The issue I have with the Yates signing is that I don't understand why we signed him. It was obvious even to a lowly supporter that he was never going to be the sort of player with the attributes we needed.

I don't understand this though. What sort of player do you think we should replace Cooper with? How much should we be paying in transfer fees, wages etc?

If people think we can undo years of crap windows in one window, they're living in dreamland. Especially when you add in the turnover of players since the end of last season (not to mention Grimes in January)

It's a shame the Welsh media interest (from what I've seen anyway) has been so low.

I would definitely pay to have an 'Away Package' where I could watch all the away games live via an app. Especially if you could also watch them in full after kick off meaning that if you missed the start/first half/entire game, you could try and avoid the score and watch it a bit later on. If...

You'd think it would be quite busy for any Swans away games on Sky. And Wales matches. Makes sense to me. Hopefully they'll offer good food too so they can make money throughout the week. Hopefully there'll be discounts for STH etc

McLaughlan and Christie leaving too no doubt. Who knows what involvement Ginnelly (28) will have. It means that we'd only have one outfielder over 30 (Fulton) and the next oldest player would be Cullen at 26

100% this. So many signings recently have cost a lot of money and been pretty poor. We should be operating with a relatively small squad, using young players when needed but making sure that when we do spend money, it is on proven quality. Or at least, when we have the chance to sign proven...

Did LOB tell you last night he was coming back next year?

By the time next season comes around, he won't have played for Forest for two and a half years. I am not sure he is going to attract a big transfer fee. Most championship clubs won't pay a big fee plus his wages to sign him permanently. His loan moves to the Championship have been...

This would be absolutely brilliant news

Just a reminder that Roberto Martinez became our manager over 18 years ago. To long for those days now would be like talking about 1989 when he was appointed. Leaving aside the merits of playing football that way again, I'm not even sure if it's possible these days for a club with our...

Fans don't necessarily do (although things like shots/possession/corners/action areas are stats that have been used for decades at half time as a measure of how the game has gone etc so xG etc is only really an extension of that) but clearly clubs can utilise them when assessing performances of...

The point I always make with this though is that sometimes the stats do match up with what the eyes are telling you. For instance, Joel Piroe's Goals v xG is very good and in fact I think quite often he has run ahead of his xG. Based on just watching him, you'd say he a) scores a lot of...

It is an abbreviation of expected goals. It shows how many goals a team would ordinarily be expected to score from the chances they created in that game/positions they got into, etc. Therefore, if we had beaten Plymouth 1-0 without getting near their goal but Key had smashed in that worldy, our...

It's a no-brainer to appoint Sheehan imo. If it doesn't work out then they just sack him at some stage next season with hardly any finger pointing because the vast majority of fans would have done the same thing. Appoint someone else, Sheehan goes elsewhere and does a great job and when the...

I think we'd be mad not to appoint him. That Derby result looks good given their results before and since. Winning that gave us the platform to then take 6 points from today and Wednesday

My worry is that a lot of people have already made up their minds that Sheehan isn't the right man for the job, irrespective of the evidence we are seeing unfolding in front of us.

My question would be why he's still here then. Because it's all very well and good not being fussed on him but there can't have been any realistic options available to us before now, surely? The only possibility would be that there'll be more options in the summer/someone is more likely to come...

I don't think a decent manager would think they'd lose pretty much every game between now and the end of the season. Even something terrible like 5 points from 8 games would suffice.
