Reply		Swansea City v Bristol City : Match day thread : SUNDAY !

Have to say I agree about LW and there is no sign of improvement. Moving forward Swansea remain poor. Ronald and Eom need to get ball in the middle not 2" from either touchline. Not sure I saw a single pass forward into the centre today. LW seems to prefer ineffective piddling about on the wings, rarely resulting in any danger to the opposing team. Feed balls into the middle while breaking forward at pace and put Eom and Ronald in there to finish them off.

They say the sign of a good team is that they get points when playing poorly. We must be outstanding.

Little value in looking up when there is no movement from your teammates. There is no fluidity in the team. All very rigid and stiff. Not a team that a skillful player such as Ronald would excel in. Eom is struggling for the same reason. It is also why Patino was not at his best last season despite clearly being an exceptionally talented player. However LW seems to think he is doing a good job after his peacocking on the pitch at the end of the Norwich game.

Might just be me, but I would need the assistance of the Bletchley Park codebreakers to work out what LWs tactics are when moving forward from defence.

LW looks like a competitor in one man and his dog spending the whole match running around his technical area shouting instructions. Surely this should all be sorted at the training ground.

Have to disagree.

A good defender, very rarely beaten for pace.

Had the ability to move forward at pace and potential to make or score goals.

This did not fit in with the plodding, slow forward movement from the back advocated by Williams.

Quality players are stifled by this manager.

I genuinely believe, and did so prior to the end of last season that Duff was a better manager than Williams.
Under Duff Swansea would still score goals on a break after dispossessing the opposition (e.g Patino goal against Sheffield Wednesday).
There is no sign of this now. If possession is gained, it usually ends with a back pass to defense and then the keeper.

The only organised attack today was carried out by the Jacks in the lower tiers following the Cardiff equaliser.

Just put Wood or Cabango in goal. Will halve the amount of back passes.

In training sideways and back passes should be banned. Surely would result in a much better team. Swansea also lack movement when midfielders are looking for forward passing opportunities. I believe tactics and coaching are more important than the transfer market right now.

What will work for the Swans next season?

1970s Liverpool pass and move.

1980s Wimbledon Crazy Gang long ball to Fash the Bash equivalent.

Many times last season I think the latter would have been more effective.

Humphreys similar potential to Dixon. Good defensively and ability to break forward at pace

I always thought Humpreys was a great looking player and could never understand why his appearances started to dwindle. I have never seen him beaten for pace when defending and he also showed great attacking potential. Another talent lost to stodgy coaching in my opinion.

Rushworth will be relieved to escape from the constant barrage of back passes from Wood and Cabango.

If Swansea have intentions of trying to keep Lowe, a good move would be to put him in the starting line up, which they failed to do at Norwich. Surprising as he was the catalyst for the win at Huddersfield. In my opinion, not once has Williams started with the best available players.
