Six biggies coming !
 Swansea City : Decisions to be made this week 15th Oct 2024 14:00Swansea City return to action this Saturday at Blackburn Rovers with a string of fixtures thereafter which will most certainly test Luke Williams ability to coach and manage his squad. Eom is out of these next six fixtures as he starts his rehabilitation after an MCL injury playing for South Korea against Jordan in a World Cup Qualifier last week.  0
 Swansea City are so close to having a successful season 17th Oct 2024 08:00It’s Thursday morning heading into what has to be the most boring night after the international break for club fans. Nearly as bad as Wednesday. On Friday the Championship returns, and on Saturday it begins again in earnest. 0
 Luke Williams on restructure & Cabango 18th Oct 2024 08:00On the eve of the Swans game away at Blackburn Rovers, head coach, Luke Williams doesn’t know if either of his on trial players, Adam Reach and Cyrus Christie will sign for the club. Both are out of contract, but it seems the man in charge at Swansea City and the squad has no idea regards what happens next. 1
 Team News : Blackburn Rovers v Swansea City 19th Oct 2024 12:04Swansea City take on Blackburn Rovers at 3pm (UK time) today in the EFL Championship at Ewood Park. A welcome return for club football fans as the roads and motorways are again full of expectant supporters, literally thousand and thousands of them. 0
 Swans lose away : Not good enough and definitely not reassuring 19th Oct 2024 17:56Swansea City fans were in the near five hundred calculated away support at Ewood Park this afternoon. As an adult paying for a match ticket and coach travel they will be closing in on a hundred pounds before refreshments. And we don’t even include a parent and junior ticket in these calculations. This is the commitment of the Jack Army, but was it matched on the field of play ? 0

Cabango needs ‘assessing’ we are told for Saturday, but not serious. |  |

He took two bad hits last night, but he was magnificent overall. | |

Can the Swans play for 90+ minutes? If they can we will win up at Ewood Park and start to move further up the table | | | |

Any idea if we are staying up for the Sheffield game Keith or are we travelling back in between. | | | |

I disagree, we will struggle, bburn are decent at home this season and we are too up and down atm, I'd snatch your hand off at a draw now. |  | | |

Can't see us getting anything from this game, other than another game highlighting the need to bring in a half tidy striker. |  |

We've shown some positive signs but the deficiencies are glaring too AND we lost Eom.
The prospect of Abdullai starting on the wing makes me laugh, it's ridiculous when we have Bianchini. Has Abdullai even put ONE decent cross over? | | | |

And we are far more harder to beat this season, yes the lack of goals is a worry, but if we can get in front, I think we can beat them.
And they have lost their last 2, so not on top form |  |

My addendum is if Azeem starts in that ridiclious position, we will lose. | |

Played 4 at home won and 4 in the league. Will be dancing with a point because Blackburn are good at home. Just hope we keep our good defence record going and get a few up top. Ref is due to give us a soft penalty. | | | |

Are we assuming that Abdulai is just not capable of playing on the wing or that he is not capable of learning from his mistakes example of which being giving away the penalty or that he cannot be coached to improve.
He young player stepping up in level needs time to develop the skills, which people who watch the youth set up have stated he has. Is he going to get a start at this level in his preferred position or even minutes on the pitch there it, would appear not, at least at this moment in time.
As for his inclusion on the wing we have seen defenders of the likes of Connor Roberts and Bidewell add a defensive strength and while not out and out wingers they were quite capable of making themselves available to help the team progress up the pitch because once we got there we tried to make use of that positional advantage. With the tenancy to waste that positional advantage gained where throw ins and forward play is stifled by safety first coaching it makes our players in forward positions look inept given the scraps they are being given.
Some have said Ronald is now playing poorly and is going backwards, is that down to the style of play we have adopted. Williams has explained that we gave away goals in bad execution of transition from attacking play to defensive play giving the ball away but the same could be said of us having bad transition from defensive play to attacking play because we slow the game down so not using the skills of the players skills we pick in the forward positions which getting back to Abdulai may be where his problem in adjusting to wing play lies. | | | |

Morning Rich
I’m one alone who see Williams as the problem
Most do not but not that that bothers me
His appointment was another mistake
Our players can be far more effective
Pity about Eom,injured playing for country 6000 miles away | |

His stats suggest he's not been as bad as the eyes suggest.
1.08 successful crosses per 90 mins played (74th percentile); 22% cross accuracy (50th percentile); dribble success rate 67% (85th percentile).

I'm not a stats man, does that mean an average of one cross a game and every five games one cross is accurate. If so it's about what I see with my eyes. | | | |
