Pre-Season Friendly 23/24 | Swansea City v Bristol Rovers | The Swansea.com Stadium |

[Swansea93]

Key looked decent I thought, hopefully the next 7-10 days we’ll get 2/3 bodies in.

 

[Swanjaxs]

Is it too early for calling for heads to roll?
10 days before Brum, surely we can get someone decent in, init ...

 

[monmouth]

Ah, seriously mun, anything could happen. Anything. But these games won’t define how it pans out.

2/3 :lol:

The u21s beat Penybont 7-1 tonight which isn't bad considering half the team wasn't available.

 

[Risc]

2/3 :lol:

4/5 atleast

Edit - assuming we lose 1/2 that is though, so not far off.

 

[Glyn1]

Er, what was the score?

 

[magicdaps10]

Sorry but pre season or not......that was shiite!

Giving the opposition to much space and we are certainly short on numbers.

Apart from a couple of cross field passes, I just don't see the plan at the moment and the formation needs to change.

How on earth are we giving the opposition in the last 2 games so much space in both halves of the pitch?
Genuine question there as its criminal and something I haven't seen a Swansea team do for many a year now.

Lets be honest here, if that performance was with Martin in charge even in pre season them he would be having it all angles.
That's not a knock just truth speaking.

I don’t mean total, I mean within the next 7-10 days, can’t see us getting 5 players in that timescale.

 

[Richard]

We looked toothless going forward.

 

[Manselton Jack]

Way too early to judge the manager but that was a bit worrying to be honest.
If we're playing that system we need a left wingback in ASAP.
Wonder who he'll play there against Reading, neither Naughton or Abdulai have worked.

….And you would be saying “patience guys, it’s pre season. Transition season”.

Hardly calling for his head am I!?

It's constructive criticism coupled with honest talk......i have highlighted concerns and issues.
Hopefully the issues iron out and he gets things sorted.

There’ll be a left back in before Brum that’s the main thing.

My issue is they’ll probably arrive too late to get properly integrated into squad, but I’m assuming other clubs are in same boat.

Any idea on who that might be Risc?
I don't think moving Key over to that side will help.......as good as Abdulai looks, he is no left back and a few times a left footed full back on that side would have just attacked the space of their left foot.
Left back and Goalkeeper are priorities for the first league game.
