And thanks to Lowe .... Cabango is now crocked until the start of next season.
We are not ready.I prefer Prem football.
1. Fulham didn't have to grind out results. Neither did Leeds when they were promoted.In a 46 game season, you have to grind out results.
We are more a winning than a losing team. W16 D13 L15. We are right now a mid-table team in transition.We are not a winning team.
We are neither a strong nor a weak team. We have lost 12 points from a winning position, and won 10 points from a losing position.We are a weak team that other clubs think they can put one over on.
Two times this season we have lost a game when we scored first. Preston away (lost 3:1) and Reading at home (lost 3:2).We spring to 4-0, 3-0 leads because we catch the other team in a state of complacency or a state in which they think they are better and therefore don't apply themselves or an exposed state caused by a tactical setup mistake. The moment they wake up and start applying themselves or sort out their tactical oh shit, we capitulate.
Going 3 goals up against Bournemouth IS entertaining and conceding 3 goals IS NOT a capitulation against a team who trashed us in the reverse fixture 4:0. You expect too much from this Swansea team and this Swansea manager.There is nothing entertaining about seeing a commanding lead evaporate from capitulation. There is nothing entertaining about going from 3-0 to 3-3 and the lingering depression from that last gasp of exasperation and relief when the final whistle goes and utter humiliation has been averted ... at home.
Not true. We didn't pissed away superior positions in Barnsley and Middlesbrough games. We were actually behind in both games, and, to quote Rodgers, we showed a great character to fight back and earn a draw.At a time in the season when we needed to bear down we capitulated with a sequence of 4 draws. We pissed away superior positions in games, games we should have won, wins that would today have put us in a challenging position for the play-offs.
It's always entertaining to see our players be 3 goals up and play good football. Conceding 3 goals after being 3 goals up is still entertaining, but also disappointing .There is nothing entertaining about seeing a commanding lead evaporate from capitulation. There is nothing entertaining about going from 3-0 to 3-3 and the lingering depression from that last gasp of exasperation and relief when the final whistle goes and utter humiliation has been averted ... at home.
Agreed.This season will only be one of transition IF we can keep our big-hitters.
