Here we go again with a right old tussle for Russell.
True numbers.
 Joe Allen to undergo five days of assessment before Norwich City 6th Dec 2022 09:00Ollie Cooper and Ben Cabango are fit for Saturdays game against Norwich City at the swansea.com. Olivier Ntcham who suffered a training injury which ruled him out of Cameroon’s first World Cup group game is also stating he is fit for this weekends game. He joins the swans on Wednesday morning at Fairwood for a fitness check that will determine his availability for Saturday.  1
 Swansea City - Getting ready to go again 8th Dec 2022 13:41The Swans get ready to go again for the second half of the season. It’s a big first game against Norwich City a team who find it difficult to stay in the Premier League but are usually top quality in the Championship. 0
 Obafemi not playing against Norwich City isn’t an issue 9th Dec 2022 11:36The more simple selection issues for Russell Martin this weekend will assist him now it’s clear Michael Obafemi hasn’t recovered enough to be selected in a Swansea City starting eleven. That will leave Martin with a straight shoe in for Joel Piroe. 0

after the brain fart start...still cannot understand why given our manager/coach an ex defender cannot make us us a solid defensive unit..we played at times some nice football but I still do not understand what timesNaughton and Manning were our most advanced players whilst Fulton which has a shot on him was back in defence...but then I am not as intelligent as our Russ
we seem to be chasing the perfect goal scored in the box....we have players like Fulton, Manning and Natchm who have shown in the past they have a long range shot on them yet no one seems to take one on....is this due to instructions?
Ollie Cooper is not a wide player he is CAM that's where has been most successful yet again like the Wigan game he was pushed out on the right
6 games now without a win...a boring watch....is he really worth a contract extension |  |

Been following swans since 1978,but not been as bored as last 2 seasons no pace no one to grab ball and attempt to glide past a player to open up space,just constant passing for sake passing,even when we were Lowe leagues and not very good we would at least have a go,get behind teams or get crosses in,anx can remember times when would at least say ooh aaar at least 4 times per half,this is just boring znd walked out after 30 minutes,that's the 3rd time I have dine this and also twice this season not left pub..in all years following swans I have never ever been like this but list so much interest under Martin.. it seems all he cares about is his c.v where he can say look my teams manage 70%possession in games..its getting beyond z joke znd I wish I never re newed | | | |

Exactly this.
I enjoyed Sousa reign more than this, at least we won our fair share of matches under him.
The last 2 seasons have been dire, especially knowing the strength of the squad we have. Just feels like wasted time on top of wasted time.
By the time we get a decent manager in, our better players may well have moved on. |  |

Cooper, Ntcham and specially Oko-Flex should have been on sooner.
Oko-Flex was ripping them a new one every time he got the ball but he only had 10 mins. Poor management that was. |
Okeo-Flex is worth more playing time than 10 n minutes here and there , pace , prepared to take a player on , today he gave us a much more attacking threat on the right than Patterson ever did. Cooper should have started ,he's strong ,direct and today up against a defence who were more interested in the player than the ball could have provided some interesting options | |

So why is Martin getting away with this
It’s a question all should ask
Meanwhile,England lost and it makes it better | |

Russel martin is a mid table manager. He manages nice footballing teams that win a few and lose a few. When Swansea were at the bottom they went on a great run. Then his team ran out of gas again. Hot and cold. Lucky and unlucky.
He has never manged a team who stay top 6 for a period of time, This is not on his CV.
On he other hand this might have been a serious beating last season as teams like Norwich scored from second half breakaways. I saw two very weak headers in the 6 yard box from Naughton and Piroe. I believe an aerial threat will add greatly to this side. A McBurnie type player. Piroe is weak aerially. So is Cullen |  |

Strong players make the difference.
We have a few but for some w reason we leave a few others on the bench |  |

I think winning a few just ends up wasting more time with the inevitable.
I’m so apathetic these days I rarely celebrate when we win and barely think about it when we lose.
There is no realistic progression path, it feels like a free lesson with a substitute teacher, it’s just wasting time until someone comes back in that has an idea what they are doing. | |

I agree sadly, I don't even think about going down to watch us these days, got to much frustrations in life without adding to them.
He just doesn't seem to learn, we go on a run winning a few then he gets fed up with how we've achieved those wins and then refers back to type.
The players waiting in the wings are just not getting the opportunities to show what they do, Oko Flex is wasted here, he seems to give him a go and then once Martin gets a negative feeling because the player hasn't done what he deems to be the right thing, he's hauled off and is back to 10 minutes or less again. Oko Flex needs to be played to get the best out of him he's a young lad he's gonna make mistakes, could have a decent give or two then have 3 or 4 not so good, that's to be expected with a young player surely, he needs time on the field of play, not just assessed on the training field.
It amazes me as to how patient Martin his with his team tactic's but then not patient with some players. |  | | |

For patience read stubbornness!
I think that offering this guy a new lengthy contract would turn out to be costly both financially and in the pitch.
As has been said constantly, he just isn’t learning. |  |

We really do need Cooper and Ntcham on. |
Should always start with Ollie Cooper for the energy he brings to the team. He would have made the difference for Wales in the World Cup too as the midfield Page picked was completely ineffective. |  |

Talk of a new contract, is far to premature, all its gonna do is increase the cost of his payoff, Yanks could be just happy to see us as a midtable team though, so it could probably suit them to keep him. | | | |

I've waited to put my thoughts on here, I'm so angry that this team is being wasted, the players played quite well individually, however the tactics and set up is continually wrong, his subs are always too late. In short I want him gone. Asbo corner singing "swansea loves you more than you will know" baffles me, we should be real automatic promotion contenders, instead we'll probably end up in mid table mediocrity again. | | | |
