I think it’s fair to say I’m not a Fulton advocate these days (I have been, in days gone by), but if he’d put in the recent standard of performances like Galbraith (who certainly has potential but currently way over hyped on here) or Franco, or Cullen, or Ronald, he’d be absolutely slaughtered.

Stamenic, I think has something about him, but I’m not sure where that can be best used, or if it will be enough.

This next few weeks could be pretty ropey from what I saw today.

I’ve always assumed the last player on the team sheet should be Fulton but honestly I’m thinking we should give him a go.

I like Stamenic. He shows glimpses of real quality. He’s in the wrong position.

Galbraith, I’m not as sold as most are on here tbh. He’s very very neat and tidy, technically very good but doesn’t actually create anything very much. And doesn’t drive the team forward.

I’m hoping a different coach will get more from him as at the moment, to me, he’s just a bit too similar to players like Tom Carroll, or that boy we had from Chelsea. Josh Mc something.

I think Galbraith needs better options from his wide men, which is where I think we are really poor (not centrally). Also with a true no10 in there as well his options would increase and his neat and tidiness should have more impact.

 

[Londonlisa2001]

Sorry Lisa, but I wouldn't put O'Leary in charge of an under 8's team. He shouldn't be anywhere near the first team. I hate the term, but I hope the owners are ruthless in getting these people out of the club. I couldn't believe that Fulton made it onto the field in the 2nd half. Widell sitting on the bench must be wondering why he signed for us. Stamenic had a shocker, for me Widell is not a winger and should have replaced him.

No, I understand your point entirely, and I agree that it’s time up. I just think today he would have just cared more than O’Dea did.

Stamenic had his poorest game today (understandably). Widell I have no idea where he is best suited. Not out wide certainly.

Let’s hope against hope the new people can find a combination that isn’t utterly outclassed by teams that are, less be honest, no world beaters apart from when they play us.

Yes, Tom Carroll is right on the money. McEachran was the other punter (…and Rosie don’t care) but I don’t remember him doing anything at all..

Whether he's an option or not,we are missing true experience on the pitch

That’s it, McEachran. Neat, tidy, technical, doesn’t do much when you actually look at it.

 

[Londonlisa2001]

Agreed.

True I'll give him a bit longer as he does have something about him but the make up of the team needs to change for him to develop

Canas, Pozuelo, Mesa….. we’ve had plenty.

 

[Londonlisa2001]

Canas, Pozuelo, Mesa….. we’ve had plenty.

To be honest, Canas reminds me more of Franco.

 

[Londonlisa2001]

True I'll give him a bit longer as he does have something about him but the make up of the team needs to change for him to develop

Agree with that.

 

[jack123]

Looking at the stats we have improved but poor finishing and gifting goals like we did through awful defending will see us slide further down

The stats for this game, are so deceiving it’s quite remarkable, If I do a footy bet, I usually take a glimpse at previous stats, but watching this game and what the stats show, the stats really flatter the Swans, which was a diabolical performance! Ah well, hopefully things will improve.

 

[Malaga]

Can only describe that performance as feeble, Vítor has his work cut out, its going to be a bumpy few weeks

 

[Swanjaxs]

So when did Galbraith morph into Matt Grimes then...

 

[Swans Jack]

What a cowardly job by Darren O’dreadful - chose not to try and win the game because he didn’t want to embarrass his mate Sheehan. Get out of our club you coward.

As others reported on here. He didn't go over to the crowd at the end. If that's the case glad he is gone. I'm looking for excuses, but clearly the players knew he was off and unhappy. And you can see that in tactics. O Dea for me and I'll eat my words on this has done more damage than good to this club.
