Some on Twitter. Jordan was one, I like his posts usually. He's pretty active on there. Probably playing devils advocate tbf. Last season after 39 games were 14th under Potter. But I think with the squad we have now Potter would be much higher. Numbsrs don't tell the whole story. Twitter is garbage though.
If I was Birch or the owners I would get rid of him now and hope a fresh change can motivate them to win out. I don't want to lose Ayew or VdH next season.
Opinion: Prem signings and a false league position have masked the stench of a stale season at Swansea City
The article is spot on.
"No matter Swansea’s league position, many outsiders will look at Cooper’s maiden term in senior management as something of a success. Replacing one of the nation’s best up and coming managers and keeping them in and around the top-six throughout.
But the fact is that Cooper hasn’t made his own imprint on this side – he could leave tomorrow and there’d be nothing to say he was ever there.
Swansea play without an identity. They play without presence and especially so at home. If it wasn’t for individuals picking them up points throughout the season then the true downpour of Cooper’s season would be at the fore. Don’t read into league positions, and divulge in Premier League signings – Swansea are a club heading backwards."
On identity:
1. Are we a top team when it comes to slick passing? No. Last season we were in the top two for both possession and passing accuracy. This season we are not among the top five in the Championship.
2. Are we an attacking team? No. We are 8. for shots per game and 10. for shots on target per game.
3. Are we a high pressing team? No. We press sporadically and we rarelly chase the ball in packs.
4. Are we a nasty team? No. We are 14. for tackles per game and 23. for fouls per game.
5. Are we an adventurous team? No. We are 18. for dribbles per game.
6. Are we a counter-attacking team? No. We are joint 14. for goals scored from counter-attacks. Actually, we are the suckers who have, together with Bristol, conceded most goals from counter-attacks.
7. Are we a team who dominates other teams? No. We are 17. for time spent in the opposition third.
8. Are we good at scoring from set-pieces? No. We are 17. for goals scored from set pieces. As far as I remember we haven't scored a single goal this season from a free-kick.
The only thing we are good at this season is defending set pieces. We are the second best. And that's it.
