’s trust ? Two weeks running we have started off second best, Birmingham could have been out of sight by half time last week too. |  | | |

He went back 4 after 6 minutes. He couldn’t have done much earlier unless starting that way 🤷♂️ |  |

We could have been 5 down if it wasn’t for Rushworth in the first half. Our right side was taking an absolute beating, Darling was being run ragged. I suspect Martin targeted that side intentionally. | | | |

Yes, he should have started with a back 4. We have never doe well with wing backs and 3 CB's. Martin stuck with it and all our best performances came when we went back 4, as soon as we reverted we went rubbish again. We don't have any decent wing backs and we don't have 3 CB's who can play that way.
Any decent coach uses his resources to their best, square pegs in round holes was what cost us the last 2 seasons, time to pick a formation and play a strategy that best suits our players.
The problem now is we have a weaker squad than last season. It's down to the owners what happens next. | | | |

Yes should started back four,but when he did change it,no way should darling done to right back and Ashby right midfield,darling should dropped back centre half pulled wood or humphreys off and dropped Ashby back in and put bit pace on the right of midfield,ti make Fraser and manning think a bit more.. | | | |
