Swansea City : Luke says the right things pre Norwich City **New signing ! 24th Jan 2025 12:11 The Swans travel over to Norfolk today before training later this evening and in the morning. The Swans are trying to hurry through the registration of Hannes Delcroix who has signed from Burnley on loan. More on that as the day progresses. The primary goal has to be a result at Norwich City on a weekend that storms aplenty hit the UK.0
Swansea City ship five goals : What an absolute disaster 25th Jan 2025 15:21 Surely now Luke Williams will be relieved of his duties at Swansea City and you can include the coaches he brought with him just over a year ago. Today the Swans were shambolic, rudderless and completely devoid of ideas. The tactics are clearly wrong and now it’s fifteen goals conceded away from home in four games.1

grimes just looking !
Should have got his body in between their player and the goal (not the goal scoring opportunity but shortly after). He’s not getting stuck in.
Key and Tymon are useless as well.
When we get space with the ball in attack all we look for is support instead of driving forward. That of course maybe the right thing because most of our players can’t beat the proverbial egg. And even if they do…
I didn’t think we were doing too bad before that goal.
I can see why we don’t score enough, but I do think this is our best front 4, in terms of off the ball stuff. All strong and determined, quite strong tacklers.
I’m no expert on pressing, but they all seem to do their bit. Especially compared to Vipo and Eom. Cullen can often be seen painting and instruction the others where to go. Seems good off the ball.
On the ball, we do seem slow and choose the longer, safer pas back to the CBs/Vig, when someone, usually franco or a winger has moved into a little space close by. A little pass to them, with a quick triangle, seems the pass to me every time . Yet it’s not used 🤷♂️
Full back went missing yet again. Our weak links when defending.
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.

Agree with most of that.
Your definition of “not too bad” may be different to mine though. We weren’t very effective and defensively shambolic none more so than for their goal.
Deja vu really; lots of possession but inability to convert chances and a mistake in us at the back. I suppose some will say we have been unlucky on the balance of play, but the same pattern seems to be repeated most weeks.

Not enough movement from the initial player on the ball for pass and go, frightened to do it deep in our half because everyone knows what could happen and not enough space once Norwich drop into their defensive shape,balls not played quick enough because of lack of support or we even crowd out the area ourselves making it easy to defend and passing harder to complete successfully, a couple of driving runs into the heart of their defence with support close at hand to pick up the pieces, instead of pass the parcel at the edge of the box.

Well. Sergeant has had tgree touches and almost scored with everyone of them He’s a striker We have none Doing ok? But yiu just knew eventually we would implode
Yiu think Grimes is going ok at leading our team ?
Yiu think our full backs can actually defend and do a basic job ?

Where the hell was Tymon when Sargent had the freedom of Norwich?
And Key torn to ribbons on the other side.
We have quality problems I didn’t think we had. If LW went, will that quality on match day improve?
I have said all season and before, that both are very poor defenders. I stand by that.

Patience! The clock has to turn 60’ before subs can be made!
We’ve been too patient Time is now We are in a relegation form and are falling away Summat needs to be down It isn’t New owners are doing nothing Williams is doing everything…wrong
Lets just think how far this team is off the team which one at Carrow Road under Roberto. I remember being there that day and what a pleasure it was watching the likes of Bodde and Pratley.
