    Our League form

    After watching the Gorringe interview the other day, he’s probably got Sachin Tendulkar lined up and ready to go.

    They were unchanged from Saturday, but not sure what that tells us. Also - looking at Fotmob (I know, I know...) of all their players (6 in total) ranked over 7/10 this season to date, all but one was in their starting line up tonight. So, they might be down a few bodies, but not the bodies...

    Had a gander at a PNE forum, didn't scan every page, but saw quite a few opinions similar to these that I grabbed Similar to the comments from Charlton fans after the game on Saturday. Now, we only got 1 point from those 2 games, but why is everyone so eager to look at the negative of...

    That was a frustrating watch. We played well enough to get something from a tough away game. Fortune favoured Preston tonight, that's for sure. I've got no time for the hysterical sack the manager brigade after that. Save that for another day.

    Aside from the worldie, it's been a game of poor quality, but we've certainly been the better side. Feels a bit like the Charlton game in that 3pts is on a plate for us here if we get a little more zip in our play. Preston don't look up to much.

    Listened to the Swans Cast preview with a PNE fan and he said they're a front-foot attacking in yer face kinda team that gets the ball to their danger players quickly. If that's true, we need to match that attitude and aggression from the off or it could get nasty early on. Unlikely to be a 'let...

    I think it'll be 5 at the back, with Franco and Galbraith in the middle and Cullen and Widdell being roaming attacking midfielders/inside forwards behind Idah. Similar to how we set up against Man City, with Cullen playing instead of Inoussa.

    Well, the inclusion of Cullen will get some blood pressures up, but I like the look of this team. Drop our unproductive wingers and try something else.

    Our attacking intent

    Ah, but this only pertains to open play, so maybe we're making up for that a bit with set-pieces... *checks notes* Oh.

    Tom Gorringe - The Business of Sport

    The bit that stood out the most for me was in the talk about Modric and Snoop and their social media reach, and one of the interviewers says something like 'I'd exploit the sh*t out that' and Gorringe replied 'That's essentially our business model' and I remember thinking...er...that doesn't...

    Are we doing OK or underachieving?

    I'd say that's a very charitable description of Russel Martin's brand of football, but I don't want to get sucked down that rabbit hole again... It certainly doesn't have to be one or the other, but often one is more a focus than the other and sometimes it's ok to start with the defence and not...

    Are we doing OK or underachieving?

    One thing I'd put into the positive column is that we look a more competent, professional defensive unit these days, although the bar was super low there... It wasn't that long ago that we were comedically, self-destructively bad at times. We look solid overall and that gives you a base to...

    Are we doing OK or underachieving?

    Right, I actually edited my post right after to add a paragraph as it seems clear to me it's more a case of Sheehan not wanting to play with someone there than anything else.

    Are we doing OK or underachieving?

    I think the Benson signing being a total flop so far is a significant factor in our attacking woes. We REALLY needed an effective alternative to Ronald down the right. I'm content with Tymon, Inoussa and Eom as options on the left, but Key, Ronald and Benson on the right is a major drop in...

    NFL 2025

    Beautiful example of commentators curse in the titans game. They were blowing smoke up Herberts ass before the snap. “It’s like he was genetically engineered to be a top QB, 6 foot 6, great size, great arm….’ *throws a pick 6 mid sentence* Gotta love it.

    Are we doing OK or underachieving?

    I often wonder how vital LOB was to our late season revival last time out. It should be pointed out that LOB was here under Williams as well and nothing changed, so the uptick in form started with Sheehan and not LOB. Then again, maybe LOB’s style just suited Sheehan more and you’re still left...

    AI articles need to end.

    I have no idea what the specific AI usage is for this article, but it should be pointed out that AI can easily be used to create highly opinionated content. You can ask it to adopt a particular persona and it will run with it, for example ‘adopt the persona of a highly opinionated fan of x...

    Swansea City Fans Lose Faith as Alan Sheehan Faces Growing Pressure Over Poor Form

    Very odd choice of article to generate after a week where we gained 4 from 6 in the league and gave a good account of ourselves against Man City.
