 Saints v Swans : The weaknesses the visitors can expose 7th Sep 2026 14:04There are easier places to go on a Tuesday night than St Mary’s, but Swansea City should make this trip with confidence rather than trepidation. Southampton might have one of the strongest squads in the Championship, and they have certainly shown they can score goals, but their opening weeks have also shown us something else.  4
 Southampton v Swansea City : There’s history there & similarities 8th Sep 2026 13:02Southampton and Swansea, the Saints and the Swans. We share quite a few traits. Both share a location as the centre of their countries' southern coast, both cities have around 250k inhabitants, and indeed both became cities in the 60s. We have beautiful nature surrounding our urban centres (the tree on Southampton's badge is a nod to the New Forest), and, as one-club cities, we share a fierce rivalry with a club that play in blue, a short drive to the east. 1
Not sure this was at all good enough.
Swans lose their first game of the season very badly indeed.

Click —>  First defeat of the season : Swans collapse and were never really in the game 8th Sep 2026 22:36It wasn’t a good watch, but then not every game the Swans play will be, and there will be more this season. What is extremely annoying is the clueless way this side collapsed in wave after wave of Southampton attacks, many of which were caused again by silly mistakes and a lack of competency on the ball. 1

Not sure that Wrexham were unlucky not to win , they had one shot on target ,we had 3 , it may seem that way but they really didn't do anything but nullify our attack . |
Well I seem to recall they missed a tap in
That would have seen them won and effectively snatch the game
As I say? It didn’t define our season and hopefully it’s a blip
We hope | |

I was surprised to an extent that Eom didn’t start last night. I appreciate squad rotation but as he’s not going to be with us for a few weeks I thought we would have expected a night on full game from him. I hope his late appearance had nothing to do with him going to the Asian games as the league is his bread and butter. |
I thought that might be the case, but then thought that he’s our player, not South Korea’s.
It’s not as if we can use all his energy up and then Korea will have to deal with the fatigued player, which seems logical.
Problem is, Korea probably won’t care about his fatigue and just want the strongest players out for the longest time, to ensure they win gold.
Hence, if we don’t use the rest rotate thing with him, we risk them getting him injured or totally wearing him out whilst away.
That makes sense to me anyway, not sure if that’s the actual protocol for any pros tbh. |  |

He’s dramatically worse
The man was deadly last season |
Yes but you’re acting as if he’s been playing full games up until now.
He hasn’t had one full 90 and already has a goal and assist, plus I would guess a high shot on target per attempt stat as well.
Which stats do you see as “dramatically worse”? Or just in general as a player/human? | |

Morning
Stats? Me FFS
Just my eyes
He’s not happy
He’s not effective
His body language says much
It’s not hate either
He’s been a top lad for us and I like to see him like this
I’m hoping / expecting he comes good ,
Idah is more effective at the moment
Thanks | |
