THIS FIXTURE HAS NOW SOLD OUT
The Cardiff story started a generation ahead of the swans. However come the late 1990’s the tables turned somewhat and honours got very even. It really doesn’t matter regards your thoughts on this part of the derby rivalry, it happened, and it’s a part of the history of this fixture.
The valleys were predominantly a Cardiff hot bed in the late 70’s, then with the success of the swans in 1980 onwards it became a split between the cultures of the day, skinheads and punks mainly. It made gigs that much more interesting.
 Swansea v Cardiff : A history of real hate ! 12th Oct 2021 11:00It’s fierce, it’s passionate, it’s heated and it comes with a history unrivalled by many other derby games in English football.

Seeing as we're apparently 'not their main rivals', it's bizarre that they have to stoop to such depths |
It’s hard to judge who’s their main rival really as they can’t sell out their allocation either against us or Brizzle City. |  |

Have to give a shout out to Jake Bidwell - so pleased he scored yesterday. I hope we can play more to his strengths as he’s been so good for a free transfer | |

I'm sure I heard pre match the scum singing "gas a jack" so nothing surprises me . Never mind Swansea bay, Brownie could drown a few with the amount of spittle emanating from his gob . |
They did, was in the ground early and they did it a few times prior to kick off. Not really a credit to their club, but not surprised either. |  | | |

Spot on sir, especially your summing up, " a work in progress" yet some refuse to see it. |
Nothing to do with “seeing it”, everything is a work in progress.
Saying it’s a work in progress doesn’t excuse mediocrity, otherwise everyone can say it. Bob Bradley I’m sure also thought it was a work in progress… however you have to be getting the results and performances along the way.
We haven’t been, and the vast majority of the criticism is entirely in keeping with that - as is the praise. |  |

You were quick to criticise after every game, I preferred to see the mammoth task Martin had changing the entire football philosophy of the side and was looking for chinks of light. I pay my money and I honestly enjoyed the football more and that's not a crime. Some of RM 's sound bytes after games didn't help him as they were clearly rubbish, but in general the progress is looking good for the medium to long term.
If we can keep our current regular 14 or 15 players and add a little bit more quality in January there's no reason why we can't go on a run. My concern is if JP gets injured, banned or loses form, as I don't really see another player in the squad remotely capable of doing what he does. | | | |

I’m quick to review games, whether that is praise or criticism depends on how the team has performed. As it should be of course.
This season we find ourselves in 17th which suggests there has been far more occasions where criticism is warranted than praise.
Looking for chinks of light is great, but it’s not a critique of what has been - it’s a critique based on hope. That means any comments aren’t based on accuracy but a version of a future you “think”, “may” come.
If we put in a terrible performance against WBA and get absolutely hammered due to pointless short passing again, I will again be first in line to state how awful it was. Likewise if we put in another display like Cardiff I will be doing my best to convey how excellent it was.
As you know, I don’t buy the excuses we have had so far and I don’t buy the “he’s changing the whole football philosophy”. Who is he changing it for? These are new players who were playing a similar way anyway. It may be a big change to you as a fan, but you aren’t part of the playing equation.
Every single manager comes in and put his own stamp on things and many change the way the game is played completely. It’s not a unique task to Russell and can’t stand the continued “time” and “it’ll come” stuff. Ask MK dons, they were waiting 18 months and it never arrived.
Football is a short to medium term game. It’s unlikely Russ will be our manager in 2 years time for whatever reason that will be, also unlikely we will have the same crop of players - so I have no interest in long term goals like that. It’s a fallacy.
Any manager worth his salt can change a style and pick up results along the way as we have shown ever since I have started supporting Swansea, and as Cooper is showing at Forest under harder circumstances (no pre season, side bottom of the league, changing the style mid season, no transfer window and zero of his own players).
This game has been a long time coming, but it’s far too early to be bringing out the party poppers, we need to see how frequent we can get such results and performances together. So far it’s 1 in 13 games, that’s not good enough as a whole.
We need to push on as a club now, that’s the real challenge. | |

No-one is bringing out the party poppers, CF were rubbish, however the long term aim should be a succession of managers with the same footballing philosophy. Martin had no pre season, zero, zilch. The players were not fit enough to play the football he wanted, so it was always going to take time. You didn't cut him any slack and didn't seem to recognise the size of the challenge he faced. RM is very unlikely to be here in 2 years time as you say , but hopefully someone with the same ethos replaces him. Am I enjoying this season, yes I am, because even if we fail, its still trying to do things the right way. As for WBA, I'd bite your hand off for a point right now. | | | |

That’s fine too, but those managers along the way need to be getting regular results. If every manager along the way takes 2 years to pick up respectable results before leaving then we won’t get anywhere.
I don’t buy the pre season thing. Managers come in with no pre season often, it’s not unique. I also don’t buy “the size of the challenge” excuse. Where is this difficulty? He’s brought his own players in to a side that has been operating at the top end of the league for the last few seasons as a base.
There is no slack to be had, he is treated by me the same as every other manager we have had. You come in, put your stamp on things and you get results. If you can do that then great, if you can’t then decisions need to be made.
It’s still unclear where we are with that. Results came and went at MK Dons too and they didn’t finish in the top half once under him. So if he is to last then these performances need to happen often as do the results. I won’t be cutting anyone any “give him 4 transfer windows” slack, nobody. I think it’s a nonsensical notion.
The bar has been set extremely low this season, needlessly low - and it’s sad to see how quickly fans accept mediocrity. I have not enjoyed this season at all, in fact I have found it awful, one of the worst for a very long time.
The last game however was extremely enjoyable. But as I have said before that doesn’t change what went before it, if Martin is to be a success here then he needs to build on that and not regress. These performances now we know we are capable of, should be coming more often than not. Not sure how anyone can argue otherwise anymore.
I’d also take a point against WBA. | |

So there is no allowance for no pre season and adopting a completely new approach? okay no problem, that's your prerogative, however its something I completely disagree with. Anything worth building takes time, I've enjoyed this season so far (and yes I do take on board it maybe because we are back in the stadium). I genuinely couldn't deal with another season of Cooperball even though he was remarkably successful. I don't buy into managers, I buy into their philosophy. We are taking a big step back so far this season (results wise) in order to move forward. | | | |

What kind of allowance are you looking for? We are a quarter of a season in, that’s more than enough time in football. Bob Bradley had less and I’m sure you weren’t asking for more time for him to show his ideas, weren’t saying he didn’t have a pre season, didn’t have a transfer window etc etc were you?
A new approach is what happens when all managers come in. Cooper had a new approach when he came, Potter had a new approach when he came - both managers managed to do that while picking up acceptable results and performances along the way.
I can’t stand the “time” view point. As I said, it’s a fallacy. Tell me one manager we have had that has needed all this time to implement their style (none of them did before you bother to check). Even Martinez who probably had the biggest change to implement considering he had very little money to do so managed it almost immediately.
I buy into success, I want the club to the best it can be. So I criticise when it’s deserved and I praise when it’s deserved, as it should be. I won’t ever be convinced that long periods of mediocrity should be excused in exchange for hope. [Post edited 19 Oct 2021 5:33]

Martinez had a pre-season. Not sure why you keep referencing Bob Bradley. Success is relative, that's why I find it amusing when I see Arsenal or Man U supporters complaining about lack of success.
No worries, we're never going to agree. I enjoy my afternoon out and that's priceless to me. | | | |

Far too much importance is put on this “no pre season” stuff. Cooper didn’t have a pre season going to Forest, he’s won 3 of 4 and drawing the other. Completely changed their style without any of his own players.
Bob Bradley didn’t have a pre season either, yet the fans and club correctly critiqued him, he only lasted 11 games. So the comparison is very valid.
Success is relative, but being 19th and winning 2 of our last 12 league games isn’t success in anyone’s book, if it is then some views on football may need some recalibration.
Not sure what we are disagreeing about really.
Cardiff game was excellent, before that it was awful… surely that’s everyone’s view? Some think the awfulness was acceptable because “we didn’t have a pre season”, others think that excuse is silly… especially when Xmas trees and decorations are starting to form in shops, that excuse maybe was valid up to game 3 of the season - not approaching November. | |

That's just it, I didnt think it was awful pre Cardiff, some of the performances and especially part performances were far from awful, they just weren't complete. We need to follow it up with a solid performance on Wednesday against decent opposition because Cardiff weren't much of a gauge to be fair. | | | |

But how were they good?
We barely created anything. Keeping the ball is easy, anyone can do it if they are happy to sacrifice attacking intent. Even Cardiff could keep the ball and had 70% possession if they want to, they may never score again as a result, but they could keep the ball.
To say they weren’t complete suggests they were close to being so. They were miles away from anything resembling anything like acceptable and they were rightly criticised and will be again should we start emulating them in the future.
Praise when we deserve it, criticise when we deserve it - it’s a healthy and natural balance. | |

'Praise when we deserve it, criticise when we deserve it - it’s a healthy and natural balance.'
Deserves it's own thread given the level of angst and irrationality amongst the herd right now.
It's a pity a fair few on here are still unable to deal with critique, especially when it's constructive. The herd mentality kicks in and the herd are simply unable to cope with challenge, debate or opposing views. It's not a very clever trait.
Education pushes the boundaries, to challenge, critique and not simply accept stuff. To think wider, deeper and more thorough. Limited education manifests itself on here in irrational shouty behaviour, aggressive lashing out, name calling etc when challenged. The herd swells.
Last year the herd was an irrationally negative flock, aggressively lashing out with bile and vitriol at anyone who had the courage to support our winning ways. This year the herd has turned 180, marching to the same happy clapping tune. Hilarious stuff.
Those in the herd ought to take this opportunity to learn and reassess. Much in the same way they plagiarise proper vocabulary from the more eloquent on here, they should also look to plagiarise the art of constructive criticism. To stop and think for themselves, before they speak/shout in tune with the herd.

Yes, but I was trying to get the reason why you found drab 0-0’s and hammerings with limited attacking intent “good”, as opposed to questioning whether you did. | |

No comment on tonight’s fantastic performance? We’ve had two in a row now which Cooper could never have provided. The pretender is dead - long live King 👑 Russell | |

Being back in the stadium is definitely a factor, however I thought Cooper had reached his peak with us and his football was genuinely boring me to death. I felt I could see something in what RM is trying to do, it feels fresh and yes even exciting, but more than that it was becoming enjoyable. I feel emotionally invested again. | | | |
