Well hello darling …
 Swansea win : Two cruise missiles from Vipotnik ! 25th Oct 2025 18:09It may well be a huge sigh of relief from both Swans head coach Alan Sheehan and his assistant Darren O’Dea. However, questions were still being asked after a second half performance bar a wonder goal from hitman Vipotnik that resembled so many this season. That isn’t to say anything other than if Sheehan gets the criticism for losing then today he gets the plaudits for winning.  2

Some of the posts ive seen over the last 20 hours make me chuckle.
We win playing quite poor, yet several posters still moan, looking at the negatives instead of the positives, because believe me there were.
This to me shows what people are like, some are only happy when they moan, they always look for the negative in everything to do with their lives.
There is one who gets others going with negativity, its like the news, you never see good news, only bad, thats why I dont watch the news and haven't read a morning paper for over 30 years.
Im definitely a half glass full person, I see positives in most things, yes understandably i get down when we lose but when we win i am happy even if we play poorly.
I know I will never change people but I find it sad when people still moan when we win, as I mentioned to UJ yesterday, id take us winning playing badly than losing playing well, which we have done quite a few times over the years.
Keep positive people, we will beat citeh giving the players confidence to smash that rat faced scummers team next Saturday 😉 |  | | |

Yes, I know some fans want a "light-switch" type of change in Swans' play. And yes, 10+ games have been played. But sometimes it takes several baby steps to get everyone on the same page, especially with as many new additions to the team.
Look at what's happening at Liverpool. Diaz, Nunez, Alexander-Arnold left and they brought in Kerkez, Frimpong, Chiesa, Wirtz, & of course Isak. Just lost yesterday, 4th straight PL loss. I don't think Slot's found the right combination just yet (plus injuries to Alisson & Isak don't help).
I still think Sheehan's the right choice but really needed yesterday's win to ease the pressure. He certainly hasn't lost his squad's confidence in him. Lots of good, positive stuff from yesterday's win, but still lots of things to sort out. Patience from our sometimes negative, highly critical posters is still needed. | | | |

Eom showed great awareness there. You see him check where Vip is as soon as he spots Norwich have turned the ball over |  | | |

The win and the manner of the performance are two different things though.
I’m with FB if we take each game individually, 3 points regardless of the performance. But we have to look at the bigger picture and understand we are not going to win every game playing badly. We need a plan, a strategy, a set of tactics that increase our chances of winning every game.
This is why I don’t think Sheehan is the right coach because I see nothing inventive or training ground driven in any of the games. Every game is the same and I don’t see too much of an improvement. Don’t forget, our 4 wins this season are against the teams in the bottom 4. That’s not a coincidence.
But just for the record, delighted with the win and 3 points yesterday😁 |  |

Thing is, we’ve been here before with the previous three managers. We can see when things are drifting along and when there is genuine change.
Yes we won, but it was courtesy of two brilliant strikes when we actually created very little. Vipotnik isn’t going to be able to score goals like that every week.
There were improvements. We restricted Norwich to very little. I thought Stamenic looked closer to the player he was when he got here. Not being able to play through defences, when it happens most games, is a real concern.
If we’d won 2-1 but missed four or five decent chances, I think a lot of us would think he may be turning a corner. | | | |

I agree.
Delighted with the three points regardless of how we played. But we've played twelve games now and I don't see a strategy. We should at least be seeing patterns of play built on the training ground. Even if they don't come off at least we'd recognize what they're trying to do. | | | |

Ronald had 2 or 3 decent runs, with one of his shots on goal forcing the keeper to tip onto the crossbar. He still is so inconsistent and is one of those things that need sorting out, or find someone who can get a decent cross in or a shot off more consistently.
I agree with most who thought Stamenic's play was superb a lot of the game but I agree with an earlier post during the game that "he was looking for a yellow card", and he finally got one.
I also don't like seeing a short corner toward the end of the game when we had so many much taller players on the pitch to try to get a 3rd goal.
And, although Eom was credited with an assist, his overall play is still lacking, running around with or without the ball like an aimless, headless horseman.
But, the game was won, and the team did have a lot of good, improved play. As I said before, Sheehan still has his team believing in him, and that's what most owners will monitor. When the team stops believing in him, then he can start packing, and OHL can drive down to pick him up and take him to his next destination. | | | |

A win of any shape, form or description was the priority yesterday. We'll take the 3 points and climb to mid table Sometimes winning ugly is what is needed. It's not a formula for long term success, but sometimes any win will do.
It's 4 wins against the bottom 4 teams and a draw against 5th from bottom. I'm looking forward to the game against 6th from bottom! | | | |
