    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Swansea City 1 Derby County 0 | Att: 16,501 | The EFL Championship

    That does include cup games against underdog sides, and pre-season friendlies, obviously. In case you thought I was exaggerating.

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Swansea City 1 Derby County 0 | Att: 16,501 | The EFL Championship

    Fair points, but if I had a pound for every time we have played a team in the bottom quarter of our division and I’ve worked out where we could end the night in table terms after a 4-0 victory, only to see us lose stupidly after under-estimating the will of the opposition to win and leaving gaps...

    Respect. Well I went to Norwich and I didn’t even enjoy the journey. And you got to see a win today.

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Swansea City 1 Derby County 0 | Att: 16,501 | The EFL Championship

    Derby’s last four games (all wins) were against Preston (above us), Blackburn (also above us), Coventry (play-off contenders) and Plymouth (bottom of the table). On paper, that’s a very good result today against an in-form team. Sounds like it was poor entertainment. Sorry to hear that. Having...

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Swansea City 1 Derby County 0 | Att: 16,501 | The EFL Championship

    Harsh. I didn’t see the game or manage to listen to it so was dependent on this forum and BBC for updates. He put out a packed defence and negative looking midfield, switched to a much more attacking 4-2-3-1 in the final quarter and won the game. From that perspective the idea that it was a...

    Seems like it was a stratagem after all. Fair play.

    Unless @swan65split is correct and he’s playing rope-a-dope. Let’s hope so because otherwise the lack of changes at half time is deeply worrying.

    My great granddad moved to Swansea from Sunderland as a small child. Family of shipwrights. He went on to be a Cape Horner many times over.

    Really hope that’s a sign of things to come!

    Who Goes in The Summer? Who Stays? Players.

    I’d keep Naughton. Particularly if we are going to lose Darling. His footballing knowledge will be invaluable in the Championship (if we stay up) and outweighs his loss of pace. Not so sure about Key and Tymon if, as you say, we keep our back four. They are not FBs. Or at least not very good ones.

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Bristol City 0 Swansea City 1 | Att: 21,554 | The EFL Championship

    I thought we improved steadily as the game went on, at least until Naughton was subbed, which is no mean feat when O’Brien was making his debut and getting to know his teammates. We continued to defend well (or at least not as badly as we have been - some of our clearances were needlessly rushed...

    I liked that back three a lot.

    Well to be fair to them O’Brien is brand new and Delcroix is still bedding in. Ronald and Cullen are bizarre choices for their positions in this formation but on the whole it’s beginning to look like an improvement on recent performances.

    One positive from today's game

    Of course, for the past 40-odd years, when 99 times out of a 100 we have been hanging on to a win or a draw by the skin of our teeth and knowing what's happening in the dying minutes is critical, they didn't bother offering that service. Now we are allowing opponents to score for fun against us...

    One positive from today's game

    The BBC's live text service told us how many minutes of extra time the Fourth Official had flagged. Not seen that before. Usually they go off and have a cup of tea at about 87 minutes. Silver linings and all that.

    Is Matt Grimes a legend??

    Not a legend. Not even close. I've wanted to see him go for at least a few seasons now. I actually felt bad about that for a while because there was an article saying how much he loves Swansea and the club, he's put down roots in SW Wales, his family are here etc etc so I thought 'oh well maybe...

    Genuinely Excited

    If the goat has escaped already, it’s not going to carry the can for whatever happens is it? Mind you, that’s pretty damning evidence of its guilt if it has legged it.

    Captain Grimes on his way to Coventry City?

    He’ll get as far as Bridgend before turning round.

    Coleman out

    We ended 2024 with decent performances. So far this calendar year we've had three abject capitulations, one unlucky defeat and a draw against a top tier club, during a period when our first choice CBs have been disrupted by injury, suspension, and introducing a new player who barely had time to...

    I didn’t watch

    And yet we had the tightest defence in the division for the first part of the season. I don't buy this 'the players are sabotaging him' line. You only had to see the passion on Liam's face yesterday when he celebrated his goal to know that they care deeply about winning. (Although there was...
