Swansea City v Stoke City : Match day thread 21:54 - Oct 2 with 11078 viewsModeratorC

In the blink of an eye Tom brings his cannons to south Wales, the man Leeds are now stating they wanted to sign, like a Michu to West Ham. The Potters are coming and not one of them is called Graham.




Swansea City v Stoke City : Can the Swans make it ten points from fifteen ? 4th Oct 2024 13:49
The Swans take on the Potters tomorrow afternoon (3pm Swansea.Com) with both managers looking to win the game. In Stoke City’s case they come to Swansea off the back of a 6-1 home win against Portsmouth. In the Swans case they have given a lot more hope to their followers with a very decent performance on Tuesday night, despite the 1-0 loss. 0




Swansea City : Two home games over the next forty eight days : Plus Luke Williams 5th Oct 2024 11:38
The Swans are at home before the international break today. They take on Stoke City at the Swansea.Com (3pm) There is the opportunity for pay on the day for Swans fans. The fixtures do present a lot of time off with two international breaks to come, with the Swans playing two home games after today in the next forty eight days. 0

Chance after chance as the Swans draw another blank 6th Oct 2024 08:45
The Swans were not a poor second yesterday at the Swansea.Com. What they were summed up the opening nine games of this league campaign. Frustrating and losing confidence. And all that despite bossing games and looking far better than at this stage last season. 1

Will we see any surprises in Luke's first eleven selection, is he still going to play two "wingers" while having full backs who are more akin to playing as wingbacks.

Are we going to see fullback also pushing into the middle of midfield leaving gaps for opposition wingers to take advantage of, requiring centre halves to either come across to cover their forward run or mark centreforwards, a defensive strategy of shifting across to one side of pitch leaving players time unmarked te for accurate quick play to find unmarked wingers to then attack down the wingers pushing our defenders back into the penalty box.

Key has pace to burn hand the pace of most wingers and Cabango's experience adds strength to the righthand side, Darling is now defending/attacking the aerial ball and big centreforwards a lot better this season but Tymon is struggling in his defensive role against competent wingers, he either needs help on the pitch or coaching to ensure when the opposition decide to target our left hand side he can deal with it much better than he is at the moment, that is not me having a go at him because of the own goal as those things can happen to anyone if they feel under pressure.

I felt against Sheffield that we match them and even our substitutions didn't weaken us as be mention of previous games.
I feel the team need and element of being allowed to do their own thing to get us in the attacking third because it does seem as if we are under orders which is stifling our forward momentum.

Early in the season and a number of positives and what if moments, manager being cautious with team selection but he may need to be a bit bolder to up our threat in the final third and maybe a little more restraint in our need to get players forward instead of initially letting the ball do the work, hence opening areas of the pitch that tend to get bogged down as we try to attack.

Cullen should be back today, I was told he had covid but haven't seen it mentioned anywhere. Whether he will be fit enough to start we will find out later, if he is it will be a massive bonus.

It’s a bit of a sign of where we are in that department that we are placing our hopes in Cullen being fit and in the starting line up! I mean no disrespect to him, he gives everything but he’s not a top half Championship striker, if that’s where our current ambitions lie.

There are only one group of people to blame because we are in this position and it's not the coaching staff.

They did but they coukd have brought in Pep Guardiola and we’d be no better off if they didn’t back him.

I’m not sure LW is a good coach but he’s hamstrung here at the moment given what he has at his disposal.

He plays to a similar formula to Russball with a desire to get more attacking ‘actions’ in the final third with wingers.

Problem is - No natural striker.

I’ve noticed again that the Swans site only lists the monthly pass for purchase and not the one off game of the day. This happened last week and they put it up late. Looks like a clumsy attempt to get people to buy the monthly package at £25 in case the one-off doesn’t come up. Poor really!

Sheffield United midweek - brought Kieffer Moore and Rhian Brewster off the bench. We started with Peart-Harris up front.

That’s a good indication of where our ambitions lie.

Couldn’t agree more but that parachute payment certainly helps.

A recognised striker though would be good!

Swansea City sending out false news today, and haven’t updated their main website with teams. Quite a number in the West Stand not happy at all.

It’s deliberate just like the no pre match interview before Sheff Utd.

I’ve had ten texts to date from Swans fans not on social media who are absolutely peed off with this behaviour.

No way to run the club.

It’s in Phil’s site but don’t know where they got it from.

They have to put the team out 60 mins before ko.

If it’s right, Grimes starts😳😂
