Reply | Swans Scores this Season

Idah was underrated last season despite having a very good scoring record when he played. Getting more love this year and has played well consistently. Vip is a way off his form last year. Trying too hard to score on Saturday again - just shooting from anywhere and needs to relax and play more like he did last season. Stewart - too early to say. I thought he was great when he came on at Millwall, struggled a bit with the ball on Saturday....but was very effective in his pressing and always looked likely to score. He'll improve with game time. |

TBH West Ham fans would moan if they had Fergie, Klopp or Pep in charge. By a distance the most deluded set of morons in English football. Remember they hounded Moyes out.
I hate West Ham and their uber scummy owners and fans |

Reply | Is Jay Fulton undroppable ?
at 11:35 3 Nov 2026
Oh wow - I kinda just assumed everyone knew that. I moved to Scotland for Uni in '89 and Stevie Fulton was upcoming then. Very skillful - was a legend and Hearts and won the League with Celtic too. Unlucky to not win Scotland caps and there was always calls for him to be called up but just like his son - it never happened. From memory he was a fair bit shorter than Jay and mainly played wide midfield/winger. Looked a bit like Melker Widdell when he was younger FWIW |

But this is purely a statistical thing. There can only ever be a certain % of "good" coaches around because results dictate this. It's statistically impossible that we'll all think most managers/coaches are "good" because the same amount of clubs that win games, lose games. For a football club, you simply need to have an above average coach and you'll likely do well. I realise this is simplistic but it ain't rocket science. |

at 01:44 18 Sep 2025
Agreed. No idea whether his attitude is different but his sharpness has dramatically increased and confidence is a wonderful thing. But his confidence is improved because he himself is just simply playing far better.......he'll be keeping his starting place for the forseeable unless Sheehan has a brain fart. |

You accused him for the same reasons many of us did: he just didn't show ,much of this last season. Suddenly he looks a yard sharper in thought and deed and is starting to look more McBurnie than Yates in and around the final 3rd. Most imp[roved player this season so far by a distance. |

Reply | Montague went on holiday for the last week of the window
at 17:27 12 Sep 2025
Hoping that there was a clash with Sheehan and not that he was wrongly forced out by TG and AW. Very strange time to go on holiday. Idah is definitely a risky signing. But if it comes off the club will look like geniuses. If not and he taurns into the next Borja or Yates or other failures then we've spent millions on a dud. Watched him for Ireland a bit - 50/50. We'll see, |

Worrying. I live in Bristol and am friendly with some pretty knowledgable Rovers fans who have told me that this sounds very much like Gorringe's character. When I praised him for his role in this transfer window.....they replied - "sit tight and watch; he gets bored!" and "he's a snake."
Of course Rovers are in a mess period and no one was entirely blaming TG but.... |

Reply | Samuels Smith loan from Strasbourg
at 12:37 3 Sep 2025
It is a bit odd but Boehly owns both clubs so God knows - but I've read it's because Strasbourg's existing LB unexpectedly signed a new deal and then they also bought Chilwell off Chelsea meaning ISS was not gonna get in their team. So Chelsea exercised their buy back option on deadline day and then immediately loaned hin to us. Or as my mate described it - "perhaps they sold him to Chelsea Ladies or even their Hotel team....anything to rig their FFP figures....:)" |

Reply | How do you assess your feelings towards the club and its majority owners
at 12:32 3 Sep 2025
Much more positive. I live in Bristol. I have stopped going regularly since about 2019 (for various reasons) and have only been 5 or 6 times since the pandemic plus the odd away game. Kaplan and Levein killed part of my interest in going. But the approach of the new owners plus Sheehan's ability has restored my faith so I will look to come down more often. I never fully trusted/believed in Williams or Martin....their rigidity and stubborness frustrated the hell out of me. To me, Sheehan is going to be a very good coach and talks a lot of sense.
Potter wasted our best Championship squad post relegation and Cooper did very well to drag us back into contention. Our squad now looks strong but much of it is potential so we will have to wait and see. Widdell has struggled a bit; I don't rate Eom and our lack of goals has been a problem for > 2yrs now. Idah can definitely help us and Burgess has been great already. Our midfield now looks extremely strong and I like Innoussa. Unlike many I have always rated Ronald....he's scored 4 in his last 6....still people moan about him- strange.
Folks - this League is there for the taking. It truly is. This is the best opportunity , post relegation, for a club to hit their straps and get automatic promotion. Cov, Boro, maybe WBA.....and the relegated sides are bound to improve. Bristol City fancy their chances too. But why not us?! I'd like to think we must have a half decent chance of Top 2 although I'd be pleased enough with Top 6. Considering we managed 11th last season with an inferior squad.......... |

Fair point but the biggest reason this is down is simply that the numbers in the stadium are well down so no way is revenue from catering going to be maintained. Just simple economics. Demand and supply |

I'd never seen anything in him at all til the Blackburn game except that he can whack a ball. But he's looking sharper, stronger and more confident. Worth persevering with, though. |

Reply | Williams out
at 08:22 18 Dec 2024
As someone who now rarely attends, disillusioned as I am by the Yanks ownership, I agree with you here: I think Williams is doing better than expected giving the dearth of attacking talent available. If he finishes top half he'll have done well this season so not interested in judging him further til next season.
Martin Russell caused untold damage to this club....it's just that people gave him a free pass. |

at 12:37 7 Dec 2024
To be fair , Pep has managed for about 18yrs now and has no idea how to organise a defence (as we've seen this season). However, Martin Russell doesn't have the players to bail him out and as OHG said, Manning and Wood in the Prem ain't gonna keep a team up. |

Good post spoiled by a ridiculous last point. Charles, Latchford, Waddle, McCarthy, Thomas, Trundle, Scotland, Graham, Bony , Llorente, McBurnie, Piroe and so on - unloved?? Give over. |

Yep, you're quite right. And the Whittaker sale is gonna prove more costly than that I suspect. For balance, of course, they have made money from good appointments and good player acquisitions at times - Potter, Martin etc and Downes, Lowe , Piroe, etc. But overall, in theior terms (financial) they've turned a £120m asset into one worth a 1/5 of that, at best. |

at 15:41 25 Jan 2024
Much as I dislike our American owners, this isn't really a good or necessary time for us to be trading players. We aren't going anywhere this season barring some kind of freak set of results. I'd rather see us identify who/what we need for the summer and then back Williams to bring in said players and dispense of who he doesn't want/need. |

This is a kind assessment. But to an outsider, it's probably a balanced assessment. Where they "failed" undoubtedly was in a) failing to keep us in the Prem and b) getting us back up within the parachute payment window. So, effectively, they created the current difficult situation. Which is why those of us in the know criticise them and would prefer them to disappear. Their stewardship of DC United has been pretty much a disaster on the field so bringing that experience into the argument hardly helps them.
Levein joined in July 2012. At that point they were 3 time U.S. League champions and rarely been outside the Top 10 sides in the States. Since 2012 when they finished 3rd they finished 3rd again in 2014 but since have disappereared without trace and last 3 years have finished 24th, 16th and 28th. Does this sound like a "good" record? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ |
