And a 64 yard kick to tie the game!! 😳

That’s ridiculous if there’s genuine Swans fans over the age of 18 that actually think that. 18 seasons and counting in the top two divisions is definitely good enough for me!

Yep, definitely not out of the question we make top 6, but there’s at least 13/14 other clubs think the exact same thing! Need luck with injuries still (as there’s a lot of unproven cover at the back) and some of the attacking players to have outstanding seasons - performances & number of...

New guy from Australia taking over next month I think… Welcome to Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 😅

Agree with all of this. The summer was very positive. Even if some of the signings don’t live up to expectations at least the squad looks more balanced than it has for years. However, the idea we’ve suddenly got a nailed on top 6 squad, if that’s what some think, is way OTT. Sheehan is new to...

Not sure I’d say he’s only got one way of playing. The formation and shape has changed lots over the years at City. What he clearly struggled with last year was adapting when teams attack them and press high. Will be interesting to see what happens this year as they’ve certainly got the players...

This is true and seems to be the same at West Ham - although having Nordefelt in goal and a small and inexperienced team can’t have helped

I do think the game has evolved in the last few years. Unless you’re at the very top level, where you can attract the best players, I think you always need to adapt as a coach/manager. Possibly the increase in data will lead to things changing more quickly and more often as people interpret...

I’m still hopeful on Widell in the medium term but he’s not quite there yet and the difficulty is how does he get up to speed if not getting significant minutes. Not that he’s the same type of player, but hopefully like Jordi Gomez did, he’ll grow into the season as it progresses. We...

I do like this about him. Managers are always going to protect their players but he’s pretty honest (and accurate) in his assessment after every game. Maybe too honest!

Costa Del Swansea obviously (but maybe not on a wet and windy Wednesday night in September!!)

Fair enough 👍 Possibly I’m biased the other way in that I just don’t think he’s anything like some of the other managers we’ve had in terms of arrogance (arguably you need that to succeed at the top level) or being wedded to one way of playing. He’s definitely lost his chance of a long...

Can’t blame their fans for prioritising a trip to Seville the week after 😂😂

We’ll agree to disagree on the strength of the squad. In terms of what he achieved with them then he was the reason our keepers cost us 5-10 points but IMO he was also the main reason other players (especially the younger ones) massively over performed expectations and in some cases got their...

I hear the second part a lot but the facts about the squad don’t bare that out. His 2 keepers (who he wrongly chopped and changed) are the worst keepers (apart from Fisher) we’ve had since relegation. Roberts, Rodon, James & McBurnie (who obviously went on to make the club loads of money had...
