Millwall will come bowling in to Swansea with their sights firmly set on Rossi’s chip bar renowned internationally for its chips. In recent times their bowling in to towns has caused a few headaches, on Saturday for example they had a right old do with supporters of WBA. There was lots of dancing, the odd punch and a bloke at one point had a bit of a kip on the floor.
Millwall fans come bowling in to another town yet again. Utter mayhem
The game will be played at he newly named stadium also known as the ‘ Used to be called the Liberty stadium’ in Swansea. A chap called Martin’s Organ is currently in the building and it is expected this week he will have some lovely new signs put up if he gets a few hours off. Which is nice.
Earliest news that’s described as latest news
 Rhys Williams :The ability of this player is far beyond the Championship 15th Sep 2021 12:49Liverpool loanee Rhys Williams has already gained the respect of Swansea City manager Russell Martin and his new team mates at the swans. On top of that it’s clear the Harry Wilson mistake the Anfield club made last season by loaning him to Cardiff when better options were available has been learned.  0
 Ben Hamer wants to be Swansea City number one 15th Sep 2021 15:28It did come as a bit of a surprise on Saturday when Ben Hamer was named in the starting eleven against Hull City. What was more of a surprise was that Steven Benda who had been given the jersey for the first five league games wasn’t given more opportunity to develop within the new Russell Martin ‘total football’ philosophy. 0

Half Time stats
That’s it folks
 No goals for 180 minutes but the signs in the second half are clearly there 15th Sep 2021 22:26Russell Martin will have to navigate an away game at Luton and then a league cup away tie against Brighton before he again tries for his first home win at the swansea.com stadium. Not for another ten days when Huddersfield are the visitors will the ‘no home wins’ mantra be repeated. So be it. 0

He had one of the best strikers in the league on £3.5m, Ayew was guaranteed goals at this level.
Everyone before the season knew this one was a massive rebuild, Cooper knew that himself, parachute payments completely gone, Ayew no longer, Lowe and Roberts sold for small amounts who were all very good players at this level.
I don't want to just avoid relegation, I want comfortable mid table maybe with a sniff of play offs, it's six games in, calm down. The Cooper lovers on here were always going to jump on a poor start, that's fine, I'm willing to give it a bit more than 6 games personally. |
so losing Mcburnie and James doesnt compare? | |

All a bit "meh" so far. Need to work out a way to get Piroe and Obafemi in the same team sooner rather than later. |  |
| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |

I'm not one to moan usually, but is it me or was that so boring? No urgency about us. I hope there's a sea change second half. |  | | |

We almost have too much possession, it means the opposition rarely gets caught out of position.
Very hard to break teams down when you have so much possession, but at the same time move the ball so slowly. Because they set up to defend you.
It’s very predictable and easy to defend against. | |

Too many defensively minded players for my liking. Too quick to turn back and play a languid pass. At some point I hope RM will get around to coaching us to play in the Red zone.
Best player in this system so far is Naughton, he's loving it.
We need to see MO to spice it up with his pace, and LW to add some craft and maybe some zip. Downes for all his nice touches is a spare part. Swap him for LW and let Grimesy orchestrate from deep pivot.
70% possession and ZERO shots on goal. This has to improve or the boos in the stadium could be an issue.
Make the changes, 2-0.

Yep, with 70% possession you really shouldn’t be hoping for a set piece or a penalty, but here I am doing it again.
I really don’t want to waste opportunities for points against the likes of Hull or Millwall at home, it may not end up being important if things turn… but if they don’t, these are the games that you look back on and realise it’s what killed you.
We cannot come out second half and do the same, he has to change the dynamic. | |

Liverpool have passed the air out of the ball as well, although the did have the lead, but for all Liverpool's possession they're 2-1 down now after Milan score twice in just under 2 minutes, so its not unique to Swans.
Its football and anything can happen, live sport can't beat it.  |  | | |

No meltdown, just the same continuous conversations of people stating the obvious that what we are seeing isn’t good enough and then others telling them they are wrong and things are going to be spectacular.
Reminds me of an atheist vs a religious conversation. One comes at it from a perspective of what he knows to be true… the other comes at it from what he hopes will be true.
It has no natural conclusion. | |

Absolutely, sometimes 'meltdowns' are needed. I'm using it as a synonym for 'entertainment'.  | |
