Noticed there were times in the Derby game that they swapped position in open play to presumably counter the aerial threat from crosses, I know it could happen as play develops but it seemed as if it had been planned, don't know if they have done it before? |  | | |  |

Good spot, our more in depth swans watchers will no doubt respond to this 👠|  |

Good point.
I have to say I think you are a good sensible poster who has added quality to this site. |  |

Not to be a smart ass but I did suggest this a while back. I said that Naughton coud stay in the middle when we have possession but when we lose the ball he could switch with Cabango to defend to high ball. It was after Mitrovic ripped Naughts a new one. | | | |

Looks like Martin spotted your post and putting into actionðŸ‘although given Naughton's age can he cope with fast tricky wingers, if the support around him yes if not he might struggle, even with his Premiership experience/quality. | | | |

Naughton has looked after himself quite well and lets be honest, in that Fulham game their wide players ripped Ben a new one too.
I like to think Martin takes my advice on board   | | | |

They did, but as much to do with Naughton moving forward and Cabango drifting in to cover. Instead of Naughton going back central and Cabango moving wider Naughton moves wider meaning only one position has to be rearranged.
Fulton also dropped into the back line more than Downes especially when Naughton or Cabango moved forward.
In the the three games last week the fluidity was was obvious. Martin seems to have got the players over the stand still and wait approach. Midfield especially kept moving and didn’t stop to admire passes. |  |

I've got to admit, I did get annoyed by player lack of movement at times. There were spaces t move forward into but they were wasted and then players oved backwards into spaces.
Where Martin was 100% was fitness, to play his way everybody needs to be extremely fit, have good stamina and awareness as well as being brave enough to do the one touch passes that our style demands.
I really didn't think we'd get there and I may have jumped a bit early with criticism but time will tell there. He still needs to sign good enough players in the summer and that still depends upon our owners. | | | |

Wasn't Ben playing out of his best position on the left in that game, I may be wrong about that though. Ben got isolated against Forest out on the left and got ripped as you put it,
so is it a case of not letting players get isolated.
Careful you may be on the touchline with Martin soon👬 | | | |

There has been forum talk of Nitcham not being match fit for 90 mins. He has been at the club for 8 months generally un injured and is only 25. What is going on here?
Is it a lack of application or just a case of a lack of athleticism? |  |

He's been a disappointment for me for me honest, bags of ability but seems lacking in application. I think his languid style doesn't help the perception to be fair. |  | | |
