"Defensively Swansea have really struggled in this first half"

Well no shit when we are playing four full backs and no centre halves. Add to that the one right back playing in right back is usually wandering in midfield under instructions
 
I think it just highlights the gulf between the champ and the premier league.
I know Soton are dreadful in the top flight but they are miles ahead of us.
 
The worst team in Prem history haven't got out of first gear yet.
And we haven't had a shot in the vicinity of the target.
 
What on earth is the point of this?
We are rotating players when we are mid table nonentities. Won’t go up. Won’t go down.

Get some centre backs on, And this goalkeeper is currently making Fisher look like Neville Southall.

The lack of effort from Peart Harris and Grimes is an absolute joke. The others are trying a little bit they’re just crap.

The only possible reason for this is to demonstrate how dreadful we are once we replace two or three players. To encourage our new ‘billionaire’ owners to spend a tiny amount of money.

It’s not good enough that fans have spent a fortune travelling for this and we aren’t even doing the best we possibly can.

Problem is we haven't included a single centre back amongst the subs.
Tjoe-A-On is the only defender amongst the subs

We've only got 1 defender on the bench.
 
If this is the style of play after over a year of Luke Williams imagine how good we'll be after another year
 
Seriously but what does Grimes bring to the table these days?

So frustrating.
Exactly right. He is having yet another shocker. When did he last actually tackle anyone. And he’s never where he should be (see the second goal). The deep midfielder should be in the middle challenging not standing lazily watching them score.
