    Our recruitment has been crap for ages hasn't it. Their striker was plucked from the Norwegian leagues in the summer and bagged a brace. Our signings struggle to get two over the whole season.

    A lot of clubs are using it. We nicked it of Forest. Anyway, that wasn't great. Losing is becoming a habit that'll be hard to break with this squad.

    No obvious reason; as you say he’s been on the bench since his 3 game ban. He’s ridiculously lightweight though. I’d be playing Stamic and Galbraith as the two CDMs (with Galbraith licence to roam and be the playmaker). I’d like to see more of Widell ahead of them. He’s not going to get the...

    There’s no way I’d take our best midfielder out of the middle. Obviously right back is a bit of an issue though. Is Parker ready maybe?

    Matt Grimes, Captain of Coventry City.

    He was never the problem. I’m not sure why people couldn’t see that. All this rubbish about him only going sideways and backwards wasn’t supported by the stats (or human eyes). The full season before he left us he was in the top 4% of midfielders for forward passes, for example. Last season top...

    Yep. Utterly shapeless and clueless last night and Bristol City wasn’t much better. These have been the first two games I’ve thought we could be in serious trouble. This squad has always struggled for goals but now we’ve lost our structure and the defensive organisation, which up until Sheehan...

    I’m in the camp that thinks the players aren’t good enough. I know us fans are split on this (as per the other thread going on). Sheehan was getting the most out of them up until he lost the plot a few weeks ago imo. You can’t tell me after watching our front line week in week out that there are...

    Strong bench though. Nothing stopping us bringing five on after 15 minutes.

    Vitor Matos Named Swansea City Boss as New Era Begins at the Swansea.com Stadium

    The timeline suggests that wasn’t the case. Hellberg came over for talks and then Middlesbrough hijacked it. And then we went in for Matos. That’s the way it seemed. I imagine it’s pretty common to have multiple options up your sleeve for managers and players, so it’s no issue either way. The...

    VIP’s certainly papered over our atrocious attack. His goals have dried up and we look lost (hard to score when you’re on the bench mind - Sheehan and O’Dea are clowns)

    I’m still surprised at how quickly we’ve unraveled. We were fine a few weeks ago, solid at the back but just struggling a bit up top and so on the wrong end of some fine margins. But the team was together. People were bouncing after the effort against Man City. Then we stuck with 3 at the back...

    He’s a poor man’s Grimes, without the work rate and quality on the ball. He’s ok, but nothing more.

    That’s the difference. Bristol haven’t looked good and haven’t had much of the ball, but one good ball in and one deft touch, with our keeper and Burgess dithering, and it’s 2. We’ve been in similar positions around their box and done sod all with it. I know Eom’s getting stick, but Ronald is...
