"This team is building and growing" - Grimes says the Swans are showing progress

There have been moments in the last few months where it is easy to see that progress is being made within the squad but there have also been very obvious times where it doesn't feel like progress is being made at all.When you watch performances such as the one at Sheffield Wednesday where possession was high but the phrase "possession without purpose" came to the front of the mind as the ball was passed often around our backline rather than any form of pushing forward in attempts to score

I'm not seeing a lot of progress, apart from a change in formation and the injection of pace which has faded away in the last few games since the derby.

The challenge is this team will be unrecognisable next season when you consider all the loan and out of contact players we have.

Must say I've been personally impressed with the change in Grimes or the change of my attitude towards him.

There's been a change in Grimes when Fulton isn't alongside him, and even then ( derby aside) he's no skipper.

I agree that he isn't captain material.

Darling should take over IMO, maybe he's still a bit young but still.

He seems to be the most vocal player on the pitch. I want to see a captain scream, shout, cajole team mates, in the referees face. That maybe just my age and slightly out of touch with the times though

Unfortunately until we see a better centre forward, a creative 10 and a better centre half......we can expect to see any real improvements.

Tell you one thing, I would love to be the manager this summer with a bit of deadwood out of contract and move on one or 2.

We will be in a better place and position this summer than we were last summer.....the recruitment needs to be a lot better, saying that, it can't be any worse.

 

[Smurph]

I have zero faith in them getting anything correct this summer. They are great speaking lots of positive buzz words with very little action.

It's all good and well telling us they're working on numerous targets, it's time for more action and a lot less words.

 

[Glyn1]

I don't know if he's being positive or being complacent but it's meaningless when the squad will be split up in the summer.
Full admiration to everyone travelling to Boro for an unimportant game that we'll probably lose.

He does far too much diving, whinging and finger-pointing to be a captain for me.

Grimes been drinking the same bullshit juice as LW.
