It was crap under Holden, absolutely pathetic now. As frustrating as it can be at the moment, it's definitely better than it was under Holden. For the vast majority of our time under Holden we weren't even remotely competitive in games. Quote Link to comment

You don’t think he was looking for any old opportunity to sack Cotts? Because he’d already identified his friend to take over. LJ was chosen miles before Cotts was sacked. He was a dead man walking. 4 Quote Link to comment

ScottishRed Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 28 minutes ago, Numero Uno said: No, it’s basic decision making. Do you coach the team to lump the ball aimlessly forward just in case a calamitous goal like that is conceded? Of course you don’t. You rely on pro footballers to be able to make decisions that aren’t ******* downright stupidity. You are 100% correct. You can have a philosophy as a manager to play out from the back and you can coach that every single day but there will always be times in a game when it is not the right thing to do - the goal was one of those times. We are talking about professional football players here who must know when the time is right and equally,when it isn’t. No way can this be layed at the coaching staffs door, it is utter incompetence from players who are paid to play football. If I was NP I would be losing with them. 7 1 Quote Link to comment

If the teams swapped shirts you’d say aside from the goal they’ve gifted us, weve played some pretty stuff but haven’t carried any goal threat at all. Agree - had it not been for the blatant error at the back I don't think they would have found an avenue and lack creativity in the final third. Not over yet....but very close if we cannot respond. 1 Quote Link to comment
Bedred31 Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 Just when it seemed that today could get no worse, looked up from my phone to see LJ on Sky saying ‘we just want to play to the philosophy and execute it properly’. 4 Quote Link to comment

How come we are only losing 0-1 and that was down to us. Lets just go for it this half. We wont lose any points today. COYRs. That’s Swansea’s problem, lots of pretty stuff but **** all threat up front. We created their best chance for them Quote Link to comment

You can’t blame the manager because players can’t pass the ball 5 yards . Even Alex Scott is giving the ball away constantly . I would love to be in that changing room at half time . Gutless bastards the lot of them Whatever it is the tactics,the players you can't say you are happy with style of play we are producing. I wouldn't call it lazy typical fan shite just an opinion. Name-calling clearly shows your intelligence. Quote Link to comment

Numero Uno Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 It really is up to Nige and the players to give the fans something to get behind second half. Don’t blame the punters, don’t be ******* passive AGAIN, show some bastard bollocks and get amongst them. Quote Link to comment
sh1t_ref_again Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 3 minutes ago, Jerseybean said: Dreadful so far from us we’ve hardly had the ball and on the rare occasion we have we pass straight to one of their players. Gifted them a goal + Conway gone off injured. We have essentially been given a footballing lesson by a team who create space, options and overloads for fun, retain the ball and make quick/correct decisions, which in essence is the polar opposite to us! Our inability to make a tackle has also been highlighted and with increasing desperation we have started to lunge in KN picking up a yellow for his foul. The BBC says we’ve had 41% of the ball, however, it doesn’t feel like that to me! We have been chasing shadows for most of the half. We really have looked a very poor side in the opening half. Only positives I can offer are it’s only 1-0 and Scott looks like he wants something from this game - which sadly may be a move elsewhere. Swansea's average possession this season is 64%, so we are not the only team to struggle 1 Quote Link to comment

So this is the key question for me. Is that because their players are better than ours;is it because our confidence at home is low, or is it that Swansea are being coached better than our side? Probably a combo of all three but I do feel we lack a cohesive style of play that points toward the coaching as at least a contributing factor. NP says he isn't a coach but he chose the coaches and I am not convinced they are delivering. Quote Link to comment

old_eastender Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 Surely NP has to bring on another in m/f. Would not surprise me to see AW moved to RWB, Tanner off, and Williams on, pushing AS forward. Quote Link to comment

Fordy62 Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 There have been a couple of occasions on which we’ve had the chance to play the ball quickly through to the two up to but instead decided to put our foot on it. Then invariably guess where the ball ends up… 1 Quote Link to comment

Stop making excuses for a manager who after two years produce's a football team who are strangers, who seem incapable of passing to each other. He has done a great job in sorting out some aspects of our problems, but tactically he is an anachronism who needs to step aside for someone who can coach and organise a team. He is officially now past his sell by date IMO. Quote Link to comment
