Are you happy if we stay midtable but play the same football? 17:47 - Mar 30 with 5199 viewsBrad_Bobbly

Or would you rather us play direct, pragmatic football but be in contention for promotion?

Because I see so many swans fans gushing about our football. It will always be like this under Potter, he strikes me as another Rodgers. Which was fine when this football was new and opponents didn’t know how to defend against it. But now every team tries it and 9 times out of 10 it fails.

I want to see direct, attacking football again. I don’t care about possession stats and going backwards.

This post will get downvoted because I’m a realist and not sucking on Potters pen*s. But I’m fed up with the “we won the possession how did we lose?”

We’re not Man City, we don’t have Pep Guardiola and don’t have any money to spend on good players.

He's not going to drop his friend in goal. That sort of goal against Manchester City will be what puts Potter's name in contention for jobs elsewhere. Quite clearly Potter is willing to hinder our ability to deal with any sort of cross / set piece just so we can score a couple of highlight reel goals passing it out from the back which will increase his reputation as a manager.

Quite frankly it's disgusting and why many fans hold him in such high regard bemuses me.

The vast majority of fans on here & social media have praised the way we have tried to play in very trying circumstances all season.

It doesn't always come off, but some of our play has been breathtaking, best I've seen for years.

As someone who will be there whatever our firm, whatever league we are in I'm loving it.

We are not perfect by any stretch, but just a little backing for this gaffer would bring us plenty of success IMO


Yes we don't need to change the style just need to toughen up.

Oh and A decent keeper.

Does anyone think we have the players to play another style? If we go more direct, is the ball going to stick with Oli up top? Is Dyer going to get right into the faces of the opposition if employed a high press? Is Grimes, Byers, Celina going to kick anything that moves in the middle if we go down that route?

These are the only players we have, there are no hatchet men, target men anyone else for that matter in the squad who could change much.

And with the money we receive on incomings Potter McCauley and Birch need to find these types of players.
They are out there and don't need to spend a fortune.

But then we will likely have sold some of our more talented players and we won't have the passing skills or guile to be effective either!

And this is if Potter is allowed to spend anything on these tougher players that are apparently out there.

Like Jasper said yesterday Norwich sold 2 players for a combined 30 million and reinvented themselves on the cheap.

Dan James Ollie and possibly the 2 Ayews would hopefully bring in close on that amount.
Can also see Routledge Fer and Narsingh all going.
Hopefully we can then bring a few in.

Yea well we can only hope he's given some funds to work with.

Norwich despite their high transfer profit did bring in about 9 players, no matter what price I do not see that happening with us. They've also had some amazingly talented youngsters come through so I wouldn't bet on us emulating their successes unfortunately.

I’m not saying we would be, I’m just saying that winning is more important than style of play to me, and in reality most fans would be happy with a successful team however we were playing.


Which style of play do you think would bring us the best results?

Thing is - We were all in agreement we needed a reset

We've done that, and lost a massive amount of talent.

People still think it can all be done in one season?
The reset is a work in progress.

Sings are good on the pitch.....

Why does anyone think it is down to the style of play that we are not pushing for promotion?

We do play attacking football but we are short of a couple of players who can help us get there.

Since Roberto we have played possesion based football, what we lack is "Leon" type who distributed the balll from the centrbacks and always made themselves availble for a return pass.
We lack quick thinking, Grimes is starting to fit into that role,It has always amazed me why the club has never used Leon to "coach " a successor .

I dont think we are equipped to play route one football though I dont think that is waht you are implying either?

Lots of proud Jacks in here too ashamed to admit this.

We’ll be in League One in two seasons. But it’s alright, because we win the possession.

Yes.

If we are lucky Potter and Birch will get 3 years together.

Style of football is good.

Recent results have been erratic and injuries to McB and Fer have not helped.
