Is it really just the one pre season friendly we are having? Is it just me or do others think we are going into the new season under prepared. |  | | |  |

I agree. We are very slow off the mark in all areas. |  |

Unless they have arranged some "behind closed doors" games, we seem very under prepared. 4 weeks today for our first league match. | | | |

Leaving money behind both for the club and for people who look to the club for income.
They probably do not make enough money after costs ( stewarding etc) but are still leaving £5000 on the table.
Also it is useful bunce for people with bills to pay. This is community thinking not just the bottom line.

Without enough thought regarding the team being fit and sharp from the first day of the season. I really think Swansea City supporters would prefer us to be 100% ready. | | | |

Used to love pre season going to all the little non league/Welsh grounds. Palamos was also legendary.
They just don’t think of the fans anymore. |  |

I saw one game at Palamos and one fan thought it a good idea to streak. It could be the club does not want a drunken hard core following them around.
Swansea lost 3-1 to Espanyol. Pintado in his second season I think, who I had high hopes for, was one on one and blazed it over. Not quite good enough.
Swansea beat Swindon 3-1 under closed doors. Long lost players like Broome Pedersen and Kukharevych featured with Kuka scoring. Let us hope he has addressed whatever issues he had last year.
It would better if he is a real good player who has grown up a bit rather than a bad player with a good attitude. A apology here and there and a fresh start. (all speculation - was it a Sancho type issue?) | |

"Swansea City started their pre-season programme with victory over Swindon Town in a behind-closed-doors friendly at Fairwood.
Luke Williams’ side led by two goals at the break, with Liam Cullen netting the opener and skipper Matt Grimes extended the advantage from the spot.
Jaxon Brown pulled a goal back for the visitors with a clever improvised finish, but Mykola Kuharevich bundled home a third for the Swans to re-establish the two-goal cushion.
The Swans, with new signing Gonçalo Franco watching on, started brightly with Cullen heading a Grimes cross over the bar following a Josh Tymon flick in the build-up.
Cullen then made no mistake in the 13th minute as he turned in a lovely cross from Ronald, with Joe Allen having sent the Brazilian racing into the box.
A couple of minutes later the Swindon keeper parried away a Ronald effort from an inswinging Grimes delivery, while Allen was also denied when he met a Josh Key cross.
But Swansea did double their lead when Ollie Cooper was tripped as he surged into the box from the right, and Grimes made no mistake from the spot as he fired to the keeper’s right.
The second half started more evenly, although there was little in the way of a threat to the Swansea goal until Brown opportunistically lofted a loose ball over Nathan Broome from distance to trim the home side’s lead.
But the Swans had the final word as Liam Smith cut inside his man in the box and the ball fell for Kuharevich to send a left-footed effort into the net."
Swansea City (first half): Andy Fisher, Josh Key, Ben Cabango, Filip Lissah, Josh Tymon, Matt Grimes, Joe Allen, Ollie Cooper, Ronald, Azeem Abdulai, Liam Cullen.
Swansea City (second half): Nathan Broome, Kyle Naughton, Harry Jones, Kristian Pedersen, Sebastian Dabrowski, Joel Cotterill, Jay Fulton, John Bostock, Liam Smith, Cameron Congreve, Mykola Kuharevich.

Released by Notts County at the end of last season.
32 years of age now, a cheap squad filler? | |

Great to see friendlies being played even if they are not announced beforehand. If it's about saving money playing behind closed doors, why not just stream it free for the supporters. | | | |

I agree the trip was great. I flew to Barcelona and got there under my own steam. I swerved the pub that the fans took over. Too hot though.
So why do they not do it anymore? I have thought about it and given you a possible reason.
What is yours? | |

Well it's certainly not the reason you gave, Austria seems far more popular these days, I notice Cardiff are going there too | |

Don't know how true it is but I have been informed that there might not be Swans TV for matches this coming season.
Anyone heard similar? |  |

It makes sense because Sky are streaming every game you can legally watch outside the Saturday 3pm ko. Is there enough demand on the international market to justify the service for Saturday 3pm only. Are Sky streaming these games internationally? | | | |

Third goal, Congreve plays ball to Kuharevich's feet who plays an around the corner ball into oncoming player(didn't know who it was) who gets into the box, ball runs free as he tried to play it, Kuharevich poaches goal.
OK this wasn't a goal against a tightly packed defence which would be harder to do but it was the type of play we want to see, the ball being played forward quickly to feet getting the ball into the danger area and capitalising on the problems caused, similarly to first goal and the cause of the penalty, getting the ball into the danger area.
Nice to see Cullen getting a goal in a position you would expect a striker to be. Congreve playing a decent ball into feet and Kuharevich playing the type of ball we have seen him do in his limited game time and getting a goal as well, credit to the player's(anybody know who it was) run giving the pass option enabling the play to progress into the box.
Will any of those four players get game time this season presume Cullen will but the others? Will be happy to see these type opening often this season. | | | |

They would be silly not to.
Commercially especially.
If they did it would be a sign that elevating the club in Asian markets especially haven’t been thought through. |  |

Thanks Keith, did originally read the link but then went to highlights to comment on them, need to pay more attention to the written words.
Nice to see the youngsters being used I think we will need them. | | | |
