I didn't say that though did I?

It'll be touch and go, but I personally think we'll stay up.

If we don't we don't - it'll be gutting but the sun will still come up.

We have lots of games left and we are not in the bottom 3.

If you can't deal with it then you can't have been watching us for very long.


I'm not a super fan like you I only started in 1998.sorry .

Yeah, I didnt say that either.

It is possible to be very disappointed in the way the season has gone and be concerned with some of the decisions that have been made and still think we were absolutely robbed tonight.

From where I was sitting, the back four and Fab always seem to be an accident waiting to happen. Nervy under pressure and poor decision making.

Conditions didn't help but how many times do we have to play ourselves into a hole before understanding that Row Z is often the best option?

Less said about the officials the better but we really don't help ourselves.

Will be watching Watford from behind the sofa.


I wish Fabianski would clear the ball first time instead of playing a one-two with defenders and then clearing, an accident is waiting to happen. When confidence is low the last thing you need is goalkeeping error.

Even when you know, you never know?

We where totally robbed tonight but that's what happens when the chips are down. If we go down at the end of the season it don't be just because of tonight.

No, of course it won't be only because of tonight. But we didn't play badly tonight at all, we suffered three horrendous decisions, one of which was instrumental in changing the game.

The overreaction "we're going down" "that's it, we're gone" etc is just ridiculous. If the season ended today we stay up. Let's hope it's the same in May.

Just watched MOTD and using their technology to get a better look at the offside calls only the first goal was iffy, the penalty was clearly not a pen and the sending off clearly a yellow at worst.
Defoe's second and third looking at them were almost perfectly timed and even in slow motion are probably just on or in line, in real time very hard for linesman to call so it looks like he gave the striker the benefit, you have to play the whistle. It was the red card that changed the game as the pen and Sunderland first goal kind of ruled each other out.

Red card changed it, but we may consider putting out four dustbins in our back line versus Watford, as they would have more awareness and movement, and a wheelie bin in goals(albeit a large one, with a good spring on the lid to hurl balls to our players and not the opposing team)

Fair assessment there.

Fabianski just stopped for Defoe's second goal... Every kid who has ever played the game is told to 'play the whistle' let alone a Polish international goalkeeper who has already dropped a major bolluck in the game FFS.

I know it's their officially approved away strip, and this seems like clutching at straws, but rather like the infamous Man Utd 'grey' kit that was unceremoniously dumped half way through the season ... actually how visible is a team in greeny-yellow under lights against a bright green background? Could this be a possible reason for the Fab error? A heat of the moment mistake not picking up a player, or at least not being able to judge his actual position? Just a thought.

We've done that for years. Take a short goal kick, end up being pressurised by the opposition and end up lobbing it long anyway.

Pointless.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

I can't disagree with that. The withdrawal of Leon was strange, more formulaic than logical.

Are the players 'programmed' to do this in training?

Are they allowed to take responsibility for their own actions and do the 'right thing' when it is so obvious to everyone else in the stadium,or is it contrary to the 'Swansea way' to play everything out from the back?

When we're pressed high, we just don't seem to have an 'out'ball from the back like we used to or a Plan B to be more direct.

I fear our current style of football might just not be suited for this relegation scrap

There was some encouragement about the way we played going forward even with 10 men. Whether we can do that for 16 games remains to be seen but teams cant prepare for that kind of play. It was the compete opposite of the tippy tappy.It was breathless and exciting. We could do it because we had a bit of pace(Mo) and alot of motivation. The more trouble we get in , the greater the motivation. We are going to need 4 goals a game with that defence though. Could be a compelling few months.

The Swans' malaise started at Watford & Southampton away I believe.
The team at Watford were not the same human beings that had beaten Man Utd.
Something had changed.

Monk lost the dressing room, rifts within the squad, special players playing up, fights in training, other rumours of background unrest in the club?

I've been a fan for 40 years, I've been worried about lack of striking power amongst other things since the Autumn.

So, I do believe this team will be relegated UNLESS :

New striker. YES YES INVEST

Team spirit. CUT OUT BAD APPLES. Club seems to be cashing in, but more importantly getting rid of bad influences on team spirit. Bye to JJS. I'll open the door to Gomis.

Players. I believe we actually have good enough players except +1 striker & midfielder to stay up if properly managed.

Manager. I'm still not sure about Curtis but I'd rather be 70% sure that he can manage the players into an effective team than have HJ make change for change sake, and bring in any old muppet

Fans. Back the team as we usually do!

But it is not a mark of disloyalty/plasticity to have fans saying at this point in the season that the status quo is not enough for survival.

HJ, let Curt bring in a couple of players & offload any deadwood.

Curt. With a couple of new players you can manage a team good enough to stay up.

Players. Put the effort in for the team as most are already doing.

Fans. Keep supporting the club, HJ & Curt are on our side.

I'm saying it, we make changes or we go down in my opinion & that doesn't make me a bad fan.
I'd rather close the stable door before the horse has bolted.
