Since Easter — across the end of last season and the start of the current campaign — the Swans have let slip an aggregate lead of 11 goals across five midweek matches in a row.
In their last eight games — including seven played this season — they have conceded four goals in injury time.
“I liked so much of [the performance], as I did on Saturday — the willingness to run, intensity, desire was great, mentality to defend,” said Martin. |  |

has to be down to coaching. For a team who obsess about keeping possession, we seem to lose that ethos last 10 mins of games and resort to long balls and hoofing it. We sit far too deep and we can't defend crosses. |  |

The mentality to defend? Defend what? We keep shipping silly goals and late goals, of course by shipping I mean pretty much gifting the oppo goals by playing Hari Kariball in our own box/last third.
The performance can be better, it was better against Millwall but still no win. Our players are weak, some physically, some mentally and some both. This keeping possession no matter what lark is a nonsense, even Man City under Pep will launch a ball up the pitch in the dying embers to protect their lead. |  |
