Vetchonian is either a Cardiff fan or Keith Cooper. Either way sick of him and OHL's comments on here. So tiresome. |  |

Maybe the answer to that question will be seen at the end of the season when we see where us and Preston finish. Or maybe it'll be next season, with a bit of patience we'll find out. Every season we see the effects of short term thinking and impatience but it doesn't stop people having a go. Maybe it's because a lot of people have unrealistic expectations? |  |

| Preston on 10:23 - Dec 7 with 1445 views | Dr_Parnassus | Swansea shouldn't even be thinking about sacking the manager at this stage. There was enough shown in the short 5 game period not so long ago to suggest he is capable of seeing sense and putting the right tactics in place. Although If he is still making the same mistakes that he keeps making now well into the new year, then conversations certainly need to be had. Especially if there is a further 4m spend in January and we still remain a bottom half team. We cant afford to be spending the best part of 10m in a season in this league just to pass our way into the bottom half. If we do spend that in January, which is just paper talk currently, then it will be the biggest outlay in transfer fees in our football league history. |  |

Short term thinking is all around us, thank goodness we don’t have that at Swansea.

Im neither think about it if I were a CCFC supporter why should I be criticising Martin for hthe way his fottball is not yielding us results.....I would be prsising him for keeping losing more games than we win....much like us chanting "mick McCarthy we want you stay" during the derby game as he was leading CCFC to oblivion! Neither am I a happy clapper and cannot understand all the comments of how things are better under the new managaer, yet we have won less lost more scored less goals and our Xg or whatever it is a new stat dragged out last season show how we were less of an attacking threat is even lower than last year. When postewrs who talk of this are challenged we get "we can see it on the pitch" I feel it....well for me football is about results ...as well as wayching a good game I hate seeing us lose. |  |

I wasnt saying we should...in fact its the last thing we need right now. All I was pointing out is Preston have had a similar run as oursleves Martin seemed to be gettign to grips wit thigs in October, than he reverted to type..allowed Klopp to start picking his team. Icould list many things I feel are wron at the moment...like us not persevering with cooper and Cabango both acadamy products who were schooled in "the Swansea way" playing out form the back...but we persist with Williams who has cost us two goals recently. I think there is a good manager in there somewhere but his "insitience" on maintaing possesion is being drilled into players so much they are "losing" their natural instincts ...like Naughton in the Reading game when instead of putting the ball into touch which would have meant giviging away possesion he passed in field whichr esulted in lost possesion and a goali How many times when playing us youngsters would we be told never pass across the face of the goal? For me im over here, it seems if you are not part of the flock of sheep or clapping seals despite talking with data youare tarred as not being a true Swan so now I will just enjoy and continue supporting the team I have done so since Harry Griffiths from my seat in the stadium. I l be hoping for a victory on Saturday in fact desperate for it despite what all the trolls on here think and I am desperately hoping Martin gets it right and we dont see that Cooper fist punching the air!!!!! |  |

Well said EVERY fan has an opinion and should express it without being subjected to gang insults. Martin is very lucky to have such support and I pray to Allah it turns out to be justified. If it does not ,then many of you need to start baking and scoffing mountains of humble pie. |  |

Why? Because we chose not to write off a manager after two games? The only people who need to be considering their behaviour are the pathetic types who have whined all season. Apologies, only whined when we lose. When we win there's no sign of them. |  |

I don’t believe anyone wrote off anyone after 2 games? I know people pretend others did in order to have people to attack when we lose (and even when we win), but unfortunately the reality is far away from that myth that was carefully built and maintained by the mob. People were factually stating that our results were poor and explaining where we were failing tactically and where we should look to improve. The sensitive among us took that as extreme hatred towards Martin who was quickly becoming some cult figure on here, that nobody could criticise and everything he did (even if ludicrously bad) was a part of some incredible vision that only he can see. It was becoming a little creepy. Once he made those changes and we started to win, shock horror, those people who complained about the previous style and wanting these changes then became happy (despite being accused of not being so). Rocket science it ain’t. |  |

. The delicious irony. The hypocrisy is becoming too comical, almost a tad sad. Actually no, it's hilarious. The poster who last year only sang when we Lost, lashed out at other posters for supporting the manager and his successful endeavours. Disappeared when we won. This year he lashes out when we Win, hurls vitriolic abuse at fellow posters. Disappears when we lose. Classic trolling, in the extreme. And yet the sheeple bleat to the beat of him playing with his banjo. . . |  |

| Preston on 16:11 - Dec 10 by AndyCole | That Winston fella, is it right that he was a Moderator here in the past ? I couldn't think of a worse candidate to promote fair play, objectivity and a level headed maturity. Skewed, and bitterly twisted. Preston did destroy us. What was the body language like in the dug out ? We seem to have lost our edge in the Hwyl and inner belief department. . . |
Indeed he was. He allowed and indeed encouraged others to post the most defamatory material anf his chums love it. He is doing this with fire boy. Been like this for fifteen years at least . Winston is not interested in debate at all merely impressing his impressionable readers .It s pretty obvious . He was the very first to note my return to posting as he always has done . Make no mistake, I’ve been on here for a long long time and seen em all. Winston s main thrust was people moving away from Swansea and how they didn’t have as much right to comment as they don’t go to home games . Given the site owner moved away long ago… Let’s move it on,shove him on ignore AC |  |
