Schizophrenia?

Let's look at positives.
7 without a win.

But he'll say we've had 70% possession mun.
Lookout a 3-3 on the cards.

Ask me tonight's lotto numbers :lol:

Doesn’t change anything because Martin will revert to type against Reading.

This has highlighted we have the players to score goals but he is holding us back with his selections/tactics.

Today was the tipping point for me. Bye bye please.

Saw that film. Where the moped thinks it's a motorbike...

No, that one was called Delusions of Grandeur

 

[lidojack]

I don't even know what to think anymore. We are so crap, then we concede (three in this case) and look like absolute world beaters.

Take the bloody handbrake off from the start.

Like I have said many many times, this is the craziest Swansea team I ever watched.(Maybe the craziest of any team, Spurs under Ardiles were bonkers)

 

[Muteswan]

10th place in the league and 2 points off the playoff places. Never, ever doubted the process.

I’m sticking behind the sofa. Not going again until he’s gone OR we change the way we set up and get rid of the wank that he picks to start.

Shout out for Benda. His first half performance kept the score down at HT. The game would have been over by then if it wasn’t for him.

This! With jingle bells on!

I went for some amusement onto the Cardiff site. This tickled me

“ I would also add that in my opinion Colwill is not the great white elephant riding to the rescue....”

Thick. As. Mince.

So 70% possession today, that's generally a draw. Over 80% possession is usually a loss, and 50% possession - Swans win!!

That's why so many goals are conceded from a winning position in the last ten minutes. Everybody and their dog knows how to score against Martin's high possession game.

The afternoon started so well.

Easy parking at Coventry Welsh rugby club and a drink in the clubhouse.

First 5 mins of the game it did look as if we were going to play at some tempo, but there was no real control in our play.
That didn't last and the rest of the half was slow tempo huff and puff which was a total embarrassment.
If not for Benda we could easily have been 3 or 4 down at half time.

Early in the second half things got even worse, with no teamwork at all on the pitch.
Then the early Christmas present came with a number of subs.
From that point we destroyed Coventry, apart from a couple of scares. We played at a high tempo and with commitment
My mind drifted back to the old days when we pulled back to 3-3 against West Brom and Mansfield.
A last minute scare when they got a free kick on the edge of the area, but the wall held.

Really a game of mixed emotions when it was total despair to a glowing feeling (maybe relief) at the end.

That last 20 mins doesn't gloss over what went before, as sadly we can expect more of the ealy parts of the game than the last 20 min, but for now I'll enjoy the comeback
