The Swansea squad is boring. 19:07 - Oct 25 with 1154 viewsReslovenSwan1

I am not optimistic at all about the trip to Blackburn. The chances of winning are slim.

The team that played out a dismal match v Watford looked boring to me. 5 at the back and Grimes and Fulton had echos of Kenny Jackett. Both Grimes and Fulton are slow over the ground.

Even the front two lack charisma. Cullen and Yates are not going to get you off your seat too often without creative support.. Partino, Patterson and Ginnelly now that is a different matter. Only one of those on the pitch v Watford.

Give Congreve a run. He has a good touch and some flair.

The philosophy is suspect. Watson / Duff needs to bring some pizzaz back into this side. Fletcher, Smith and Wilson from the u21s would at least add some gas. Time for Duff o be creative and brave. A team like v Watford will have no chance of beating Blackburn. Go for it.

Wise sage since Toshack era

Very few gave us a chance at Millwall and Blackburn.

It is going to be a rollercoaster of a season. We have a chance on Saturday.

Crowds are drifting away and it’s not to do with cost,holidays,work shifts .
It’s simply a case of being bored then upset over losing .
People often find alternatives

18,500 attendance on Saturday. 14,500 last night.
33,000 home attendance in 4 days. I think that's pretty decent with Tuesdays game being on the red button.

I will be there on Saturday with the eldest after a gruelling weeks holiday with the family.

I am looking forward to meeting up with aload of positive jacks for good chat and a few beers and not actually giving a fvck whether we win or not.

I think there is a certain truth to the statement that the squad is "boring". A lot of competent, capable professionals for sure, but none with the X-Factor that gets bums off seats. Ginelly has it perhaps, but injury put paid to that.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

I totally agree, even level headed Cardiff fans are saying the same.

Andre Ayew is available on a free. He'd provide both an answer to our problems on the flank and the lack of excitement.

Go get him Watto.

Congreve instead of Cullen with the loss of Key we lacked a joined up threat on Saturday down the right.

Why not play Congreve in the middle of the midfield, away from hone, after him only coming on a sub out wide and destroy his confidence by taking him off after 33mins, sorry Martin has already done that.

Or similarly as against Premiership team Brighton play two centre halves on the wrong side of the pitch again destroying young defenders confidence.
Managers try some stupid things at times but is Duff trying to protect some of our younger players by selecting players with a little more experience even though some may struggle to completed the 90 minutes?

Happy for Congreve on the right, would even suggest if fit Key in front of Ashby or Key as an alternative in the middle of midfield he looks good enough.

In all honesty don't want to see Andre back, time for younger players to step up, steep learning curve for a lot of our present players just hope they can get to grips with the Championship with the protection of the managers decisions.

Need a couple of wins to keep us away from the danger end. Hopefully spin off the owners and we will strengthen in January. Cundle played well at the end of last season surely we could of matched what Plymouth are paying for him on loan. He put his hand up to say sorry for scoring against us. More than alot of former players who scored against us have done.

Liked Cundle and would have liked him back but have we got just as good in our youth development squads?

We definitely have better in Patino.

We are essentially boring if Duff insists on playing Cullen out wide.
It basically means a waste of 2 shirts.
Yates, because he’s isolated.
Cullen, because his work rate supporting him, is greatly missed when he’s playing out there.
If Duff has to change it for Saturday, Shirley?

Didn't mention Patino as it was a given, would like to see some of our contracted youngsters come into the mix.
