Southampton At Crystal Palace The Verdict
Another improved performance but unfortunately another defeat meaning that an Xmas period that has seen only 1 point from 3 games, means that beating the drop is now an almost impossible task.
The Premier League table this morning does not make good reading, we have now played exactly half of the season and we are 10 points adrift of safety and with very little chance of escaping relegation bar a minor miracle.
There was no room for anything other than a victory in this game, and to be blunt with Palace now 14 points above us, the number of clubs that we can actually catch has narrowed to perhaps 2 and maybe 4, it is not just about how many points that we can get, but how quickly those clubs will put themselves out of reach.
There was a surprise on the team sheet at 1.45pm, as I predicted James Bree came in for Yuri Sugawara to give us strength, but I was shocked to see Big Les Ugochukwu on the bench and replaced by Joe Aribo.
Perhaps on reflection this was a question
What to read next:
A point gained for the Swans : Allen isn’t dead Baggies ! Just over 14,600 attended this game at the Swansea.com. Take away the visitors support and around 13,000 Swans fans were allegedly at this game. Season ticket holders are always included whether there or not and the ground look very bare. If there was eleven thousand home fans at this game I would have been surprised. That’s a good few thousand who have stayed away this afternoon. And well down to what we could have expected on the last Saturday before the majority return to work on Monday.
Swansea City v West Bromwich Albion, plus Villa winger out of reach This morning we focus on a game which has lost itself to what we can call ‘football fatigue’ Especially after some of the extraordinary fall out after Luke Williams press conference yesterday afternoon. Unbelievable nonsense on one of the other websites, faceless, nameless and very obsessive.
Swansea City : The Luke saga drags on and on : What’s next today ? As the many thousands of views dictate on this website we continue to report matters of interest as we did yesterday morning on Luke Williams. A fairly concise and pertinent piece by our site owner. I suppose what every writer relies upon is for the reader to actually understand what is being said.
Swansea City : Does Luke know what he is doing to our club ?There has been much comment and it has to be said bar a few abusive idiots on social media a lot of frustration on those platforms regards Harry Darling and Luke Williams. Much of this brought about by the reluctance of Luke Williams to just clarify his position at Swansea City.
