For whatever reason it appears we have become a soft touch in defence as the clock winds down to the end of the first half and full time. Where has our discipline gone, our hard nosed defenders, our professionalism in setting up to defend set pieces. Could Larry have come off his line to punch...

The worrying aspect for me is how referees and officials in general are being promoted to the top tier, fast tracked far too early in their refereeing career. Our opening fixture at Boro was refereed by Fari Hallam who had officiated in a handful of game in the Championship the previous season...

there is also an interpretation problem within VAR especially over handball that is nowhere near being settled.

It suits some followers to exaggerate anything let alone pull rumours off dodgy sources, this is the world we are living in unfortunately. Scroll pass is my advice.

With the amount of cash floating around the Championship VAR has to come, like it or lump it. Its not perfect but 99% of the decisions like the disallowed goal at Brum should be sorted.

A remarkable turnround should Hodge return but the one thing is for sure is that in the last couple of seasons Hull have never shirked from spending cash and been able to attract experienced professionals and no doubt Swans would have to match that ambition.

I noticed Santos played 45 minutes on Saturday v Bristol City so where does he fit in. Just a squad player or is Sheehan going to put out a back three of Cabango, Santos and Burgess.

Looking back to the game we were desperate in the last 20 minutes for somebody in midfield to hold onto the ball, but when a referee fails in letting the game flow the result was the percentage possession gradually tilted to the home team. Looking back to the damage Patrick Roberts made in the...

Decision making in football can be extremely marginal especially in player recruitment and when one looks at strikers like Kone and McBurnie who are both finding the net regularly at QPR and Hull one wonders what we will get from Idah as at the moment he has done very little on the ball let...

Potter inherited a squad of players that needed to be taken off the club's wage bill when he arrived and one by one they left. For every one you say bored the life out of them there were far more who appreciated his style of play. Chelsea was a poor decision by him to take a job at a club that...

Its not defeatist its a more realistic attitude of how good we actually are in comparison to so many clubs in the Ch'ship who are prepared to throw millions at getting into the PL. As for naming Forest, just look back at the millions they spent in bulking up their squad for promotion under...

What are posters aspirations this season - for me I would prefer to cement ourselves in a top ten place, work to continue with our excellent summer recruitment programme and move on from there. Having said that, should we find ourselves challenging for a P/Off place come next season, go for it.

Swans were the only team who played football in first half, a clear goal ruled offside, but once the momentum of the game changed to a stop, start, stop start affair it suited the home team. Possibly, the subs could have been changed earlier, or even when Ronald tangled with Cochrane where...

I think that most fans and even our coaching staff have realised that Fisher is never going to be a number 1 keeper for the Swans under the current coaching staff and as such will most probably be allowed to walk away(unless of course he moves in January) at the end of the season. He saw us...

Widell is slowly getting used to the frenzied at times pace of the EFL and from his arrival from the bench v Forest I believe he is going to develop into another shrewd signing. What I like about him is that he possesses pace, likes a tackle and doesn't shirk from the physical side of the game...
