    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Sheffield United vs Swansea City | The EFL Championship

    For Williams to say "I think they gave it a good go throughout the whole game" when we played with zero intensity throughout is really worrying. Fine, up to a point, when it's nil nil, but absolutely not fine when you're behind. There is something fundamentally flawed about Williams' judgement...

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Sheffield United vs Swansea City | The EFL Championship

    That second half display, apart from the last 5 minutes was shocking. Zero intent to play with tempo and intent. The fact that the manager said this after the game says it all: "I think they gave it a good go throughout the whole game. "I'm very proud of their performance tonight. In the...

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Sheffield United vs Swansea City | The EFL Championship

    Franco has definitely added to our defensive resilience, but he's yet to show much going forwards. Allen off the bench still has an important role to play. His performance on Sunday was a lot better than people give him credit for.

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Sheffield United vs Swansea City | The EFL Championship

    I would start with Key and Cullen (if fully recovered) and keep faith with Ronald, as much for his excellent defensive work as anything. We should look to take advantage of the fact that he gets double marked by getting Key, Franco and Cullen to receive short passes from him. We need to be a lot...

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Sheffield United vs Swansea City | The EFL Championship

    Our xG conceded is over 11, compared to our actual conceded of 5. We have the worst difference between goals conceded and xG conceded in the league. This doesn't tell the whole story as Vigouroux's performances have clearly helped and we defend our box well. But it's unrealistic to expect us to...

    Our Crowds

    Which is why we have to have lots of marketing initiatives, especially out in the sticks. Every empty seat earns zero revenue. It shouldn't be that difficult to sell out the stadium with its modest 21,000 capacity. We evidently can't assume people will just turn up - we have to tempt them with...

    Ronald The Show Pony

    The whole team was too static especially second half. This is something Williams should be really focused on improving. It's a big contributory factor to why we develop attacks so slowly, there’s often no one moving into space to receive the pass.

    Our Crowds

    But that doesn't explain why our crowds are down whereas Championship crowds are on the rise generally. We are 19th on average attendances but would be lower, probably 21st, were it not for the two derbies.

    Ronald The Show Pony

    Ronald had a poor game for sure yesterday, but he got very little support from Naughton. When Key came on at least Ronald had an option to pass to. If anyone has to be scapegoated for their performance yesterday then it’s Naughton as he could easily have received a second yellow for his...

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Swansea City v Bristol City | The EFL Championship

    We lost control of the game from the start of the second half, the subs had little bearing on things. Vipotnik's lack of game time probably meant he couldn't play for longer. It’s a bit of a concern that Eom is deemed unable to last more than 70 minutes in a game. Is his fitness that poor...

    Allen set for Wales return...

    Yes there are risks of Allen getting injured on international duty but it's great to hear Williams accentuate the positives of Swans player involvement in the national side. Cooper has clearly returned from Wales duty with a lot of confidence. The form of Cabango and Cullen has been excellent...

    Allen set for Wales return...

    Seeing that he's backup to Franco with us and to James at international level perhaps the risks aren't that great from half an hour cameos. In fact it may be beneficial for us as it helps to build his match fitness.

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Swansea City v Bristol City | The EFL Championship

    You make a number of good points. You can add to that that over the course of the next games we should get a sense of the contribution that our new signings that havent featured much to date are likely to make. I think we can already say with confidence that Franco and Vigouroux are likely to be...

    “A few more games we will be able to understand if we’re good, or if we’ve been somewhat fortunate when we’ve hit oppositions in a bad moment," he said at the weekend. "I don’t know yet. I’m waiting to see my group, to show me over 10, 12 games . . . OK, this is us now." Those are the sort of...

    I'm not the one determined to ignore the underlying stats. They aren't the be all and end all but they have their place, in working out what's working and what needs improving. I think we're heading in the right direction, but we need to build on the battling performances, with our creativity...

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Swansea City v Bristol City | The EFL Championship

    Of course I agree with that, but if you want to see how the rest of the season is likely to pan out then you need to look objectively at the facts and be realistic about weaknesses. Congratulating ourselves on how wonderful we are leads to complacency and under par performances down the line...

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Swansea City v Bristol City | The EFL Championship

    The high press is an important part of our game. Although he's tried hard when he's come on he clearly doesn't have the athleticism to be effective in that role. It has all the makings of another poor striker signing. He will have to be Piroe level deadly to compensate for his defensive limitations.

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Swansea City v Bristol City | The EFL Championship

    We definitely can't underestimate them. If we've been a bit lucky with our results they've probably been unlucky, judging by their stats. They've conceded from 17.4% of the shots they've faced, second worst after Cardiff. The Swans on the other hand have conceded only 4.9% of shots faced, second...

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Swansea City v Bristol City | The EFL Championship

    The defence has been good for sure, but if you're presenting the opposition with 20 shots on goal then you can't be doing everything right. That the double chance with the initial header against the bar didn’t result in a goal was more down to poor finishing than good defending. Our xG...
