The Swans v The Riversiders

[The Blobster]

Ntcham ain't doing anything either , expect Paterson to replace him sooner rather than later .

 

[CroJack]

Naughton out.
Cabango in.
Fulton out.
Ntcham to the defensive midfield.
Paterson in.
Lati and Obi out. Congreve and Cullen in.

 

[The Blobster]

No changes , Martin happy with his starting 11 then , he must be the only one at the Liberty who is !

 

[The Blobster]

Paterson coming on for Fulton .

 

[The Blobster]

Quicker and better already

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Obafemi could miss if the ball is on the goal line

 

[Yankee_Jack]

We’ve pushed Piroe forward. Pato wide left, ntcham to the right

 

[The Blobster]

0-2 our day is fucked again , 1 ball beating all the defence again

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Forwards goal. Isolates Lati, beats him for strength and speed, finishes

 

[CroJack]

Forwards goal. Isolates Lati, beats him for strength and speed, finishes

It was Wood, not Lati.

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Let’s have Cullen for obafemi

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Sorinola is coming on …. Why

 

[The Blobster]

Sorinola is coming on …. Why

Coz Martin hasn't got a clue !

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Pato replace Manning out wide and dropped Manning deeper. Removed our most threatening player from the front line

 

[The Blobster]

Congreve gets his chance and replaces Ntcham

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Congreve on for oli

We are allowed subs but in 3 substitutions. We can’t even manage this process properly

 

[CroJack]

0:3

It's embarassing now.

 

[The Blobster]

0-3 total humiliation, what a pile of crap , no pace , no movement , no subtlety , NO MARTIN would be my preference .

 

[CroJack]

The fans are masively leaving the Liberty.

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Winning our home games is to be a massive challenge. Well coached teams with no requirement to entertain away from home are going to park the bus, play rope-a-dope football knowing that we don’t cross for fear of losing possession, and look to hit us on the break. Since we cross and therefore threaten minimally our bark is much worse than our bite.

The carryover question from last season is can Martin coach more than passing. Is he tactically savvy enough and his players sufficiently schooled problem solvers to deal with these situations.

called it. Deja vu all over again.

every other manager now has a blueprint. If I can figure it out then so can anybody … but one apparently.

Rope-a-dope football
