Reply | Swansea City v Sheffield Utd: Match day thread
at 13:08 20 Jan 2025
Iām looking forward to the game tomorrow. Our home form of late has been decent. Iām hoping that we can compete with them and to get forward and in numbers when we get the chance. We are 7 points off the play offs and 8 away from relegation places. With four winnable home games to complete our season I still see is finishing around 13-16th which will be reasonable. I donāt want to see pride and passion and commitment from all of our players. We started quite well at Cardiff for 30 minutes or so. After that it wasnāt good enough was it. A few of our lads owe us a performance. |

But there have been lots of encouraging displays. Training wasnāt boring that week was it? As recently as 3/4 weeks ago v QPR for example. Against A QPR team that no one else could beat over 12/13 games.
Training can be boring. Many pros donāt enjoy it. Luke alone doesnāt take training sessions. Thereās a coaching team there.
Players need to behave like the highly paid professional footballers that they are. They need to regroup and get their act together. They have a responsibility too. This is not a one way street to apportion all blame on one person. Of course he didnāt handle the WBA rumour well but thatās gone now. Itās quite trivial really in the world of football. Rumours? Good lord what next? |

Reply | Luke Williams - Legal action?
at 07:23 19 Jan 2025
Legal action due to a downturn in results ?
Absolutely not. Itās not even a consideration. Iād like to be speaking to our players about their attitude.
Managers and coaches are constantly being linked with other jobs. Itās the norm. Luke of course showed his inexperience and handled the WBA link ( if there was one ) badly on his own admission. I agree that the QPR showing was excellent. And since the Luton game we have been very poor. In three games we have been terrible as we all know.
But IMO itās best that heās given the chance to rectify things. We were doing quite nicely up to Christmas and there were encouraging signs. |

It simply is not opening a can anything let alone worms
If itās agreed and passed all legal angles and loopholes will be checked, double checked and ratified to ensure that this has no adverse effect in the future. The same applies to Cardiff Newport and Wrexham. Do you think that they would risk anything? All bases will be covered.
Tin pot cup? I think not. Itās our National cup. With huge benefits that go with winning it. |

Quite possibly the most inconsistent and definitely overrated ( by many ) in the history of Swansea City. In 78 games at his prime for us he managed one goal, yes one goal. Mostly flattered to deceive and yet is strangely lauded for having a good game against yet another vastly over rated player, Chambers of Arsenal. With the heart of a dandelion and fight of a garden worm you would not be too enthralled if you glanced across and he was next to you in the trenches. I sense heād be superb at beach football. |

There is reluctance to accept change. In reality we are just going back to the scenario from around 30 years ago when we played in the Welsh Cup. Itās good to see that common sense has prevailed and with cooperation, agreement and the backing from EUFA and the EFL itās allowed us to compete in the Welsh Cup once again. Itās good to see and gives us the added bonus of having a reasonably good chance to play in Europe which has huge potential for the club. West Ham fans will tell you what a huge boost it was for their club recently. Newport still fondly recall their adventure into the 1/4 finals of the Cup Winners Cup 30/40 years ago. Cardiff too with their win against Real Madrid. Our win in Valencia. Itās all positive vibes.
We are at the moment better equipped to deal with it too in terms of our standing as a Championship club. |

There are no guarantees and that makes Cup football exciting. So be it if we go out early.
It depends on how seriously we take it. Iād like to think that we will prioritise it over the Carabao Cup certainly. |

Yes I recall the Merthyr games. I was at the Vetch on the night when Dai Webley made a fool of our centre backs. Mind you they were a good side then. Iād like see Merthyr play in this new Welsh Cup but it doesnāt look likely.
Thereās nothing guaranteed but these days Swansea are Wales number one club and playing in the Championship. Back in the late 1980s and 1990s we were a Dividion 3/4 club. With crowds of around 5000/6000.
Wrexham are far more powerful these days too. Newport as well arenāt bad and TNS look ok. |

Yes I will. I always used to enjoy the Welsh cup games. Itās a different competition with the carrot dangled of European football which adds another dimension. Iām sure our fans who were at Valencia for example regard it as one of the best days in the history of our club. It might be seeded in which case it wonāt capture full interest until the last four stage. |

Great news all round. Some welsh cup derbies, possibly European football to look forward to and itās good for Welsh football. Very pleased with this. A Swansea v Cardiff final with Europe at stake would be a big event. A chance for some of our under 21s and fringe players to show what they can do in a first team environment as well. šš» |

It was never previously a problem or an issue. Playing in our Welsh Cup and in Europe. Believe what you want to but it would be good for our club and for welsh football to have good representation in Europe. My one experience of it ( Malmo ) was amazing. Not the gsme but the whole trip and memory.
Thereās no guarantee we would qualify of course. Wrexham and to a lesser extent Newport and Cardiff might have something to say too. |

Of course you can
46 league
Usually 3/4/5 league/fa cup games
4 games to win welsh cup
55 games in 10 months. No problem.
And we could utilise our fringe players to get through the first game or two

100% yes.
It must be on the strict understanding that it doesnāt affect our EFL status. Now or in the future.
But of course we should be in our own domestic cup especially with European qualification a good possibility |

Iād like to see Luke stay. Weāve had a decent season all things considered and only 2/3 weeks ago we played some lovely football against an in form QPR. Thatās our way of playing. Possession with purpose.
Two of the recent performances havenāt been acceptable. Portsmouth was awful and so was Southampton although that game illustrated how stretched our first team squad is. Iām not looking to blame the manager for that. The problems run far deeper.
Review things at the end of the season as it looks as though we have enough in the tank to stay clear of the relegation scrap. |

Some laughable suggestions here fair play.
Tony Mowbray, Ian Holloway, Craig Bellamy etc. Ignorance is bliss as they say. 
Not as good as the Anthony Wright suggestion though. |

A disappointing, poor showing from us today which underlined how weak our squad is. And the gulf in class between a ( poor ) Premier league team a mid table championship outfit.
Naughton and Christie have been excellent pros but look finished at this level. Naughton could and should have done better for their 2nd and 3rd goals. Our keeper has also enjoyed a good career but he looked so short of match sharpness and wasnāt good enough today although redeemed himself late on. Defensively we werenāt up to it without Cabango and Darling and it could have been a lot worse.
Luckily we only have Cardiff to play next š |
