Aye and it’s been a real success hasn’t it, have a look at the number of goals we’ve conceded on the transition, wanting a team to play a certain way and having the players capable of it are two different things, I’d love us to play like Real Madrid but that’s not going to happen either.

He's been here two weeks, give him a chance ffs what are you expecting

It has been 2 games under the new manager (one of them the day after he started) and you want a return to the crap football that created the opening for a new manager.

Our players are criminally unfit because of the slow possesion based football and made mistakes when playing that way. We need to try something new and Matos is in in the hot seat and I'm all for him implementing his way (the old way was sure fire relegation-IMO).

We’ve tried to play that way all season or didn’t you listen to Sheehan during his stint as manager , there’s nothing knew in this blokes approach it’s a continuation of how we’ve tried to play all season

Very entertaining match live on ITV at the moment. Half time now, Derby losing 3-0 at home to Leicester and it should have been four as Ayew's superb effort was ruled out for offside. TV replays show the lino was wrong.

Leicester are all over Derby like a rash. Jordan James and Stephy Mavididi have been superb. Will Leicester copy the Swans and collapse like a house of cards in the second half? I think not.

You my friend are a real edder fair play , as I said to the other bloke this is the way we’ve tried to play all season not just the last three week.

When our defensive line has 10x more touches than our wingers under sheehan ( this season )i'd say that it's you that's not been watching and Sheehan would come out and talk drivel every game.

We had a high press at the end of last season and had a great deal of success with it but this season Sheehan reverted back to the insipid football that we all saw and knew it would get him the sack and awfull play and results bore that out.

Galbraith right back?

 

[Swans Jack]

Wow. He actually dropped Key. And Parker on the bench. Brilliant.

 

[Swansea93]

Key out through illness apparently

 

[Swans Jack]

Galbraith right back?

I think so. But good too see Parker on the bench and no key. Matos has mentioned from his first interview how we have to stop crosses and leaving gaps. Key just gave him reason to drop him.

 

[Whaleoilbeefhooked]

This guy wants the high press, but no way can we keep that up for 90+mins.
Two things I don’t want to see today.
Less than 100% for The Shirt, and Fulton starting.

Ahh shit...
