Yes, because that's what I said.

It was not uncommon for us to start slowing up from about the 60th minute onwards and play things cagey. Mostly we got away with it, sometimes we didn't.

Unless you're 3-0 up and cruising then no matter who the manager is there's no sense in it for me.

Eh

"We've been here many times, even as far back as Brendan"

Wasn't having a dig either

 

[Smurph]

Yeah, top end mid table

Fuck me, top end mid table, bottom half, maybe top 10.........

There is 24 teams in the league Smurph!
If we are looking at top, middle or bottom table then let's split into 3.

1-8 Top
9-16 Mid Table
17-24 Bottom

You are looking at it like
Top 10
Mid table 12-13th
11th Scotch Mist

You're a funny one.....bet it would be a good laugh having a pint with you.

9th to 16th isn't mid table

To be fair, I do enjoy a pint, I'm sure we would get on, your posts are bat shit crazy upon times, you do strike me as a thoroughly good human being

That’s how I’ve always thought of the Championship split. Start of the season there’s probably 2/3 of the league who think they could get in the top 8 though!

Our 10 seasons in the Championship probably bear that out - Five top 8 playoff pushing seasons (or better) & five mid table ones.

Despite some horror runs over the last few years we’ve never really been in danger of going down (unlike Stoke who I think have never finished in the top half since we were both relegated)

I think most on here and people in the ground feel we’re capable of getting close to the better half of those seasons but there’s lots of unknowns in the playing squad atm.

Normally get a decent feel of things after 10 games but with the turnover of players it may be Christmas until we really know what this squad is capable of.

What was very noticeable today over Wednesday. When we had a throw in especially with Tymon there was no movement for the ball, Did nobody want ownership?

Surely by definition it’s exactly the middle of the table

Tbf I guess in football terms you could go for a top 10, mid table (11th-14th) and a bottom 10 - wouldn’t argue with that either.

If so then I think the target should be top 10 but personally wouldn’t be getting the pitch forks out if we ended up in that mid table group of 4

 

[Swanjaxs]

So just to recap, 2200 hours Wednesday night "we're on our way back to the promised land."

1800 hours Saturday night, Sheehan is clueless.

Fantastic stuff on here once again.

Is my definition of mid table.

Just hope we beat Millwall , can you imagine if we don't.

Sack the board

 

[magicdaps10]

Don't worry, we are due something against Millwall.

The last trillion games have ended 1-0 Millwall so the law of averages is that we are due something.

Jenkins out

 

[Colin-swansea]

What are posters aspirations this season - for me I would prefer to cement ourselves in a top ten place, work to continue with our excellent summer recruitment programme and move on from there. Having said that, should we find ourselves challenging for a P/Off place come next season, go for it.

In any other universe you would be right, this is Swansea City after all
