Birmingham City v Swansea City : Match day thread UPDATED** 13:26 - Jan 8 with 16005 viewsModeratorC

Two new managers : Mowbray v Williams



Swansea City : Expect a different Birmingham City this Saturday ‘Mowbray style’ 9th Jan 2024 15:03
Another one of our bright young writers takes a good look at Tony Mowbray this afternoon, and what the Swans could possibly expect this Saturday ( St Andrews, KO 3pm ) It won’t take Tony Mowbray long to steady the ship and get Birmingham City going. 0




Swans close to Birmingham sell out & away day info latest 10th Jan 2024 08:00
Swansea City are close to selling out their 1,800 away allocation for Saturday when they take on Birmingham City at St Andrews. ( KO 3pm ) That’s great news as the Luke Williams feel good factor has gripped the Jack Army. 0




Bad news off the pitch for Swansea City today, but the Jack Army are behind you ! 13th Jan 2024 08:00
Swansea City’s squad are already safely installed within striking distance of St Andrews this morning. The not so good news is the usual suspects going down with injuries again. 0




Swans end up all level after going ahead at St Andrews - Twice ! 13th Jan 2024 17:51
As Ben Cabango joined the Swans fans in the away end for this game having been ruled out on Friday evening the Swans displayed a determined approach to this fixture. However, once again a match winning lead was given away by the Swans with well over twenty points now being lost this season. 1




Luke Williams on drawing 2-2 with Birmingham City 13th Jan 2024 21:07
Luke Williams was pleased with an away point at Birmingham City this afternoon. And despite stating the Swans started well in the second half ( they didn’t ) it was his first game in the championship as a head coach. 0




How did Birmingham equalise so easily ? The move examined and there is fault everywhere 14th Jan 2024 14:27
It was a tough but expected happening at St Andrews yesterday afternoon. This happens far too often, the Swans give away a lead when ahead, not once but twice. Man of the match Dembele was the big difference. We’ve had a look at that second goal and it’s a tad embarrassing all round. 2

We can score goals without question.
However no other team has lost or drawn from winning positions.
That is what Williams needs to address
Yesterday ,we were pegged back almost immediately .
Then after a lovely goal of real class ,basic error costs us ,right at the death
Before anything else ,he needs to sort this out


Obviously didn't see Leicester yesterday or the Man City win yesterday either them ?
Just two examples of teams leading then losing ?

Of course he didn't see them.

Just like he hasn't started a single thread for as long as people can remember not bitching about something or other.

There's nothing Perchy fears more than a successful Swans team.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Thought that much was self evident .
Looking at the post,I’m buggered how anyone could have interpreted thus .
Facts are facts.
We ship away leads ,often right at the death

We continue to fail to learn from mistakes .

THIS is what Williams should be addressing not worrying about HOW we play or how much possession we have .

We were very lucky to have got a point there .

Mowbray is @ good manager

After one game you are already turning on the new manager, that’s a bit premature even for a negative poster don’t you think?

Mowbray is @ good manager


If Mowbray is such a good coach why after putting so much pressure on us why did they fall off, conceding from a set piece which Potter was very apt at doing and for the second being suckered punched for our breakaway goal and maybe we should have claimed the third goal. The reason why and you and I think he is reasonable manager is because of his longevity in the managerial game.
As for Luke Williams he seems to had a good record in a lower division and he did guide us to a winning position that we should have won from. Happy to see how he progresses.
Players have to make the right decisions while on the pitch the manager have to make sure they are in positions and have the knowledge of the game to make them.

Morning.
A decent reply
You make assumptions of me however and that is misguided at best .
They came back at us twice.
Previously,they were sinking fast and Romney’s reign disastrous,their players basically downing tools ,fans walking out well before the end .
Mowbray with his experience and pragmatism addressed this in his first game and got a result.
We have the most outstanding record by far of spewing leads and this continued which tends to suggest Williams has a harder job than Mowbray or that we should be more circumspect at his appointment .
Soton game will be very interesting indeed.
Master against pupil played out in front of a live Sky audience .

To be fair R, although they could have bagged a couple in the first half, and one glowing chance at the start if the second, they got lucky with their equaliser. As good a strike as it was, it was more to do with our defensive and positional awareness than Mowbray’s tactics. But there we are, we know what to work on.

Saying that, Mowbray will definitely make them better.

In a match that was a draw and Birmingham were at home. How did Mowbray get a result and Williams didn't.

Well at 93 mins they had no points
At 95 they did
We had three then lost two
Matter of interpretation really
I see this is getting contentious already
Saturday will be interesting indeed
