Derby tonight as Vitor walks into the fire 25th Nov 2025 15:56

Swans 1 Rams 2 : Second half shocker as nothing changes, Vitor comments 25th Nov 2025 22:44
There seemed to be promise, then there was frustration, poor passing, bad defending and a failure to take control of goalscoring opportunities. Basically welcome to Swansea City football. 1

I give up 🤷

But I get you have to have a moan once a day, you hage plenty to rail at so I will leave you to raise your BP.

See you at the hawthorns on Saturday.


You truly are poison , lack respect and it’s no wonder you’re ill
Don’t worry about my BP , concern yourself with yours
I’ve seen what happens when mental health gets you

Rather that see me at Hawthorns , meet me in person in Liverpool

well that is the usual turnaround if they don't perform for sure, but we spent a fair bit, so don't see how he is going to have much to play with.

in the mean time we can make the other assumption that all the players that don't play are the keys to our success ... standard wishful thinking but assume he will take a look.

surely he has been brought in to make this lot gel ... or we go down ... and he is with us for a long term project?


From where I am standing, we never brought the right players in, the players we needed.
We seem to have wasted a large amount of money, and still not getting the players needed.
It was obvious from game one, the pre season friendlies. 20 games in and we are no better.

Only 30+” over the 4 mins which included a goal and a fairly lengthy injury. Why don’t we get refs’ decisions like that when we are trying to see a game out?

Not that it would have made any difference but fairness id]s all we can ask.

Thought the ref was pretty good other than that though to be fair.

We are weak all over the park.
All the nonsense about great recruitment in the summer, it’s bollocks.
We are weaker than last year.
The manager should be demanding he brings half a dozen of his choice of players in January.
None of this data shit any more.


exactly,

15 million plus ,on a group of players whe we lack full bacls a midfield general/driver, and decent wide/supply men.
transfer window was bad, weve looked pretty bad all season, only a purple patch from vip has us from being in the bottom 3, new man deffo gas a job on his hands

A fairly encouraging first 30-35 minutes where we played the game at a decent pace and probably deserved to be level at HT. Went to bits after the break, even more so after the subs.

Stamenic offers us nothing that Fulton didn't already and based on tonight is worse at it. Benson was even worse. Franco struggled to get into the game and as a mate of mine pointed out, often does when he doesn't start. Easily Cabango's worst game for us too.

Lots of work for Matos to do. Finding someone to take Cullen on loan should be fairly high up that list.

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.

of the 11 starting tonight 9 were here last season,
Yes dissapointing result tonight and the performance tailed off but we started brigjtly just needed to convert some of the opportunities we created before they scored agaimat the run of play
Derby rhen put 11 behimd the ball and we were struggling to break them down
They were fouling from kick off breaking up play...
Based on the opening 30 mins we saw a different approach

The players confidence is rock bottom , they have list the crowd and they know it
Lets see hiw things are in 6 games time when VM has had mire than half a day or so working with the players

That said Benson is a waste of shirt,Ronald still cant deliver.
Cant understand why we didnt see Widdell at some point tonight

The reaction on here is hilarious.

As ive already said, I dont know what people expected after one session.

For matos to totally change us?

If he and his team have got anything about themselves its glomg to take a few games to get his way across.

Buckle in people, its going to take a while.

I’d really like to see Cullen do well but he was very poor this evening.

Well said

How much time has Matos had with the squad?
We looked a different side up until they scored.
Patience is needed....something it seems many of our fans lack

Yes there are weaknesses in some of the squad but Matos needs time to wirk on things.

He's been a first team regular for five or six years and has looked the part for about six weeks of it. He's just not good enough. Never has been if we're being honest.

Indeed but you’d have expected. A much greater effort from the players than they showed tonight.

I don’t see many if any on here criticising Matos. That would be silly in the extreme. But we all know he has a hell of a lot to do to get us into the safety zone this season.

One session ,I'm commenting on the past 6/7 games which culminated with what we saw tonight. The problem we now have is the normally reliable players have now dropped to the standards of say Key , Ronald , even Franco has become anonymous.

This all day long. Sheehan and his staff are gone and clearly the group who are here do not rate the summer signings only Burgess and Galbraith started. Like Matos said we have players but not a team. Questions need to be asked about the recruitment team. Several of the signings are on long contracts, Matos has a massive job.

Who picked that team tonight,we can only hope it wasn’t Matos
Cullen ,Fulton and Key would not get into any other championship teams starting 11 so why ours

Sideways and back doesn’t win football games, we take so long farting about at the back all our forward players are marked out of the game …. 2-0 down 10 mins to go…. Sideways and back ,chances to put a free kick or cross in ..No … sideways and back
Every Swansea fan in the ground could see it wasn’t getting us anywhere, Why can’t the people in the dugout see it
The first Derby goal , our wide players didn’t even notice the Derby right back was in so much space to put the ball into the box , Key was near our 18 yard box , Ronald was in the centre circle , no one even looked until he got the ball took his own sweet time and played a cross in that they scored from
This goal kick nonsense has to stop ,it’s like the chuckle brothers ..to me ,to you , only it’s not funny , the ball ends up being lumped upfield anyway ..well,eventually
Derby weren’t that special but we gave them the game so cheaply without so much as a whimper

Ronald can’t beat a man ,can’t cross the ball
Benson comes on for him and he can’t beat a man or cross either,he played every ball bar 2 backwards,when he finally did cross a ball we scored, he’s a complete waste of a shirt, surely Parker would be a better option even for Key who continues to build his liability mantle

I hope Matos can shake things up because it can’t get any worse than tonight’s showing , well hopefully it can’t

Joey wouldnt have known this summers signings.

What doesn't help is them continually fouling us, slowing us down, especially in the first half 18-8 yet the first yellow after 82 minutes, we play away, give a few fouls, then get yellows far earlier, things like this really wind me up.


Eom was kicked upside down at least three times in that first 30 or so minutes by their fullback and not once did the ref speak to him, not fused on Eustace either smug sod.
