"It might sound like a bit of a rant"
No it needs saying and reminding 100%.
They live a privileged life and 100% effort is the minimum expected. [Post edited 28 Nov 18:03]

Effort and pressure 👍 |
Your comment about their privileged position is very much justified.
The bare minimum we should expect from any player is effort.
Part of a players apprenticeship should be a part time trade, Give them something to fall back on and a taste of reality | | | |

I'll support the Swans whatever happens. But players need a reality check, irrelevant of what went on with Sheehan and confidence. This is not the time to feel sorry for themselves. There is no loyalty in players and the fans will be here when they have gone. But if you won't do it for the fans, then do it for whatever pride and legacy you want to leave. But don't let it be relegation because the responsibility to keep us in the championship has a big effect not just on them but the fans and the City | | | |

Relegation clauses in their contracts will focus their minds. | | | |

I'm not totally convinced that the players are not showing effort and down tools. It's confidence in my eyes and its been hit by the poor coaching and whatever went on with O Dea and Sheehan etc.
Either way, at present they have enough time to get us out of this but players do need a reality check. Maybe go and walk the streets of Swansea, help go to Cardiff. Whatever your mood. And see how many homeless people there are and the poverty. As Keith said, Rangel used to go out at Xmas and help those in need.
Im not asking them to donate there wages in saying they need to step back and see that the world they live in and what they do doesn't just hurt the club but everyone in the city and beyond. | | | |

O'dea is the reason for the poor performances
It should be mandatory for every professional footballer to go and help out charities and also donate. |  | | |

Agreed. Lot of rumours I have read that O Dea wasn't the kindest or smooth talker to players. Who knows. Maybe he was but he has to take a lot of the flack. | | | |

Don't recognise the away supporters, walk straight down the tunnel, just keep walking without an after match press conference. How much evidence do you need that he is an arrogant, conceted, presumptuous..... | | | |
