Looking back to the game we were desperate in the last 20 minutes for somebody in midfield to hold onto the ball, but when a referee fails in letting the game flow the result was the percentage possession gradually tilted to the home team. Looking back to the damage Patrick Roberts made in the...

Decision making in football can be extremely marginal especially in player recruitment and when one looks at strikers like Kone and McBurnie who are both finding the net regularly at QPR and Hull one wonders what we will get from Idah as at the moment he has done very little on the ball let...

Potter inherited a squad of players that needed to be taken off the club's wage bill when he arrived and one by one they left. For every one you say bored the life out of them there were far more who appreciated his style of play. Chelsea was a poor decision by him to take a job at a club that...

Its not defeatist its a more realistic attitude of how good we actually are in comparison to so many clubs in the Ch'ship who are prepared to throw millions at getting into the PL. As for naming Forest, just look back at the millions they spent in bulking up their squad for promotion under...

What are posters aspirations this season - for me I would prefer to cement ourselves in a top ten place, work to continue with our excellent summer recruitment programme and move on from there. Having said that, should we find ourselves challenging for a P/Off place come next season, go for it.

Swans were the only team who played football in first half, a clear goal ruled offside, but once the momentum of the game changed to a stop, start, stop start affair it suited the home team. Possibly, the subs could have been changed earlier, or even when Ronald tangled with Cochrane where...

I think that most fans and even our coaching staff have realised that Fisher is never going to be a number 1 keeper for the Swans under the current coaching staff and as such will most probably be allowed to walk away(unless of course he moves in January) at the end of the season. He saw us...

Widell is slowly getting used to the frenzied at times pace of the EFL and from his arrival from the bench v Forest I believe he is going to develop into another shrewd signing. What I like about him is that he possesses pace, likes a tackle and doesn't shirk from the physical side of the game...

Just imagine the danger both Burgess and Santos would do in the opposition penalty area but there again I think we would be torn apart by the better clubs with their quick ball movement.

Galbraith - and to think there were plenty of fans amongst us who criticised the club's recruitment from the lower leagues.

Whatever happened in the close season Vip knew there was serious interest and a large transfer fee in Monty bringing in a striker(Kone). I have no doubt however that not only has Vip knuckled down,, realised that Cullen was the only striker between him and a regular place, and upped his game the...

Not sure if you are right regarding cup games being included in the season ticket. I can't remember any season when it happened, and what about the percentage a visiting team takes from the official attendance. FA Cup ties see both teams taking 40/45% each with the remainder going to the FA...

If my memory serves me right he wasn't that popular as he very rarely came off his line when defending set pieces. Having said that, for some reason fans didn't like Jason Scotland. 53 league and cup goals in two seasons. Hmm

wOne of a number of players spotted by scout Kevin Reeves playing in Scotland who once he settled in at Swansea became a fans' favourite, barking out orders like a Walrus behind a steady defensive back row governed by Ash Williams. The one aspect of his game he failed to conquer whilst playing...

I would have thought that any footballer of the calibre as Hull's Giles for producing telling crosses into our penalty are would have come under far more scrutiny than what we gave him. There's tucking in, but to continually leave one defender on his own and inviting the opposition to switch the...

That challenge was just one of many that referee Webb failed to give while the blatant shirt pull on Ronald in injury time turned the game and led to Hull's equaliser. Sheahan is the ultimate backstop when it comes to criticism but for me the enormous change in the squad need time to gel...

Is it a coincidence that Ronald's form in front of goal from playing a more central role is to the detriment of him forgoing the defensive side of his game which at times last season he was called by some fans to replace Key at right full back. Four times I counted in the first half Hull...

A lot going on behind the scenes between the manager and the owner and it was all a matter of time before he was axed. Nuno will get another job, the owner will employ a new head coach, life goes on at Forest until the next time Forest's owner throws his toys out of the pram when the club's head...

Could it be that the higher quality of midfield player brought in this summer is making Vip look like a better player. Even though Ronald has been here a tad longer the pass from Vip to set Ronald up for the second goal at Wednesday was something not seen last season.

It seems that Clement is a better number two than being in charge of the backroom staff. The warning signs came at Derby but we(Jenkins) chose to ignore them.
