    Tickets on sale for Oxford away fixture

    This morning I got an email from the club saying they are now on general sale. But there's no link on the official site. Are they all gone already?

    Stoke first to pull the trigger

    For some reason I always think of Stoke and QPR as our closest comparators in terms of how we've fared since being relegated - QPR because they came up with us and Stoke because they went down at the same time (and because their fans always tipped us for relegation every season we were in the...

    We are getting rather off topic here, but if other posters don’t mind I’ll respond. 230 people died in bombing raids on Swansea in WW2. 330 died in bombing raids on Norwich, during which a substantial number of historic buildings were wiped out. Check out the ‘Hell Fire Raid’. I don’t...

    It's The Gower where I grew up, and the H in The Hafod is silent. Hence the LA (Lower Hafod). Was only joking about Swansea only having the Gower and the LC2. Obviously there's Wind Street too. Norwich has loads going for it - people say the centre has a mediaeval church for every month of the...

    Norwich's home support didn't drop below 25k for a single game last season other than when they played Bristol Rovers in the third round of the cup (and even then they got just shy of 20k). Not when the match was on TV. Not when they dropped to 17th place. Not even when it rained. Proper...

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

    Plenty of positives to take from yesterday's game: Cabango, Cooper and Grimes reminded us what they are capable of, Franco outstanding again, Ronald and Eom showing real potential. Of course we should be aspiring to finish in the top 6 - that should be the minimum goal for most clubs in this...

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

    I'd be quite happy for Cullen to lead the line from the start. But Vipotnik needs to come on early enough to make a difference, and we need to get the ball to him. Having been quite gloomy after the last game and the end of the transfer window with only Cullen and Vipotnik as strikers, I thought...

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

    I was thinking along similar lines today. I don’t think Tymon and Key are WB material but we might be better off with Ronald and Eom as inside forwards rather than as wingers. And I’d play Naughton, Pedersen and Darling as the three CBs. Which would mean dropping Grimes and Cabango which...

    Summer 2024 Transfer Rumours

    I don't agree that the back-ups are largely poor. Don't know McLoughlin but it's unlikely he'll be needed. Naughton is one of our best players and can also cover CB. Abbey is a class player thrown in at the deep end midweek without time to learn anyone else's names let alone how they play...

    Grimes

    Or worse, to a yard behind where the receiving player rather than two yards in front so they have negative momentum when they get the ball. The reason I’m so frustrated with Grimes is that in one game in 10 he actually does what we want him to do. The potential is there.

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Swansea City vs Wycombe Wanderers | The Carabao Cup

    It’s true that we are ponderous when we play Grimes and Fulton together. I genuinely hoped we would not see that happen again and that Williams had learned his lesson. I understand him wanting to rest Franco, but he could easily have played Allen or even Abdullai in CM alongside either Grimes or...

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Swansea City vs Wycombe Wanderers | The Carabao Cup

    As As well as benching Grimes and Fulton for the next few games, I’d make Darling captain. He displays more leadership on the pitch than any other player, Grimes included. Oli Cooper would be my second choice (can he play CM?).

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Swansea City vs Wycombe Wanderers | The Carabao Cup

    Let’s get some perspective. Tonight Williams fielded a team of relative strangers and the Chuckle Brothers in the midfield engine room. Zan was starved of service. Williams made changes way, way too late. Abbey is a class act who was thrown in the deep end tonight before he has had a chance to...

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Swansea City vs Wycombe Wanderers | The Carabao Cup

    Yes, but that was the Jay Fulton who gave 110% (and cost us the play-off finals as a result of his enthusiasm), not the one who taps the ball straight back to whoever gave it to him with no movement at all 90% of the time. (Which is particularly frustrating given what he can do the other 10%.)

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Swansea City vs Wycombe Wanderers | The Carabao Cup

    Precisely! Laudrup moved us on from that style of play at the same time as Spanish football evolved, and that was the best period in our history. Remember when he played one winger, and then three? Really inventive stuff. Martin was cos-playing the glory days of Barca’s tiki-taka and I worry...

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Swansea City vs Wycombe Wanderers | The Carabao Cup

    Annoying though those ‘we need to’s’ are, at least he’s dropped Martin’s intensity/domination nonsense. The man never knowingly accepted responsibility for anything. Even a defeat was a victory as long as we had the lion’s share of possession. My son has a theory that Grimes and Fulton are on...

    Duff was the same, though. Are Grimes and Fulton ignoring what they are told (and if so why do they both get picked) or doing precisely what they were told to do?

    I’d bench them both for the next three games and play some combination of Allen with Franco or Abdullai in midfield.

    I like Luke. Seems like an honest, down to earth guy. He understands the club, its history and the supporters. And I like what he has to say about how he wants his team to play. I want him to succeed. I am happy to give him the benefit of the doubt for Sunday. I truly believe his substitutions...
