Apart from good PR and local parents and kids potentially starting supporting the Swans I’d argue there’s very little benefit of being a Cat 2 Academy. From a purely footballing point of view you either go Cat 1 and compete with the ‘big boys’ or scrap it entirely and use the Brentford model...

I’ve liked him and wouldn’t have been worried if he’d played more, but I guess there were no Championship clubs that would guarantee him any more game time than with us. As you say they’ll likely be in the Championship next year so 20 games of League 1 football is better than potentially 0...

You’d think that it would encourage more people to vote, although there’s so much apathy towards politics and politicians I’m not sure it’ll make much difference. I’m not really sure which party/parties it would benefit if turnout was high (relatively) anyway?

Looks like winning 2-0 at Stamford Bridge in a cup semi final 1st leg isn’t for everyone!

It’s definitely the safest bet to get what you want and if you can get that percentage up to high 50s then you’re quids in irrespective of anything else. However, there’s a pretty important race for the bronze medal and 10-15% of the vote in each of the 16 constituencies. Which one(s) are in...

I’m not sure that’s strictly true (the last two sentences I mean) If you don’t want Reform, but also don’t want Labour involved in any coalition there’s an equally valid argument for voting either Green or Lib Dem - especially if that poll is anywhere near accurate in terms of the National picture.

As many others have mentioned, if his signing means that Parker goes out on loan and plays regularly in the EFL and/or we sell Key for a half decent fee (I had high hopes for him but unfortunately his form and confidence have dropped so far that a fresh start may be best for all parties - glad...

Agree with this and only the players and management will know the answer to your question. Some players can improve, some just struggle to make the correct decision or remain calm under pressure in actual games. What is certain though is that we need to look very closely at that aspect when...

Clearly doesn’t fancy one after the one he missed in the league. Two shoot outs and hasn’t taken one. That’s fine though, would rather people who want to take them - shouldn’t be forcing players up if they don’t want to.

Much stronger than I was expecting. I guess with a free midweek either side it makes sense

That’s an interesting take and there’s some truth in there but also some rewriting of history. If we were in danger of bankruptcy/administration after relegation, than some of the blame lies at the feet of Jenkins, Morgan et al, as the contracts with no relegation clauses and ridiculously high...

Didnt Savage take 3 or 4 of their best players with him to Forest Green in the summer as well. Incredible result!

Great game tbf!

Part of the reason must be they are planning on sending Parker out on loan? If he has been training with the club for a little while it'll be interesting to see if he starts on Sunday - only way to get up to speed will be playing matches.

4-1 I’d go for. Be surprised if England bat the 4 sessions they’ll need to in order to get a draw.

I’m sure part of the interview is based on trying to rebuild his reputation, but was is 100% accurate (and I’m not one to use that lightly) is that 2 of his 3 senior centre halves were sold after the first game of the season and he was very very close to walking away at that point. This...

This, this and this again. And Huw Jenkins’ quote of only a fool would spend more than 70% of income on wages and not have relegation clauses… 12-18 months later both were happening!

It’s a strange league this year with very little to choose between 20+ teams No reason the team/squad couldn’t have been in the top 10 when you consider Preston, Millwall, Hull & Wrexham are in there. With the start we had I’d happily take 12th-16th as long as we show signs of improvement in...

Agree with a lot of that but the first two won’t happen for a whole host of reasons.

Agree with this (although some will say it’s an excuse) Two weeks off without a game for anyone he wants to rest and plenty of time on the training ground to work on things with no away game until 24th January, Far more positives than negatives over the last few weeks and look forward to...
