It’s BS ,S They don’t believe anything of the mind Nobody can expect us to win even when we go ahead. We have lost winning leads more than anyone That is our priority not try to play the Swansea Way sheete. We lost when Williams made the subs Naughton as a centre half ! First game,and yeah I’m underwhelmed He ll probably praise the fantastic fans though. Next week will see a fisting fest |  |

I think there were signs of something to work with from our pov. Disappointing in the end but I’m never surprised with us. This passing around the back though will hand goals on a plate to better sides so I hope we deploy it cautiously with the opposition in mind. However, on the other hand if that’s our way of playing, the team need to play it in live situations to get the confidence up. |  |

Gonna take time, he’s only just walked in through the door, people referencing him as the 2nd coming of Martin ain’t gonna help though. |  | |  |

Disagree. For me, it’s reminiscent of his firmer mentor. We need to be concerned It’s very tight in this league Next game …. |  |

I thought we moved the ball slower under Martin, but we are entitled to opinions. |  | |  |

I know it is pointless to look back, but Whittaker got his 15th of the season today. Our wheeling and dealing didn't work out. |  | |  |

With Grimes and Naughton on the pitch that’s all we needed was Fisher in goal and you would have had a full house. |  | |  |

I saw that Looking back does give perspective though . The decision to dump him still affects us now He’s not been replaced We brought in Heyes with whom we are screwed |  |

Were we being solid,pragmatic ,cute,holding firm ,closing down players ? If so I missed it There are similarities between Williams and Martin . Clearly both articulate and both offering the disingenuous garbage to impressionable fans who are decent folk . Cut the crap Luke eh. No more Naughton |  |

I see your point in that the nervy playing around the back was there for all to see and fill their pants with. In fact, it was more nervy than Martin’s days and I’d like to see us more pragmatic when we deploy this style if play. But, I think there was more purpose in our attack and the inclusion of Parker has strengthened the side. I hope he is ok. Tymon also on the left got some yardage in and put some good balls in, one that resulted in Lowe’s goal. It was disappointing to lose in that manner even though the result was fair ultimately. Cullen is impressing me more every game and Tymon showed his ability today. Like you, and as you know, I’d like Grimes to be more vocal. |  |
