When it happens a lot and it affects the morale of a whole squad and it’s coaches there is a problem. 0 Same theme, same team. Click above.

| Swansea City : The story of the season happens too often on 11:12 - Dec 11 with 495 views | vetchonian | This reply could also be relevant to other threads especially the one discussing support for Martin Fulton is quoted regarding the numbers of player we have now in the attacking third but are they the right ones yesterday at times Naughton and Manning were our most advanced players. Martin insists on playing players out of their strongest positions round pegs in square holes they fit but don’t fill the slot like playing Cooper out wide, Piroe as a lone striker, Lati as a wing back though he looked better as left sided back in a 3 yesterday. No one attempts long range shots yet Fulton,Manning and Natchm all have the ability to do so as shown earlier in the season even Grimes has it in his locker so why no attempts? Maybe the manager has instructed the players not to remember his comments after Fultons goal v Reading. Much is spoken about bringing in players yet the likes of Finn Stevens and Ogebeta are never given a chance to show what they can do in their proper positions whilst players from other positions are shoe horned in there. Maybe just maybe Martin doesn’t have that extra bit required we played some nice football at times yesterday but we lack ideas it’s like we are looking for the perfect goal. Perhaps we should consider recalling Whittaker and Joseph maybe play Cullen up front with Piroe behind…..can’t believe I’m suggesting playing Cullen but at times something different needs to be done and Martin seems to have some faith in Cullen. There is always some excuse from Martin always something or someone else’s fault but when you point a finger at someone else you are also pointing three fingers back at yourself it’s time for Martin to look at himself and wonder if he has anything more than “eventually they will stop running “ |  |

Agreed. My question would be, at what point do we look at the manager and stop blaming everything else? What has to happen for our continued dire performances to be the managers fault as opposed to the owners or our players. Remember we wrote a season off for this. “Season of transition” was the mantra, well this is what we have transitioned into, by design - and yet some still seem to struggle to bring themselves to blame the obvious. What has this man shown people to have such faith? His record is awful. |  |

| 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.

Spot on. We pass the ball nicely and teams allow us to do t because when we get to their last third we run out of ideas, we don't hurt them. Or at least we don't hurt them enough, as often as we should given our possession stats. We'd be better off playing 3-4-3, bringing Joseph and Whittaker back with Piroe in he middle and Whtts on the bench. Sorry but I just do not rate Cullen. he's a waste of a subs seat. He's 23 now and simply shows no good reason for so much faith from Martin. Joseph, in the small glimpses I had of him looked quicker, stronger and more aggressive. |  |

I agree with you re Cullen I just mentioned him as we need something different if Obafemi is not available Piroe is better playing at 10 or in the hole. I couldn't understand why at times we were pumping high balls into the box when we dont have a Kiefer Moore Piroe is more masterful with his feet running onto balls often scoring with his first touch yet yesterday we seemed to think we had Alan Waddle or Tosh playing.... |  |

I would be interested in knowing how many goals Piroe has actually scored with his head. For a forward I think it would be extremely low. |  | |  |

It’s another wasted year. Another lost opportunity . More disappointment wrapped up in pitiful relentless excuses Good lads shipped out and replaced by those who play the odd ten minutes as long as they don’t upset Russ at training . And we want more ! |  |

We have decent loan signings already but certainly in the case Okaflex not deemed good enough by the manager |  |
