Plays well 1 game in 4 was the viewpoint that caught my eye. Pretty much sums him up, very little contribution when he’s not on it. Shame really |

I doubt many would go if they had to pay the higher price. I don’t see a problem with people sharing tickets with friends & family when unable to attend.
Agree the threat of confiscation & bans is over the top. Probably not the best worded warning hopefully it was just intended as a deterrent |

Reply | Luke Williams ?
at 08:16 20 Oct 2024
Some posters said it was ‘laughable’ when I pointed out that we had lost a significant number of goals by losing Paterson, Lowe & Yates and scoring goals would be a problem. So here we are (joint) lowest scorers in the league.
People said we shouldn’t judge the coach until we had played 10 games, so here we are 10 games in, time to get off the fence.
Luke has been let down not just by the quality of the recruits but also by the lack of depth & quantity that the club is willing to spend on. The defence has benefited by fewer injuries and not having to shoehorn poor loan players into the team. That said, he persists in playing players out of position, makes baffling substitution decisions & it seems to be taking forever to get some of the new players up to the demands of Championship football. The general play is too slow & too negative, these are failings of the coach.
I am not in the ‘out’ camp yet but the chairman needs to be thinking about where we go as we could well be in the relegation mix very soon. If we are in the relegation mix come mid December then a decision to stick or twist needs making. Really must do better Luke, the clock is ticking |

I’d hazard a guess that a significant number of our home season ticket holders are concessionary tickets. I’ve seen quite a few discussions going on at our turnstiles over the years about age & eligibility. Not saying what is wrong & what is right but the potential loss of income could well be significant when added up over the course of a season |

at 07:24 18 Oct 2024
I think Ben probably has a good chance to get another contract away from Spurs either at a lower level EPL club or a yo-yo type Championship club. Can’t see our lot going after him even though he would be far better value than we have seen from Joe |

Meanwhile back in the real world you have nothing to say about our prospects of getting things right in the next transfer window ?
You think it’s ok for the club management to let our best players run down their contracts & leave for free ?
Try looking in the mirror … the stupidity of your continued comments about the Trust are beyond a longstanding joke when they have nothing to do with the subject matter.
What value is Mr Gude adding to the club ?

I think 12 points from this batch of games is being over optimistic even if things go well. You are absolutely spot on about player mentality & belief having to be right to kick on. Even if they have that mentality & belief instilled into them it could well not be enough to get that sort of tally of points. We lack quality in some positions & another injury or 2 could be devastating to that belief. |

Venture capitalists, Hedge funds, Investment bankers, statistical processes or just one big pyramid scheme ?
I have no confidence that theJanuary window will be any different to the last few seasons. Some of our best players are running their contracts down. Does anyone at the club know anything about the day-to-day running & management of a football business ?
The club is in dangerous territory with the current ownership who have no real interest in the local area or its people |

7-8 points would be a decent return. Squad is thin, goals a real problem, defence holding pretty solid at the moment. We need reinforcements … and a bit of luck. Crucial time to get some points.Failure to maintain our recent form & things could turn difficult pretty quickly. Our Welsh internationals should return full of confidence & hopefully give us a lift |

I should have thought so, he hasn’t got a club or a contract & he is 2 years older
Last time he was here we didn’t pay his full wages - he either opted to take less money or Fulham paid him what we wouldn’t |

Cyrus did ok for us last time around. He was wanted by the coach of the day but didn’t get a contract offer as he was deemed too old & would cost too much. Yet here we are 2 years later looking at taking him on. Clearly his agent has contacts or LW has good memories of the way he performed for us … |

Should be re-titled ‘a look on the bright side’. I envy Tystan’s optimism but suggest he could well end up more disappointed than his current optimism indicates. This is Swansea City at the end of the day.
Some good points eloquently put forward, but reality has dawned for many of us already. This season could go either way for us based on what we have seen so far. |

at 14:21 7 Oct 2024
Agree with that.
It’s been a strange season so far & we have exceeded expectations in terms of points on the board. We have gained points where we scarcely deserved them & dropped points where we should have won games. I think there could well be tougher times ahead unless the coach sorts out the square pegs in round holes syndrome with his selections & substitutions |

No issues at Westfalenstadion (Borussia Dortmund) or Volksparkstadion (HSV Hamburg) where crowds are generally 50,000+ in the Bundesliga. Much is due to local infrastructure & some down to local club. Infrastructure in this part of the country is poor, can’t see the club spending any money to improve the match day experience with no return. That’s just the way it is in this country |

I am Swansea born and bred. I have lived & worked in several locations all over the country & abroad. I have travelled far and wide with boys from Ammanford, Kidwelly, Carmarthen, Aberdare, the valleys & Bridgend. The passion for all things Swansea City from the boys that I know is in every way equal to the passion of ‘born and bred’ Jacks. That’s not a point of view, that is from my experience |

Maybe, just maybe the owners are holding out for a sale or more external investment so someone else has to fund the cost of running a Championship club. Fingers crossed there’s someone out there … |
