Sky comms saying that Huddersfield still on top despite being down to 10 men. Says it all really. And Cardiff beat Stoke. Keep it up Coops you'll soon have them above us in the table.

Undeserved point , Fulham won 3-0 tonight and they will surely fancy their chances against us.
Hate being negative but this side at the moment don't seem to have anything positive about them .

The passing lately kills me. They give away every aerial ball, lots of over kicked passes. What happened to the Swansea way? The passing and possession?

The only positive this side had tonight is the fight. Of course apart from Celina who showed nothing in the first half. Bidwell was also poor. Desperately lacks pace and footballing skills. Ayew, imho, our best player tonight.

The start of the season was promising, the passing seemed better. Somehow with 620 passes and an 80% accuracy Swansea lost to Millwall. That doesn't make sense. I don't want to be negative either but these games are brutal to watch.

My take on our situation is that the players seem to have lost respect for Cooper as a manager and are as puzzled as we are by many of his decisions. So they are just going through the motions sensing that he is struggling to get to grips with the requirements of his job. That is not to say that they don't like him as a person because he is a very likeable character. But he is not showing assertiveness and leadership or knowledge enough to take this team on and the players sense as much. That's my theory for what it's worth.

Something else is going on. Why woefully struggle at home and yet remain unbeaten away. That makes no sense,
It actually makes sense. Teams park the bus at the Liberty and try to score from a counter-attack or a set-piece. It's difficult to break them down when we have three Snow Whites and Seven Dwarfs in the starting elleven. If the Dwarfs for some reason have a day off, which they often have, then the manager has a couple of Ninja Turtles on the bench. During the last ten to fiftteen minutes of the game the opposition plays with our Ninja Turtles the game called Catch Me If You Can, which our Ninja Turtles normally lose.

Messing around with the Captain band was a mistake. I think the players can do better, many of them are young. But they should be playing better. Too many passing mistakes, need better footwork and stop letting the opposition take the ball away. They show fight at times but need to focus it better. Have to start scoring. Just a plus 5 goal differential. What is Birch going to do in January, what will the owners let him do.

Could it be as simple as:
The receiver wants to move forward onto the ball, the passer aims at where his team mate currently is.
After a couple of times, enduring groans from the crowd, the passer decides to play safe and pass backwards.
I imagine seniors like Routledge and dyer would raise this issue in team meetings. Are they ignored or are we incapable of performing this basic skill?
