| Pato and a new wing back 23:22 - Aug 16 with 4911 views | magicdaps10 | Looks like Pato was a silly boy on the bench tonight and I would be rightfully unhappy also for what he done.....we need to be streetwise and then he does what he does. Upping the need for a new wing back as Joel L looks to be out for a while. How that isn't given as a free kick on Joel L is beyond understanding. |  |

i liked the look of Dan when he had a little cameo during the preseason last year. Surprised he's not pushed on and become a regular in the matchday squad. |  | |  |

What if it was just a spectator? Or just hit a board and bounced back? In 99% of cases the ball was going back just as quick. You can't blame losing a 2 goal lead in the 93rd minute on how fast the ball was put back in play. He had 11 players on the pitch who couldn't just boot it into the stands for 4 minutes. Why blame a guy who is not even playing. |  | |  |

Fans and advertising boards aren’t highly paid employees. They aren’t accountable. Russell Martin and the players on the pitch carry the can for the last few minutes, it’s ridiculous to put the entire collapse down to Paterson, but I don’t think anyone sensible is doing that. The fact that he wasn’t playing, yet still managed to help Milwall, albeit in a tiny way, is what has got peoples backs up. |  | |  |

I think if you are relying on not giving them the ball back as a way to hold on to a 2-0 lead, deep into injury time, then serious questions need to be asked and your problems lay far beyond one of your players handing over a ball that has gone dead. [Post edited 18 Aug 2022 8:33]

I agree. The middle paragraph in my previous post says as much. Doesn’t change the fact that it was a stupid thing to do. Any advantage that any of our players or staff who aren’t involved in the game, give the opposition, is too much of an advantage. No matter how trivial it may seem. |  | |  |

I'm not blaming him for losing a 2 goal lead, it was a stupid thing to do. It certainly got my back up, but I do agree it was poor how we conceded the 2nd when we only had to keep possession |  |

| Pato and a new wing back on 09:35 - Aug 18 with 598 views | pete | whilst not an intelligent thing to do its done , that was not the reason we drew (felt like a loss) As the stream says Pato and new wing back, THATS what is needed in fact in all honesty maybe 2 wingbacks and definatly anothe midfield player with quality, the only way we are going to get what is required is to pay no question. This squad as it is is at LEAST 6 players short (we have at least 3 fringe guys on loan , 2 dont want to leave but not involved as some are just not good enough )and untill our owners sort themselves and the squad out this is what we have , if the owners REALLY want promotion and care about the club they will do something lets see what happens by 11 pm 1st sept |  | |  |

You’re right, the next two weeks will certainly highlight the owner’s ambitions. I’d expect wingbacks in on the last day or two as PL clubs finalise who they want to loan out and free agents revise their demands. I’m sure our owners would love promotion, but they don’t have the resources to throw at significant squad investment, unless someone comes in for Piroe/Obafemi/Cabango. |  | |  |

yet they can find cash to fund Roony ( manager) and Benteke playing in D C theyn have the resources just not for Swansea, we have been here before in the last 3 yrs when Cooper need players the would not spend if they had this conversation may not be taking place, but lets hope they have changed ,( no chance) |  | |  |

Silly moment giving the ball back, but Pato is one of our most creative players. Great choice to extend his contract. |  |

| Pato and a new wing back on 10:10 - Aug 17 by Dr_Parnassus | Indeed, as I said, he can’t stand Martin and his ways. Expect more hissy fits to come. Piroe is the same but less outspoken. Obafemi is another than can’t stand him. Also wouldn’t be too shocked to see something there this season too. The list is growing, put it that way. |
WHy do you think he doesn't like Martin. Martin was is biggest an last season and a massive influence on him coming to the club and playing so well, even though he had no preseason and being unfit, he still played more than most other players and playeed better. Must have been his hate or the manager spurring him on. edit:Biggest fan [Post edited 18 Aug 2022 15:29]

| Pato and a new wing back on 10:39 - Aug 17 by guthrieintherain | I think the reason Piroe is not interested is more to do with PL interest and a huge increase in his salary. Can't blame Russ for that one. [Post edited 17 Aug 2022 10:39]

| Pato and a new wing back on 11:37 - Aug 17 by Dr_Parnassus | I didn’t say him wanting to go to the Premier League was anything to do with it. You made that connection, not me. I said, quite factually, Piroe and his family don’t like Martin - it’s as simple as that and it was an issue from the get go. Piroe wants to leave, of course the Prem is the preferred destination. But the two things are separate. |
It was an issue rom the get-go, but that caused him to play amazing last season, yet it's causing the opposite this season? Strange one that. |  |

| Pato and a new wing back on 11:39 - Aug 17 by Dr_Parnassus | It’s served him well so far. He’s now a £10m striker with Premier League interest. The Piroes are proud people, they don’t take disrespect lightly. |
How do you know the Piroe family so well to understand their morals and how the deal with disrespect? |  |

| Pato and a new wing back on 19:45 - Aug 17 by magicdaps10 | To be fair, Martin hasn't come out and said who it was although it's no secret. I don't understand why he done it, players can't be middle coddled and I don't see why there is such a song and dance when they are called out for something......the wage they earn, it shouldn't be an issue if they do something wrong. |
Exctly. And if Martin hadn't said anything, there would be posts criticising him for condoning, or even coaching Pato to do what he did. It's mental mun. |  |

He didn't blame Pato for losing a 2 goal lead. He just blamed him for doing something stupid, which didn't help the team. I it had hit a billboard, Martin wouldn't have had to have a go at Pato. It's quite simple. |  |

Of course you rely on not giving the ball back. Hence why youre coached to keep it in the corners and try and win free kicks and waste a bit of time, make substitutions etc. Do you think players get brought on with 10 seconds left, for them to get game time? |  |
