 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

Vip for Idah was a big call. |  | | |

Our full backs are far to narrow. |  | | |

Really poor. This is on Matos and his tinkering with the team. |  |

This could not only be a reality check but a painful evening
I will say it again
Our full backs are as bad as you’d find on this league
That was appalling | |

Matos made a couple of big calls tonight, looks like they were incorrect. Poor defending. | | | |

Just nothing there, he is meant to be pressing he’s jogging about not happy. | |

Cabango shouldn't have started. Key should be RB and Lissah CB. | |

He's out of sorts that' for sure, the positive is that he's getting into the right positions, I'm more concerned with our defence at the moment, we are getting opened up far to easily. |  | | |

100%.
Matos needs to stop dicking about with team selection and pick his best 11 instead of trying to keep his big squad happy.
No doubt we will have another starting 11 on Saturday. | | | |

Just is the Emporers new clothes. Shouldn’t be selected |  | | |

Cabango seems to slow things down with his ponderous short passes. The defence is poor to say the least. |  | | |

Some might see these posts as negative but this is the reality check we needed
Soton far better than any we’ve played so far
They are doing what they like
Fulton being shown up and Stamenic too
Tymon is a terrible defender and Lissah a CH
Matos has fecked this up tonight
Very very poor | |

Its as if Saints got more players than us | | | |
| Southampton v Swansea City : Match thread on 20:29 - Sep 8 with 1070 views | Treforys_Jack |
Could easily be 4 - 0 which is concerning. | | | |

We are giving their big canadian striker free reign in the air. Is anyone going to put a serious challenge in tonight. | | | |

We are playing such a high line defensively allowing them time to run onto through balls. One was given o/s but may not have been. |  |

I think even I could do the half time stuff here, we've been so bad. [Post edited 8 Sep 20:33]

Fully agree. Whether it’s down to the window I don’t know but does not look at the races at all and does not deserve to start other than resting Idah. Vipi does no hold up work and looks way too slow in everything. | | | |
