| Stoke City v Swansea City : Match Day Thread ( Not ) Not Loyal 01:02 - Feb 7 with 38161 views | KeithHaynes | A disgraceful piece of behaviour from the favoured Not Loyal who after agreeing to supply Swansea Independent with every match day thread this season he has gone missing. We have spoken to his representatives but all we are hearing is he isn’t happy. His Mrs states he isn’t in the right frame of mind so we have sent some site representatives round to his house to assess him. It seems he really isn’t ready to supply us with this Tuesdays match day thread so we can only assume he is getting in some training. We can’t wait 😂 Everyone is hanging on tender hooks for this one. Any swans fan not going can subscribe to swans tv. Maybe some will be daring enough to surf the web for a free view. Even the hardiest of souls on a midweek think twice about their travel plans with School, work and just life itself getting in the way. Stick with us, Swansea Independent. Stoke City will provide the biggest test this season 7th Feb 2022 11:00If back to back losses were the talking point last week then back to back wins has to be the conversation this week. If a commendable win on Saturday against a form team like Blackburn was just the boost the swans needed, then tomorrow nights game in the potteries is this seasons watershed. 0 The championship games between Stoke and Swansea, controversy and resentment 8th Feb 2022 11:36Both Swansea City and Stoke City have had aspirations of a return to the premier league since the clubs were relegated. In that time seven games between the sides have been played, Stoke with their huge over spend edge matters slightly 4-3, but it’s the swans who have made the bigger impact in an attempt to return to the premier league. 0 Andy Fisher and Jamie Paterson will be key tonight for Swansea City 8th Feb 2022 16:28A rejuvenated Jamie Paterson and new signing Andy Fisher will surely be the catalysts for something special to happen against Stoke City tonight. New swans signing Fisher seems now to have taken the number one spot in goal and Jamie Paterson came bouncing back on Saturday now there is no chance of a lucrative transfer until the summer at least. 0 Swansea City put in their worst performance of the season at Stoke City 9th Feb 2022 08:00It’s very hard to evaluate a game positively when there’s little or nothing of any positive substance to analyse or discuss. Last nights game at Stoke was up there with the Bournemouth away defeat and indeed Preston away for lack of effort and cohesion, but there is more. 0 Stoke City: Joe Bursik, Joe Allen (captain), Tyrese Campbell, Josh Tymon, Ben Wilmot, Jacob Brown, Phil Jagielka, Taylor Harwood-Bellis, Nick Powell, Lewis Baker, Jaden Philogene-Bidace. Substitutes: Jack Bonham, Tommy Smith, Liam Moore, Sam Clucas, Steven Fletcher, D'Margio Wright-Phillips, Josh Maja. Swansea City: Andy Fisher; Ryan Bennett, Flynn Downes, Ben Cabango; Cyrus Christie, Jay Fulton, Matt Grimes (captain), Hannes Wolf; Korey Smith, Olivier Ntcham; Michael Obafemi. Substitutes: Ben Hamer, Jamie Paterson, Kyle Joseph, Joel Piroe, Yan Dhanda, Joel Latibeaudiere, Finley Burns.

| Stoke City v Swansea City : Match Day Thread ( Not ) Not Loyal on 21:27 - Feb 8 by onehunglow | You think then this performance is not to be reacted to then. Yiu honestly believe we are building |
Tonight has not been good, passing has been non existent. Of course I see it for the building process that it is, playing like tonight is not part of that plan and Martin has got it wrong. We are looking tired, we are lacking numbers but that's no excuse for tonight. Parking the bus, not passing the ball and looking for aimless long balls....i think Martin thought that we could stick this game out as we did in the last 30minutes against Blackburn. |  |

It is bemusing. This is the sort of save that goes 'viral' when De Gea, Neur or Ederson make it once a season. |  |

The passion is there, I am just a bit more controlled on here rather than lose my head. We could be 10 points adrift in the relegation zone and then I couldn't argue with the over reactions....it could be worse 😬 He's trying to do it right but tonight....no defence tonight. No taking away that Martin needs to front up after this one and be as honest as he can. |  |

Don’t like to say it but writing is on the wall here…….. The team is shot confidence wise. Be interesting to see what next few games bring…….. |  | |  |

We can keep it well enough when the opposition want us to keep it. Why waste energy closing us down when we're happy to pass it in our third for 2-3 minutes? There's a colossal difference between dominating possession and your opponent simply letting you pass the ball around. Manchester City keep the ball in the opponent's final third and win it back near instantaneously. We keep the ball in our final third, and frequently lose it through individual errors which regularly sees us concede match winning goals. |  |

| Stoke City v Swansea City : Match Day Thread ( Not ) Not Loyal on 21:43 - Feb 8 with 2033 views | jasper_T | Second best gives us too much credit. I'd hope the lesson Russell Martin finally learns is that this shape does us more harm than good and has all season. I expect him to decide that the only thing that went wrong was taking Smith off. Cabango had a shocking second half. Red harsh (accidental handball is a pen and a yellow, surely) but changed nothing. |  | |  |

Court never starts until 10am. This performance tonight may start before that. |  |
|  |
| Stoke City v Swansea City : Match Day Thread ( Not ) Not Loyal on 21:45 - Feb 8 with 2006 views | felixstowe_jack | Another gutless away performance. The player were ill disciplined and yet another one sent off that make three in less than a month. Why is our team so disorganised under Martin and yet another collapse once we go a goal down |  |
