Swansea City v Hull City
Saturday September 11th 2021
New named stadium
Kick off 3pm
Match Officials: Keith from Stroud is the man in the middle on Saturday. He will be assisted by Robert Merchant and Sam Lewis, while Peter Wright will be the fourth official.
Keith from Stroud, more than a name, he’s a small town as well
Hull facts, you better believe it
Hull City come to the newly named stadium with a manager called Grant McCann, he was the first ex footballer to walk from Portsmouth to Lowestoft in a bathing costume made from finger nails. The other incredible fact about him is his ability to leap sideways and then pivot like Darren Gough used to do on Masterchef when he won the dancing competition.
Hull is in Humberside and is a very famous small town of people made up of idiots. A local psychiatrist once described them all as suffering from ‘delusions of grandeur’ The most memorable thing that happened there is when Del Boy and Rodney went to Hull and back in the reality TV series only fools and horses. Most of that was filmed in Stenhiusemuir.
This is the Humble bridge, it’s very accommodating. It was stolen from Pembroke Dock
Some people have said this is a must win game for Swansea, but it isn’t at all. It’s a game that the winner wins, not mustly. The last result was a 4-4 draw in Hull when both teams scored four goals each to draw 4-4. The draw meant that both teams may as well just agreed to share a point each and save all the rushing about and shouting. The game was described as exciting and lovely by several football people who watched the 4-4 draw.
Swansea City v Hull City
Games won: 31
Games drawn: 18
Games lost: 29
Swansea City have won more games than Hull who have drawn the same amount of games as Swansea. This is quite a statistic when you consider Hull have lost 31 games but only won 29 games. The 18 games that have been drawn meant nobody won the game and that’s still a record between the two teams today.

Surprised with the lack of ebullience and enthusiasm for this huge game for our new manager, at home at our fortress.
Yet I'm sure we all have our fingers crossed that Rusty has made the very most of the extended break, an unique opportunity to sharpen his toolkit with the most expensively assembled squad since the Swans were relegated. The Board have taken a huge punt into the unknown of League 1 mediocrity and 'Spent more than most others outside the EPL'. Unprecedented stuff. Squeaky bum time for the many who have already painted themselves into a blind corner.
Much to be cheerful about though. Russ has shown how he can listen and learn from his senior players who know how to win games in this league. He's shown how high possession stats alone can be fruitless, and that mixing it up is best for all - most especially his senior players who know how to cut the cloth dynamically, tactically as the match unfolds. Playing smartly in the red zone is what the players know, and is what counts, thankfully.
RM has shown how he listens to the senior players who know when best to make the best Subbing decisions. And most importantly he's shown how he has learnt from his senior players that his biggest gaffe of all in cruelly ditching our talismanic #9, unceremoniously stripping him of the #9 jersey was his very worst man-management cock-up to date. The very best #9 we've had for quite some time. A proper #9 the Club have been pursuing for more than two years.
All of which augurs well, with expectations flying for mauling the tigers and kicking on for the promo push. With such relative significant investment, the fans and owners can expect nothing less.
It's now down to Russy to show us he is continuing to listen and learn, is building upon the rock solid defence we're famous for, and is playing the zippy triangles and progressive front foot winning football he promises.
It's the very least we should expect with two 9's and a dynamic 10. Unprecedented, stuff of dreams.
Exciting times, for all.
4 - 1. (2 apiece for our 2 #9s)

You just can’t let him go can you. Sniping at the new manager when he’s had no pre season (looks like Cooper acted unprofessionally there and despite the uncertainty didn’t carry on working and getting the players fit) the squad has been hit by COVID and our new arrivals either through that or injury haven’t been able to train or play (and let’s not mention the suspended Fulton getting up to speed and Grimes hardly ripping up trees.
You’re a Cooper fan not a Swans fan so you’re about as welcome on this board as a dose of herpes. Please take your negativity to Steve’s new club - if he ever gets one . |  |

Maybe AC is just reacting as a result of what we have seen thus far. Yiu however are merely hoping his cynicism is unfounded.
Right now,to me,Russy is a huge mistake and no improvement on Cooper. I detested Cooper so no acolyte of AC but I respected his position so maybe you should. Try it. Be civil. The club is in our veins .Fact.
Finally, Russy seems already to be an excuse merchant.
Prove me wrong and we are all happy ,or should be. | |

Martin saying what they've been working on in training over the last 2 weeks. SOunds like we will definitely see some improvements. Exciting times.
Really confident after reading this.
""Intensity. Trying to get the guys to understand that everything is connected in and out of possession," said the head coach about his side's efforts on the training ground.
"Everything is built around one thing, and that's intensity. I think they've really got a grasp of it now."
In a bid to fully implement his methods, Martin has even changed the regime surrounding meetings at the club's training base.
He meets with players every day in a bid to reassure them over their roles and what is expected of them. And, most importantly, why they're asked to do certain things.
"We meet every day. The players need to understand why they are doing something and that everything we do is related to the big picture," explained the head coach.
"We are not doing anything to waste time or just to fill time on the training pitch. Everything is important and has a purpose.
"We meet every morning, they do their pre-activation, then straight out on the training pitch and then we meet with guys after — either individually or in their units.
"There is a lot of contact time and even the guys from other clubs have not been used to as much of it. But they are getting used to it now and they are expecting that intensity.
"The team I had in mind is different to the team that will start tomorrow [Hull] because of the way certain guys have trained and the way they have helped others."
The process remains ongoing. | |

Honest answer and free of the lovey dovey drivel being spouted.
Russy is under pressure and rightly so,not just because of results but because of lack of guts and guile. Mistakes are being replicated.
It's a matter of time until people twig.
Hopefully, from tomorrow,we really will see a change.
I truly pray we do | |

I don’t think we will see anything other than an improved performance, even if we lose the next six games RM will still be at the club, that’s a guarantee. It’s time swans fans faced up to the fact as well. This is a long journey.

He is a young manager with a vision. He has signed and inherited some great talent.
All Swans fans wish him well.
He does however need to be careful with what he says and his actions. I know he is relatively new to job but his press conferences are a bit worrying, tendency to blame others, cover his shortfalls.
Also, changing tactics and team shape etc whilst admitting squad not ready for it.
Bit like asking a competent ships captain to fly a plane then admitting I didn't have time to show him or train him in what I wanted. Train wreck. Anymore vehicle anologies are welcome, I am on my bike, hope I floated your boat. | | | |

Well considering this is the first time he's seen them all train together for any extended period, he has probably seen a lot of things that he didn't know before.
He was obviously picking the teem on what he thinks they would be able to do.
Now he has seen them doing it and realised that other players can help the team more.
Not sure what he means by that quote. Maybe he means teamwork, or how they are a team player. | |

Exactly.
And even if we lose the next 6 games, I would still want him at the club.
But only as long as we start seeing a bit of improvement in performances and coherence.
Results are not the be-all and end-all this season. Promotion is not the main aim this year. Staying up is, along with learning and perfecting the manager's ideas and getting back to a passing system. | |

Visions -of Johanna.
That had sad ending too.
Let is not forget it is about the Club not Martin so let us not be pulled into BS soundbite as it is all about what happens on the pitch and thus far it has been awful. | |

Notwithstanding the OP,Hull people are proud of their city and its significant history.
I can think of far more towns down south more worthy of being misrepresented like that. Some would find it funny,many would see it a an insult.
Imagine what day visitors make of Swansea as they drive down the M4,pass ort Talbot,Neath then find a spot on Eaton Rd to park up and walk down the terraced streets to the ground ,then walk into the Railway for a pint and some food. Meanwhile the grey eiderdown in the sky is blocking out any signs of brightness . | |
