Looking forward to picking one up for £15 in April

The irony is that most of the managers who say they play attractive, fluent and exciting football, don't!

I get the general sentiment on this thread and I've been quite surprised at how quickly the fans have turned on Sheehan. The dissent at the ground is as bad as I can remember for a long time. I'm dying for him to do well because he seems like a nice bloke and so much of what he does and says I...

More or less how many goals we'd score in probability, given the chances created etc. Its just a stat to tell you a bit more about how the game went as opposed to just the score. Vips xG was low today because he scored two goals where the probability of him scoring was low (Ie. Most players...

The sensible part of me knows this isn't true but I almost feel conned by the sort of football we played last season under him to the sort we are playing this season. The change in our style and the enjoyment was pretty much achieved overnight after Williams was sacked, so I'm not quite sure I...

I've been wondering if football as a whole is changing so much that we all something that's rapidly going out of fashion. Basically like turning up at a chess match expecting blood and thunder entertainment

Under Sheehan last season we were regularly shooting from distance, getting the crowd on their feet, getting some momentum, etc. All that seems to have stopped now. Very easy to defend against if you know that the opposition aren't going to have a pop as you can stand off at your leisure.

I would also add that presumably the plan last night was to still be in the game with 10 minutes left to play and then have a bit of a go. As soon as we started doing that, we looked much better. Although whether that was due to a change in approach or personnel (Vip on for Idah), who knows.

The football we've seen so far this season, without exception, has been extremely far removed from what I would consider to to be the 'Swansea Way'. It's just a slight variation on the garbage served up by Williams which in itself was a slight variation of the garbage served up by Martin...

Depends on whether they all tell the players to play a certain way. It seems to be as though the football we were playing at the end of last season has been replaced by a variation of Russ/Lukeball, without any real reason as to why.

There's also a sense for me that if we make the right change early, there's nothing in this league this season. I reckon we'd still have half a chance of mounting some sort of challenge

It's night and day in comparison with a lot of the football under Sheehan from last season. So disappointing

Picking Franco and Yalcouye (and Stamenic for that matter) in midfield and putting Galbraith at right back is like taking three Asda value sausages out of the freezer for your tea whilst the dog has a ribeye steak

It's like eating a dry cone

I like him defensively but when we work him into good positions, it comes to nothing. Which really shows up his limitations

My take on it is that they probably gave Sheehan the job out of obligation given the way we finished last season. They really had no option but to do so. Given the intent we've shown this summer, there has clearly been a plan and I'd be amazed if giving our previous coach the manager position...

There's still a hell of a lot of pointless passing going on. Irrespective of who it's between

"Long"

I don't know what the world record is for submissions prior to a performance management hearing but you'd think it was at serious risk of being broken

I'd like someone to explain exactly why it's different. Because it isn't
