THOMAS BRAMALL
Thomas loves a card. 21 🟨 in his first 10 games. The EFL generally give him league one or two games so this is a step up.
Assisted by : Richard Wild and Steven Meredith
Fourth Official : Robert Lewis
Preston is famous for many things, the first KFC, the first Motorway, the word ‘teetotal’ comes from Preston, which I as your host totally agree with. It’s also a fact that the highest amount of bellends in the country come from Preston, oh, but think, yes bellends are made in Preston, the very ends of bells in church spires ( or lofts ) that make the noise that bloody annoy you on Sundays. That’s why they have a church with the tallest spire in England, to fit all the bellends in.
The home ends at Preston are also full of bellends.
 Six players unavailable for Swansea City’s away clash at PNE 27th Aug 2021 08:00Swansea City travel to Lancashire today with a number of players unavailable for selection. Kyle Joseph won’t play this weekend as he is in Gloucestershire finalising his loan to Cheltenham Town. Korey Smith and Liam Walsh are also still out, but the good news is Connor Roberts is around two weeks away from upping his training regime. Swans fans could see him back by mid to late September.  0
On the day tickets will be available to purchase from the away ticket office at Deepdale.
The away ticket office is located at the Bill Shankly Kop, adjacent to the away turnstiles.

 Russell Martin agrees entirely, the swans were shockingly bad ! 28th Aug 2021 20:15Pulling no punches whatsoever Swansea City manager Russell Martin stated post match his team just didn’t compete anywhere on the pitch. A comprehensive display by Preston North End including pace and pressing in the right areas put paid to any thoughts of a swans victory after an entertaining first fifteen minutes. 0
Nothing to follow.

Which of course is highly immature and not particularly intelligent management.
Grimes and Fulton has been our backbone midfield for quite some time, and yet as you say even this combination is misfiring under Martine, most especially their disconnect with the backline - something which has been our core strength the past two seasons. Grimes our first outlet, then Fulton thru to Ayew at phase 2 has worked brilliantly. Gone with the bathwater, it seems.
Why on earth change the things if they ain't broken. ? Worrying times.

Worrying because we could have a manager whose ego outstrips his ability |  |

They don’t have a disconnect with the backline. They are practically part of the backline, which is concerning. They have a disconnect with the attacking midfielders (if you count Cullen as that) and widemen because they are playing so deep.
Things were broken. The Cooper way wouldn’t have worked without Ayew. Maybe for a game or two, but not for a season. Guehi was a big part of it too.
I don’t know why he’s changed it so radically before bringing more players suited to his style in though. My only guess it’s that it’s going to be a couple of players in key positions and most of the current first team will still be playing. Possibly getting them used to his style early on rather than after the window, when we’ve hopefully got more players suited to it? | | | |

We were lumping it into channels last season let's not pretend a Grimes/Fulton midfield was dominating the ball and playing back to front effectively week in week out.
Post-match Martin blames tiredness, 7 games in 21 days for a squad that mostly hasn't had a preseason for various reasons. Two weeks to work with the vast majority of his first team now (Cooper, Manning... is Lowe away with Jamaica?), if it's as bad next game we can properly get the knives out. | | | |

Nobody's getting the knives out as we all want to get behind a winning formula. Some of us will challenge irrational decision making. Most especially irrational decision making under pressure which Martine has struggled with. Selection, subbing and tactical nous is acutely lacking .
No signs, whatsoever of a winning formula. Plenty of signs of a losing, slick script.
Which of course is highly frustrating when we're so accustomed to winning, pragmatic football.

Well,if Russy is not angered by that nonshow nor apologising for the away fans then he should knob off then.
It was disgusting and nowt to do with
Covid
Injuries
Sickness
It was lack of effort,which was obviou and a pitiful attempt to play "pretty" football.
Take some advice Russy. You need speed to play your system and yet you know off Joseph -who is fast and Whittaker -who can score. Bad decisions masked by BS .
At least Cooper was banal .This fella looks more dangerous and more deluded.. | |

Last week Martin said that they only got out on the grass together once.
Up until now, they have spent mot of their time in the video room and analysis suite learning. Covid at the club stopped all that last week.
1 training session.
RM been here 5 minutes and everything has been disrupted.
Injuries, covid, loads of games. He isn't getting the time he needs with the players.
Hopefully he can get a good couple of weeks, considering we have no internationals away. |  |

He's been here long enough to know his combinations. The backline (which he's sorted apparently, god forbid) is a million knots from what we've had under pragmatic, successful management.
Award winning backline, kicked into touch by Maverick Martine. Another headline.
All of the excuses you list are manageable with a cogent, intelligent strategy and game plan. None of which has ensued. Worrying times under such a rookie maverick.

Friend.
Im not having that.
Today saw lack of Desire
Preston,trust me,were all over us and hounded us. Its why "possession" football as he sees it is warlocks. We possess it then give it away and then the opponent scores.
We are so easy to play against
Any team can see our keeper strokes it to full backs who are not Real Madrid standard and then give the ball away.
We have a midfield that sees a silent captain in Grimes ,a player who passes backwards even when a forward pass is on. Their keeper had an easy day. He could have been served afternoon tea .
No Swans players seemed to be as sweaty as us in the sunshine . | |

Aye, but they aren't playing Russy's football yet. He hasn't had time to even get started.
With games Saturday/Tuesday, they only get to train together on the grass for one day. How the heck are they meant to know what they're doing yet? | |

And they wont play Russy football as they are not good enough which is why this guy is a BStter.
What is good ,pray,about stroking the ball arouns at the back then giving it to the opposition,literally.
The first 2 goals were gifts that were buried.If we had had such gifts ,we'd be looking to stroke it backwards or sideways
Sadly,Piroe looks a real striker who is utterly wasted. | |

So we have fans who have written him off, ones who are still mentioning Coopers name.
5 games into the league season and why is Cooper not here serving his final 12 months of his contract!? Far to early and he wanted out with the parachute payments, Ayew, Guehi and Hourihane gone.
This is the reality of it all. |  |

This time, last two seasons this thread would be inundated with the Manager-out brigade. Reams and reams of blather.
This term, the same feeble sheeple are in hiding - after yet another humiliating drubbing.
Speaks volumes for the sheeple- you know who you are. Not even a whisper from the likes of……the usual pathetics. How very telling.

We are way too open when we in attack and lose ball everytime the opposition come forward they look like scoring 3 at back with wing backs ain't the answer in possession based football its too pedestrianised and leaves us exposed when ball breaks down | | | |

This "furthest men forward" wingbacks routine isn't working I agree. If they dropped off 15/20 yards to provide an option and actually stretch the pitch then we might have more joy.
Connor coming back should be a big help. Someone who can actually play a one-two and make an intelligent run into the box. | | | |

Why can’t people mention Coopers name?
People often talk about previous managers as there are often great lessons to be learned. I still talk about Sousa and that was nearly 15 years ago.
I’m afraid finishing high in the league is fresh in peoples mind and there will always be a thought about how we could do if we went about things in a sensible manner.
He isn’t Voldermort, he who should not be named. |  |

He is, but we also need to see some common sense management. Bradley was only here 12 weeks after he displayed some haphazard game plans.
It’s not a set and forget job. This needs continuous monitoring so we don’t get sucked into a hole we find hard to get out of.
Many of our managers have changed our style, none (Bradley apart) have had such an underwhelming start to Swansea life. | |

He’s got two weeks with a nearly full squad now, plus he’s presumably going to bring a couple in by Tuesday.
If we’re still getting ripped apart by average teams in September, I’ll start to share your concerns. | | | |

Neither were failures.
They were excellent successes, especially the second one in which we got 20m off the back of it. | |
