Nah. Like it or not, Six into three won't go and we can't force it to a bit by making our standout midfielder so far play in another position. It's one deep lying midfielder (Stamenic, Franco or Yalcouye), one box to box (Galbraith, also maybe Franco and Yalcouye) and an AM. We don't have a...

Both much of a muchness for me. The bigger question is which central midfielder do we sacrifice to make room for a creative one.

Superb again today. Finding it hard to put a foot wrong at the moment. Chuffed for him.

Probably not helped by what appears to be his natural attacking midfield position being ignored in the way we want to play.

A lot of it is probably a reaction to the kind of hagiographic adulation that he was held in by his supporters during his time here and how they would brook no dissent on the topic. What a "top bloke" and "nice guy" he was, when it seemed pretty obvious from early on that he was an arrogant...

According to Ally McCoist...

We've played six league games so it's obviously far too early to come to any kind of definitive opinion on how good a job Dimi has done. It's probably easier to play down who he is if you weren't around at the time he was "contributing" to these forums. Speaking as someone who was, I don't...

A lot of people blamed Abraham for our problems up front when it was clear that Clement's style of play was the problem. He probably wasn't top-top level but he's gone on to have a very decent career overall.

That particular choice says more about the manager TBH. As we've seen in recent games, Sheehan's decision making isn't perfect.

My concern would be if Cravatt and Co are hanging onto Dimi as "their football guy" in much the same way as Kaplan and Co still depended on Jenkins after their takeover. When one individual holds so much sway not much good tends to come of it IMO, especially individuals with such, let's say well...

Possibly an element of truth to that as most Swans fans under 30 will have no real frame of reference to Cardiff as anything than that other Welsh team we tend to beat a lot. The whole "Derby" thing has been very one sided for pushing 15-20 years now and it might have lost its spice for those...

Probably no more true than the idea that we paid £6m for him.

By the sounds of it he did his usual trick of dispensing with his "process" just to get the result. Players previously frozen out recalled, a more direct and aggressive way of playing. He'll swap back when he thinks the heat is off just like he normally does.

The squad we had last season should have finished top ten. The club will be targeting more than that this time around given the money invested.

Yep. I'm definitely getting similar vibes. The component parts are there but they haven't quite clicked yet and the coach could maybe do with a bit more faith in some elements of it. People forget that we lost four out of our first eight league games that season.
