 TEAM NEWS : Stoke City v Swansea City 12th Dec 2023 15:12The Potters take on the Swans this evening, kick off 7:45pm at the Bet365 stadium. Swansea have an extremely poor record away to Stoke but they are struggling in the league, bottom over the past six games, so it’s a decent opportunity for more progress under Alan Sheehan. 0
 Swans snatch a draw in a really disappointing game at Stoke 12th Dec 2023 22:08It’s very hard to sum up a game where your team puts in their worst display of the season and then they snatch a draw at the end of the evening. A lovely Matt Grimes corner finding Harry Darling on eighty nine minutes who then expertly headed in an equaliser. However, it covered up so many issues seen throughout this fixture. 0

Goalie seems to have caught this malaise
It’s catching . | |

If we cling on for a draw maybe Watson and Sheehan will be happy with 4 points out of 6.
But this is difficult to watch. What has happened to us? | | | |

I reckon Grimes and Fulton have had a say in the team and style of play last 2 games. Too slow, too negative or passes which are never on |  |

One shouldn’t really single out individuals but it’s hard. | |

Someone who can see players who ,for whatever reason,are lost .
I don’t really think it’s drivel to suggest the last two coaches have sent us backwards at a rate of knots .
It has been appalling | |

A few players don’t look very interested, a dreadful first half. |  | | |

As we all know Grimes and Fulton in midfield is pointless. Cabango always has a mistake in him and on another day could have seen red. There is no link from the back to the front and playing Yates in this system is a waste. No shots on target is not good enough. Let's see if the coach can be proactive at halftime and turn this shower around. Bolasie has to come on now. |  | | |

We’ve lost the midfield battle (I use that word lightly) hand over fist.
No control of the ball, no movement. There was a moment in the first half where the ball was rolled out to Cabango who could have passed to Darling (who has not been too bad) but the path was blocked by a Stoke forward. There was no interest on Darling’s part to move to receive the pass. Just stood there hands on hips.
Hoping for better in the second half but you know what kills you… |  |

Shocking stuff so far. Both sides it’s probably a 2 out of 10 for entertainment value and that’s being generous. Shambles. | |

Has to improve surely
Patino and Patterson like headless chicks,grimes and Fulton simply passing sideways .
Lose the most one footed player I’ve seen | |

12-13 new signings in the Summer and this is what we have ended up with.
Questions needs to be asked about our recruitment - it is just not good enough. | | | |

Hoping bolasie wont end up being the worst signing of the lot. Useful first 5 mins when he first joined but looks obvious he’s severely lacking now the explosive pace has gone | |

Passing backwards is our killer.
It stems from the captain .
Just now after walking,he steps on the ball and rolls it backwards
Fulton the same
Why ? | |

We are loosing every single tackle.
And it doesn't inspire me with confidence to see our manager seeking advice off KOL on the touchline. [Post edited 12 Dec 2023 21:10]

Yep. Slow it down, take an extra touch, then pass sideways or backwards 8 times out of 10.
I could understand if we were doing it at pace to move people around but it’s pointless | |

Grimes has always done this
He is the very root of it all.
No captain either
He needs benching | |
