Another gutless performance

[BendJack]

In all fairness the Foxes were a different class and Jordan James oozed class and maturity beyond his young age.

I thought we would have been "up for this" as a win would have propelled us into the playoffs.

Unfortunately, another bad case of stage fright or sitting their pants, with tactics reverting to backwards football instead of hoofing it route 1 into the swirling wind.

We tried the impossible today by trying to outplay Leicester at the beautiful game.

If the Swans took their chances in the same way by shooting from distance instead of trying to fight their way into the goal, the results may indeed have been different...

It seems ANY criticism ATM is viewed, by some, as an overreaction or "entitlement" instead of constructive suggestions to improve! It's completely disingenuous to claim everything is great at Swansea City when the team clearly have an inability to consistently take their chances -- instead putting to hold the all, pass backwards or sideways and completely slow down virtually all momentum.

I believe the team we have are doing themselves a huge disservice as they're better than this! It's not "entitlement" to want to see the players play to the potential we know they have - especially when we've seen these glimpses and capabilities in the past, even from Josh Key at range!

Praise the Lord someone talking sense. If we lose to Southampton, this place will be toxic. As I said on other posts. First time in 15 years we have a player who had gone on a consistent goal scoring record in VP. Beat record in 5 years for home record. And statistically the most hardest set of first set of matches in the championship, oh and we just beat a Premier league team. We need to improve 100%. But overreaction is mad.

What do you mean the hardest first set of matches? Compared to who? We’ve played four top half teams and five bottom half, including the teams in 21st, 23rd & 24th.

I also have no idea what you mean about consistent goalscorers? Were Piroe, McBurnie & Bony not then?

Really? I don’t think that his caretaker days brought about a different approach to the game. Whilst the results were good, it was hardly fast free flowing football (a phrase someone once coined on here).

Agree it wasn’t free flowing but I do think it was a bit more progressive and entertaining, think it’s a bit safe now.

15 years includes Michu too. If it’s 5, as you say, is anyone seriously comparing Vipotnik with Piroe?

I don’t know why there’s a need for people (not you JF) to dress what we’re seeing up as brilliant, or garbage tbh. If I had to come up with two words to describe it, it would be ‘needs improvement’. One word, would probably, if I were pushed, be ‘meh’.

It’s time to put this ‘hardest opening’ to bed too. As you say, one of the few actual facts available is we’ve played three of the bottom 4 and they are the teams that we have beaten. That is simply a fact.
