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.

Buying Fairwood falls into line with what was mentioned some weeks back about the 18's and 21's moving from Landore and being integrated with the first team training at Landore, while the younger age group teams remain at Landore. Having said that, Fairwood as a playing complex has been in...

Improving the calibre of player recruited - higher wages Increasing the infrastructure for re-academy upgrade, possible move towards Cat 1 Increasing the amount of hospitality on offer on matchday. Renting out hotels / restaurants in the city

The position of the Swansea.com stadium is possibly in the wrong place and thank goodness the stadium wasn’t built on the old steelworks site at Velindre as there would be a huge drop of fans lost to the game if that area had been chosen. Having said that there is very little available sites in...

The main point in your reply is that if you link a generation to every 20 years you can see that from 1960 to present day approximately 4 generations have grown up to either follow or walk away to other interests, all through a combination of lack of finance at the club, no direction in the...

As much as accuracy can be gained from comparing the sizes of both cities – Norwich and Swansea, for me as far as football support is concerned the true comparison can only be seen when you look at both club’s playing history – what divisions they played in, especially from the period of post...

Based on the twelve years Tisdale was at Exeter he was much sought after and after joining MK Dons gained automatic promotion to League 1. After leaving the Dons following a bad run, he was at Bristol Rovers just three months after signing a two and half years contract. Following an advisory...

Paul Tisdale isn't a poor manager, he just stayed at Exeter too long. He was good enough for Huw Jenkins to try to get twice as our manager.

Regarding Dan's move to Man United, chairman at the time Trevor Birch, whatever fee was negotiated(£18M) it was paid in one instalment.

Progress for me will be a comfortable place in the top ten, where through continued, positive recruitment we can build the squad into a more formidable outfit. Having said that should we end the season in a Play Off place this season, naturally we would take it over two legs and on the day it...

The position of striker can be seen as the most difficult position in a team to obtain especially when finance is limited and almost every club is looking through the same data sheets, while as the window begins to close down the transfer fee, even for a loan player, begins to start rising. To...

No doubt about the fact that we are on the verge of having a team that will possess the intensity to compete for the full duration of a game. Add a goalscoring striker to the squad and cover for our full backs plus the Forest midfielder's signing being announced and we should have our strongest...

Photos taken from John Burgum's excellent book covering the first 75 years of the Swans from 1912 to Terry Yorath's Play Off Victory.

The Bournemouth defender didn't as much handle the ball, he actually attempted to deflect the ball, a deliberate act.

I find it totally unacceptable, especially with the cash involved in the Premier League that the fourth official in last night's Liverpool match was the same guy (Farai Hallam) who refereed the Boro v Swans match in what was his second season of refereeing in the EFL Championship level. Talk...
