Maybe the next step is to bring in an experienced coach to work alongside Martin eg Colin Calderwood.
Or is it too late?

Hell of a journey down for Sheff utd team apparently, they also had 10 players missing and of course we WERE the home team and yetso many think what an amazing result a goalless draw would have been for us, oh well.

Teams can keep their shape and simply wait for us to give them a chance.
We are easy meat.
Sheff Utd did just that

Hardly outstanding,not exactly pretty but they pounced when they could and their fans made the long trip back a pleasant one as opposed to what our poor bluddy fans have to put up with.

If some of our players stepped up to the mark we could definitely get up there
I sometimes think it would be good if a few very passionate fans met those players before a game tonread them the riot act..

Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

Due to recent bannings on here you may well read other usernames attached to those posters who decided for whatever reason to cause disruption on this website. Based on this websites overall objectives you must draw your own conclusions as to why they now return with such venom and hate.

Cara to cara.

Most of the people I know are not on this forum or twitter etc. They seem in the main to have a more tolerant view, although in some cases it’s decreasing. Strong belief to not get in to the play offs or a strong belief to do so ? I know more who still think he can than don’t.


Seems a tad strange to me, given the evidence? We don't score many but we nearly always concede soft goals, specially late on. It's hardly an inspiring combination.

Myself, I think it's a relegation battle. Martin can be a nice bloke, a top man (and a player recently insisted to me that he is) but he can't produce a team capable enough. Something has to change.

Just my opinion, but WTF do I know anyway?

He reminds me of Rodgers for being a nice bloke & up his own arse.

Unfortunately that is where the similarities end as he is certainly nowhere near him as a manager.

Bren admittedly overdid the fantastic city fans club stuff but he did us proud and set us up for the Prem.
That we eventually failed soils his legacy.

I’m afraid Martin should not be mentioned in the same sentence


He s a nobody.

The fella over the road from us is nice but I wouldn’t have him as our coach .I would have had Mourinho a. Preening,arrogant,obnoxious ,prickly fella but brilliant motivator and coach .

Can't see any evidence of that which you suggest.
I stand by every word O post and will discuss my witterings with anyone.
Being Welsh means you are born rather introverted,insecure and sentimental. It's why,like Anthony Hopkins once said,"I never really felt I fitted in".

Right now,I challenge anyone to be truly anguine about our club right now.Anyone happy needs to look into that glass again.
There is more realism around now and that is also refreshing and indeed encouraging because we need to protect our club and supporting charlatans Like Martin is not the way.

Hopefully,Huddersfield next .I know a super pub with a piano ,if it's still going ,that is. Not sure as of yet as depends on more serious matters with my chum up there.

We have lost 4 out of 9 league games already. It would take a remarkable turnaround in performance levels & fortune to get anywhere near the playoffs. As a rough rule, teams that lose more than 10 games In a season rarely make the playoffs.

We are where we are due to performance levels (& some bad luck). Form for this season & the last 9-10 games last season indicate that we will be in a relegation battle. Playoffs this season are further away than the possibility of relegation. Too good to go down ? Something needs to change rapidly

He did indeed. Much maligned by our ‘supporters’ on this very board. Cooper achieved success with England youth & the Swans & was the desired breath of fresh air at Forest taking a team from the boot one of the Championship to the toughest league in the world. Where many had failed he succeeded. He played his square pegs in square holes etc. & used the cards he was dealt with, just got on with it & was ultimately amazingly successful. I don’t see it continuing in the PL & it will be a surprise if Forest survive. We will never know what would have happened if the club had backed him or given him what they have given RM.

which is why we should all forget him and not comapre him to Martin.
In fairness, nobody deserves to be compared with Martin.

Well if he was that good we'd have beaten Brentford in the play off final. If he was that good we may have made the autos by jettisoning the useless underperforming Connor Hourihane too.

Nice try , Andy

If we stop messing around at the back, push forward instead of backward passing, and stop with the nonsense of looking for perfect passes then he absolutely can, he has already got rid of that clown keeper and replaced him with in my opinion someone much better, this team keep looking for perfect passing pretty football but we don't have the players to carry it out, we definitely have the strikers to destroy teams though so get the FKing ball to them asap

If Martin was replaced with a more pragmatic less arrogant coach then we would move up the league,mainly as the waifs and thoe who slow us down would be benched;im thinking of Grimes ,Naughton,Fulton for a start.

We have some vibrant talent in Cundle,Congreve,Cooper for a start who are quicker in thought and deed. Im not sure Joe Allen was a great idea to bring back a he seems to have lost a lot but he is a player of class and his experience would see him captain in most coaches' eyes.

Joe Allen has been holding the team together and the reason we move the ball quicker from back to front.

I have said he is past his best but his worst is better than Grimes ,who is nowhere near his quality. I stand by what I say and not keen on players actually returning .Hang me!

6th place QPR 15 points
Swansea City 12 points
Generally agreed we have gifted away 4 points (Millwall and Stoke) which would place us, with a small degree of late game management, in 5th place above Sunderland.
While I can’t see us gaining promotion, the degree of negativity at this point has got to be way out of proportion.

Not really because at this point there are signs of morphing into a more effective team.
