The EFL ( League ) Cup really doesn’t matter now, but it does when you win it.
This is the official matchday thread, and one day it will be history.
Yes it’s the Franck Tabanou waste of space and time Oxford United away thread.
TUESDAY AUGUST 9TH 2022 : Kick Off 7.45pm
We are advised the game is accessible on iFollow.
 Jonjo Shelvey less than gracefully ends his Swansea City career 8th Aug 2022 09:00It was six years ago, but Sunday January 10th 2016 signalled a cross roads for numerous players and staff at Swansea City. An odd date you may think ? Not if you are Jonjo Shelvey, Francesco Guidolin, Alan Curtis or even Franck Tabanou. The latter never played a league game for Swansea City but will be forever remembered for an FA Cup appearance for the swans.  1
 Oxford United manager - Swansea can fly up the table 9th Aug 2022 13:58Karl Robinson comes from the same football school as Russell Martin, he has a vision of a passing game that excites and is different to the normal fayre served up by many clubs. The Oxford boss isn’t fooled by recent Swansea results, and knows the style of play will come good. 0
 Another disastrous night for Russell Martin and Swansea City 9th Aug 2022 22:37Two circus type goals from Oxford United signalled more misery for Russell Martin at the Kassam Stadium in the EFL Cup tonight. The first a calamitous error by keeper Steven Benda, the second a ridiculous deflection from an Oxford United free kick. And all this after Swansea looked to be coasting to their first win of the season. 0
From next Saturday we will carry the main thread on the second post ðŸ‘

""If you look at the flow of the game, it was all us for 65 minutes, and then it just completely flipped. You can't do that, you need to manage the game better. That's maybe down to naivety."
Comes very close to blaming himself in his post match comments, but that seems to have been directed at the players instead, making him "angry and frustrated". The game shifted when he made 4 changes all at once and players moved around. 3 of the back 4 off, and Cabango getting his first minutes of the season had to swap sides and was going down with cramp. It's a horrible backpass for their first, but Abdulai has never played right back much that I'm aware of, he's a defensive midfielder finding himself against a touchline and told to keep possession rather than smashing it upfield.
At least in the first half Ogbeta, Cooper and Congreve seemed to have good games. More involvement for all three please Russell. |  | | |

Of course it was a freak goal, Benda dallied, and hit it straight into him.
Disappointing to go out yes, but it won't define our season. |
It's not a freak goal. It's an avoidable goal.. We all know that if a goalkeeper plays the percentages...these goals do not happen. He should have just passed it to his left.....(a player was there)...away from the oncoming player. |  |

If he’s “angry and frustrated” he should sit with us and watch his calamity football. Then he’d know what “angry and frustrated” look like! |  |

Don’t be silly it’s just people that post on the forum, the wider fan base is right behind him.
Apparently. | |

There must be more posters on the forums than I thought there were then.
It’s indefensible now. Time to say bye bye. |  |

Too right I was angry but not as @gry as last season after the Reading game .That was the defining game .
Many couldn’t see it,mainly as they love the club that much ,which is fair enough.
Anyone can have a go at me and it ok,they will get it back in floods but the club is important to me.
People go the their graves wearing a #wans shirt. This clown needs to understand this and he is just passing through and please,he is no Jack. If he says that about himself I will implode | |

I'm not agitated in the least, just find it sad in people taking pleasure in us losing.
I support the club, and have for more years than I care to remember.
I have given Martin my support from day 1 which any supporter would, let's see where we are after 10 games.
Bottom 3 I can't defend him |
Hi Rayns
Before we kicked a ball I had decided to give Russ 10 games, BUT after Saturdays debacle and his presser afterwards I thought to myself this guy is not going to change.
What makes you think things will be different after 10 games?
He has had a preseason brought in players apparantly who know his system in Fisher, Darling and Sorinola .
Yet as someone has said we seemed to be better without a preseason | |

I said on the thread, his comments after the game were totally unacceptable.
I was at Rotherham, not overly impressed but thought there was more to come.
In all honesty the last 2 games have deflated me, I'm running out patience.
Massive game Saturday, should tell us if he's lost the players |  |

Not only the players, but the fans, huge number at the game.
Possibly MRTINS cup/play off final moment! |  | | |

To be honest even if we win that what does it prove?
As Resolven has said elsewhere he bounced back last season...the problem is it never lasts | |

Very much the conversation we had in the car after Rotherham. I’ll use the word enjoy as it wasn’t a bad game and it did look as if some of the mistakes were going out of our play
It does look as if it was wishful thinking and a false dawn.
My thoughts mean nothing but surely the players want his comments kept for the changing room and debriefs.
We don’t need an us and them with the management team and players | | | |

Could be logistics, could be the opportunity to debrief the game in private, a good opportunity to discuss transfers, players out etc. It happened on the way back from Rotherham only as far as I am aware. |  |

I think I read it was a regular thing, both to and from the games. Was on the other site, can’t remember who said it.
One particular game he refused to travel back with the team even when his regular transport wasn’t available so he took the train home. | |

I can understand the logic of a debrief with his assistants, but going home by train smacks of being aloof and distant.
I know it is a route for many successful managers in and out of football, but hardly seems to be gelling the squad in the face of defeat |  |
