The FA Cup Fourth Round 23/24 | The Official Match Thread | AFC Bournemouth v Swansea City FC | The Vitality Stadium

[Dillwyn the Dog]

Do we want this to be an 8+

Surely then opens up the boards eyes that something needs to be done.
Blame the system but the way some of them are strutting around is an absolute embarrassment.

No Swans fan in their right minds wants an 8-0 defeat. A massive defeat is likely to be the catalyst for a slide down the league and to possible relegation. This performance alone should focus Levein’s mind as I’m sure Coleman has no say in recruitment at all.

 

[Cooperman]

Some of this is on Williams.

Silly play it out from the back tactics, a formation which simply doesn't work for us, and the odd square peg in round hole.

 

[newquay]

Sack Williams if he persists with this back three. Hasn't worked for us since 6 months of Steve Cooper.

Totally concur.

He's trying to be Russell Martin. Sackable offence

 

[Pegojack]

Might as well stick Ogbeta and Kukharevych on to have a look at them, this is going to 8 or 9 nil whoever's in white.

This first half has been one of the hardest watches for me in years and years.

I felt that 4 defensive minded midfielders and a diamond was always going to be asking for trouble as was putting Humphries out on the left when he is a centre half.

Ashby once again feels like he has absolutely no positional sense and is always so far out of position when defensive action is needed its almost a running joke now.

Three of the goals conceded came directly from self inflicted mistakes (4 if you count Wood's absurd lack of control to give away the free kick for the first goal).

Levein wouldn't give a flying fuck if we lost 18-0

 

[sainthelens]

Who with any morsel of sanity left would travel to Leicester?

Rumpole's on at 9, Monny.

. Ah, with the Portia of the chambers. Got to be better than looking at Wood.

Hoping to heck he isn't Martin 2

Has Williams got his own identity? I sure hope he has.

 

[PSumbler]

Anybody fancy a stalk of Paul Watson's strava?

 

[LeonWasTheDogs]

We’ve got 8 defensive players* on the pitch yet look utterly clueless defensively

Not a good start for Williams. We had a better shape under Sheehan.


(*assuming you count Joey as a DM, which he is).

I 'fink' so but it's not looking good right now

 

[monmouth]

Seriously though, we need to find some pride in the second half. Start as if it’s 0-0.

The players having a good game so far tonight are Cabango, Darling, Key, Tymon and Paterson.

Walshy's having a blinder
