Swansea City v Stoke City : Matchday Thread 22/23 11:23 - Feb 19 with 20099 views | NotLoyal | Two managers desperate for something, desperate for wins to ensure they keep their teams in a safer place other than an unsafe place. It could be a better place but probably not because an ‘unbetter’ place isn’t a word. Actually it is. Swansea City and the tale of mid table woe 20th Feb 2023 11:19Swansea City go in to tomorrow nights game against Stoke City with a gap to fill and that’s the ever increasing one between them and the Championship play offs. The responses from Russell Martin after yet another last gasp defeat at Blackburn Rovers on Saturday are beginning to annoy some of the most ardent of Swansea fans, and it’s all wearing a bit thin. 0 Cooper must start and Whittaker is in the frame for Swansea City 21st Feb 2023 11:16Swansea City will be going all out for two wins over the next two home fixtures, and head coach Russell Martin knows only too well his team need to show the intensity he often talks about this evening against Stoke City ( Kick off 7.45pm ) Stoke are scrapping to keep away from the bottom three in a fixture that has always been a huge test for the Swans. 0 Where does Russell Martin go now ? Another night of the same old ! 21st Feb 2023 21:59Another tale of complete woe for the magnificent turn out yet again at the Swansea.Com stadium tonight. Russell Martin brought in the desired changes but nine seemed to impact the game in the Wayne wanted, and the game was lost and to be honest it wasn’t even close. 0 Swansea City: Andy Fisher; Nathan Wood, Ben Cabango, Harry Darling; Matty Sorinola, Joe Allen, Matt Grimes (captain), Ryan Manning; Ollie Cooper, Morgan Whittaker; Joel Piroe. Substitutes: Andreas Søndergaard, Olivier Ntcham, Liam Cullen, Joel Latibeaudiere, Kyle Naughton, Liam Walsh, Cameron Congreve.

3 wins in the last 15 or so games, Sunderland vs 10 and Blackpool vs 10. We've only beaten Watford with 11 men since the start of December. He shouldn't have any lives left. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Well I suppose you could say they are to blame because they didn’t sack him after the game at Blackburn on Saturday. And they’ll be to blame if we lose to Rotherham if Martin is still here. And he will be. | ![](/images/avatars/8799.gif) |

we looked like 11 players thrown onto the pitch having never trained or played together before what happens in training? this man cannot coach his starting line up all wrong and his "tactical " changes in the game baffled me How anyone can still support and have belief in him after tonight I cannot understand | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

But in fairness Martin has been backed, his loans have been a disaster, I wouldn't now trust him with a penny. We are no further on than we were from the Blackburn game at the beginning of last season, still making the same mistakes. I'm baffled he was an international defender, because he certainly cant organise a defence | ![](/images/avatars/8653.gif) |

Fisher cost 400k and Darling 1,5 mill I thought, if they have given that money to me it would have been better spent. | ![](/images/avatars/9760.gif) |

That the owners who have given more than any other owners in our history haven’t put enough money in? In what sense is that valid? That’s like calling Usain Bolt slow. [Post edited 21 Feb 2023 22:40]
