Too many players spectating and fisher is just pathetic on a side foot into the goal. Reminds me of the quote about offside and interfering with play. We have too many players, too often, not interfering with play

KOL was a lower league player, and clearly still learning as a coach, but he sees it and berates it as not acceptable.

and now McB to add insult to injury

Video feed dropped before the end, a small mercy.

McB looked like he would have bagged a couple if we had played any longer.

way too many players, non-swans players, in our team and on the field. Not giving a shit, is not acceptable. Fulton was on the bench, should have been on the field.

Just finished watching Spurs beat City …. What a game. Two take aways: those players cross and cross and cross and cross; and, Ben Davies is clearly the best Welsh defender in the game.

lt’s a shame that Dier is starting ahead of Rodon at CB

LadyGG had a frozen shoulder so couldn't cook but we ordered in a huge Chinese meal much of which we didn't touch and I brought home with me to eat tomorrow. 🥡😋

I suppose I have to talk about the game. Not much to say really other than it was the worst display I have seen for some time from ANY team. Our passing was a disgrace: our movement almost non-existent: our game plan one of life's mysterys: our work ethic nowhere to be seen: our pride didn't exist: our overall performance lower level National League at best.

Under Martin's tutelage we've gone backwards at a rate of knots but the very worrying thing is that Martin doesn't even realise it. He still thinks we are learning and making progress!! o_Oo_O My God, what planet is this man on????????

As has been said, enough is enough. It's time Russell Martin went back to coaching school to finish his course. And time for some of our players to do their equivalent.

I watched both Liverpool v. Norwich and Man City v. Spurs. Liverpool were better at creating big chances than Manchester City, and that's probably why they won and Man City lost. But have a look at the number of crosses! It's either one shot or cross per minute of the effective game time, which is nothing but a carpet bombing of the opposition goal area. Imagine how stressful it might be playing against Liverpool and Man City?

Liverpool had 70% possession, 90% pass accuracy, 29 shots (8 on target), and 38 crosses!!! They created 6 big chances, and missed 3 of them. Norwich created 1 big chance, and missed it.

Manchester City had 71% possession, 91% pass accuracy, 21 shots (4 on target), and 40 crosses!!! Spurs, on the other hand, had 5 shots on target out of 6 shots in total, and 4 big chances to Man City's 2. They also had 3 accurate crosses out of 4 in total.

-----------------------------------------------------

Swansea stats against Sheffield United:

- 6 crosses, all inaccurate.
- 6 shots, 2 on target, all shots out of box. The two shots on target were so weak that I would save them easily.
- 0 big chances

Can’t be bothered with the low-lights. Wasted 90 minutes of my life watching the game. It’s becoming tedious to watch the same fair weather players mail it in on opposition turf. Martin has to realize that he’s trying to polish a turd and would get far more joy from getting this lot to be more conventional in shape and aligned in their roles with the natural abilities. We’ve let players leave Liberty that are as good as those on the field and who almost always gave of their best.

having players like Manning roam around the field under the delusion that they’re all that and then some is counter productive. Especially when we concede goals as a result of weakness on their side of the field. Fisher is weaker than Hamer …. Is that even possible.
