I'm not bothered abut a style of play if it's successful, what i am concerned about however is that after 3 games this season we have absolutely no idea what Matos style of play is. It's not high press, it's not rock n roll, it's not possession based, there is no discernible quality to pin your hat on to |  |

It’s slow and ponderous with no idea how to play over the high press. I know that much. Déjà vu? |  |

Thats what it’s been so far, 2 home games and no goals. Teams just sit back knowing we have no idea on how to break them down. Yeo and Just are not ready for this level imo, what does Walta need to happen in front of him before he gets a kick in anger. | |

I agree.
Football is an entertainment business that was dour.
Passing backwards allowing the opposition to regroup is very easy to play against, it’s not the Swansea way, it’s just boring to watch.
Carry on playing like that & we will be having crowds of 14k those non ST holders (which I am now in the group) won’t be paying 30 notes to go to games. |  | | |

Its about being a true fan not about being a pretentious PL fan who wont be happy unless we are back there and who aren't being entertained, fvck me sideways, entertained 🤣
We were playing away last week and home this week, that normally makes a difference, you would think that certain fans would realise this by now. [Post edited 22 Aug 18:13]

One offside goal conceded in the first two matches, I would say defensively we are solid. One could say this is our style of play, tight at the back don't concede and we will win more games than we loose. Vigouroux not kicking the ball straight into touch would be a massive help. |  | | |

I agree with you about Just today , first half he was pretty static ,he hardly moved into space ,offering himself for Lissah to pass to,Widell was far more effective in the second half
Walta offers more creativity and would probably give us more against a team like Sheffield utd , teams are going to come here and try to stop us playing , we’ve got to find a way to counter their tactics and Walta and Widell are probably better options |  | | |

What on earth is our goalkeeping coach doing surely he can be coached better to not keep planting kicks into touch
Im not impressed either with him rooted to his line from corners |  |

Unfortunately that’s Vigaroux
He doesn’t command the 6 yard box let alone the area
He’s a great reaction saver but gives me shivers on crosses and high balls and don’t get me started on the short goal kick crap
His distribution off the floor is very poor | | | |

There really was no excuse for Vigouroux continually putting the ball out of play, even when Vipotnik and Stewart were on the pitch together and he had two targets he was doing it. | | | |

It was very obviously a deliberate tactic yesterday for Vigs to keep booting it towards the wing. Some came off, most didn't. The question really should be why we felt the need to do it at all.
As for Viggy himself, he's a capable Championship keeper. No better, no worse. Much like with DeVries in 2011, should we be successful in being promoted to the Prem then we'd absolutely need to upgrade in that position, but for now, he's fine. |  |

We are not playing RU and kicking for touch, there is no excuse for yesterday. | | | |

If he was a golfer he would be out of bounds on most holes yesterday.
Great shot stopper, needs to command his box more, and practice his kicking for an hour every day.
Worth his place for now, did very well overall last season. |  |
| 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.

I don't deny he is excellent for us but I believe my point on his kicking yesterday is justified. Is it a change of goalkeeping coach? | | | |

You could be right. But I believe Fulton was spare lots of times and if he had moved 10 yards to receive the ball he then would have had options either left or right. Instead he stood still and Vig was forced to boot it. Basics not done. | |

Elijah Just(the new Clucas).... Not seen him step up either - early days yes but Walta and Widdell look better options, then there is Franco to come back |  | | |

Fulton and Stamonic were very effective at Stoke.
Matos probably thought they were too good to change.
However a home match against Sheffield United probably required a more offensive approach.
I'm sure the coaching team realise that now. | |

If they're told to go forward a bit, they do. If they're told to maintain a back line, they don't.
It's like Vigouroux 'never coming off his line'. The setup was not for him to operate as a trio with the centre backs and control the space between them, so he stayed on his line, as instructed. | | | |

It's staying on his line at corners that worry me | |

Corners these days are difficult for keepers , packed ,fighting each other and smothering the keeper, fair chance of being caught in no mans land , no point attempting going for it, inless theres a good chance of contact. |  | | |

Hes 6ft 4 ins he should be in control of his 6 yard box at the very least a header from someone in the 6 yard box gives him little chance he's relying on our defenders to head away | |
