Irrespective of the quality in the summer recruitment the writing was on the wall after some insipid performances against league opposition(Stevenage, Cheltenham, Exeter) in the pre-season matches which has carried on during most league games where a consistent performance over 90 minutes has...

Yet again there's been no coverage in the OS apart from X regarding match reports on either our 18's and 21's. Come on Gorringe sort it out these are the teams that are producing potential first team footballers. Here is a report from a Watford perspective...

At the moment I think its more the system of play that is the problem. No driving midfielder through the centre, all of the play is totally predictable that even a moderate Rangers side took advantage of prior to Yacouye's dismissal.

Andrew, I don't have any inside information and all I have done is look how far Worth has come in a short time at the club as against an experienced recruitment officer in Montague and it appears to me that Cravatt is backing Worth. We all agreed that the summer recruitment was very good but the...

Oxford brought close on 2000 fans but the home percentage(17700) was almost as high as it was against Hull in a previous match. There is something radically wrong in our quick decline regarding our passages of play and who do you believe, Sheehan or the players. Are the players letting Sheehan...

There is no doubt that the second half of season 2024/25 regarding a playing style was the most welcomed since Potter’s second half of his one year tenure, albeit down to one player – Liam O’Brien. He alone instigated an attacking formula and by the end of the season there were rumours demanded...

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-15188483/Island-nation-second-smallest-qualify-World-Cup-historic-moment-bad-news-Andre-Onana-Cameroon.html With Wales's qualifying for the next World Cup Finals in doubt, a return to fitness from Ricardo Santos could well see him included in...

No analytics back in the Tosh days, and when Harry Griffiths took over, with the raw talent he inherited - James, Curtis, Charles, Stevenson - it was a matter of getting the ball forward and they would do the rest. Almost a century of goals scored in 1976/77 season yet promotion was missed by...

Hard to imagine the career Ben has had since his days alternating with Joe Walsh on the left side of defence, at full back or at left side c/back during a season played in the Premier Reserve League in 2011/12. Absolutely nothing between either player and with Walsh making his first team debut...

Two brilliant eras of playing in the top tier of English football but what disappointed me more was the fallaway of fans in Tosh's second season in the First Division when after 3 league games Swans were second in the league and had already witnessed a Latchford hat-trick v Norwich City. Around...

Is it time to lead Cyril the Swan to his retirement home or do fans think he is actually worth persevering with.

the actual attendance was 8505

No not really, but if one looks back at the number of people since relegation from the PL who have been involved in our recruitment and analytics departments within the club I daresay percentage wise there have been in ongoing recruitment and departures almost every 18 months.

It beggars belief that there are still some amongst us who read these blogs.

Unless you have some inside information, Swansea City sign Malick Yalcouyé on loan Official site, 14/8/2025 Swansea City is delighted to confirm the signing of Malick Yalcouyé on loan for the 2025-26 season, subject to international clearance and visa approval.

Wrexham no doubt will be well in favour of the option especially when you consider their turnover of £30M last season and the crowds being drawn to their summer friendly matches in the USA. Our owners no doubt are looking to expand their sponsorship opportunities abroad and they, like so many...

How long did Coventry take to head the league table? Some need to realise that irrespective of spending cash and bringing in a large percentage of players every season there has to be a period where players need to be bedded down to the system of play and capabilities of players. It only happens...

Cooper also had two years of para payments to fund those signings

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-15141867/INSIDE-SPORT-Welcome-VAR-roadshow.html And they think its going to work! The incompetency has drifted down to all EFL levels and what they(PGMO) have done is pass on an initial honest decision by a referee to a computer in Stockley Park.

For whatever reason it appears we have become a soft touch in defence as the clock winds down to the end of the first half and full time. Where has our discipline gone, our hard nosed defenders, our professionalism in setting up to defend set pieces. Could Larry have come off his line to punch...
