It wasn’t a good look as two players received red cards and any effort by the home side was lost in a static and frustrating display. 0 How annoying ! Click above.

Absolutely none of them would be missed if sold. For me,getting rid of Grimes is key. That way, we can @ctually move forward and not have to rely around one player,who starts or tries to ,everything . Bottom line is about ownership and football decisions . | |

Grimes was one of the few who played well today. Yes he made a couple of mistakes but in general his play was good, particularly the covering. He's not the only player to miss a penalty for us this season. | |

He’s a better player when he goes forwards. It’s just not in his make up. | |

Not a problem. You were telling us for 6 months we were going down, I didn't see it and we finished mid table. Opinions. | |

I would like to see him as AM instead of DM. He could break defences but as you say its not in his make up. | |

Swansea City : Grimes misses a penalty in a return to bad old ways on 00:32 - May 5 with 695 views | ReslovenSwan1 | Swansea is losing £340,000 a week on one of the most boring squads have seen for two decades, Most of that loss is on account of the players. One has to ask about the academy as well costing £200k a month. Cullen who was entirely anonymous today is the best striker the CoE ad Academy for 20 years and is frankly not very good. Barely any movement or "showing up" for the ball. Other long term prospects are not showing up at all. | |

The positin isn't important, the points difference is, we could have gone down this season with just 3 or 4 more bad results. If things continue on this trajectory next season could be a real problem, things have to change, to improve. Yesterday was a return to the kind of performance all of us are unhappy with, no desire, no effort, slipshod. It was the last game and we were safe, if things don't change then will we be happy this time next season? | | | |

I make comments as of the time. This season,we really did look like relegation material I fail to understand how anyone could be genuinely sanguine and confident we were “ safe”. We were nothing of the kind We have been mainly appalling save from a few isolated games . We have seen ludicrous praise for bang average players . Worst aspect however has been Yates,a stand out shyt house of a player yet one chosen to wear our shirt . Tymon has been he only bright light of a very dull season,exemplified by yesterday ‘ s return to crap, when both players and manager said they would be aiming to end on a high. Now,that trash talk gets up my nose so hang me high if it offends sone petals out there We deserve better than this . It doesn’t have to be this way ,folks . Honest . | |

The position was important at the time some people were worried about relegation because there were five or six teams between us and the bottom three and we were running out of games. One or two of the bottom clubs going on a run and overtaking us was feasible. All of them doing it really wasn’t. My posts throughout said the same. If we play like we have on general since Williams was appointed, we’ll stay up again. That’s a really low bar to set though and I agree the performances aren’t great to watch, particularly at home against teams who come to stifle us. Happy? No I won’t be. I’m not happy now. There’s a difference between being extremely confident we’d stay up and being happy with either the league table or the performances. | | | |

I’m happy we stayed up but disappointed with how we play,how we are run and what the immediate future looks like . Ipswich are in a roll and good luck to them. We know what it’s like Happy days weren’t they . | |

Those are separate things. I was never concerned about relegation. But I agree with you. I haven’t enjoyed this season. We’ve had too many games like yesterday. Huffing and puffing while organised opponents nullify us effectively. Staying up doesn’t make it an acceptable season. I do enjoy watching us when teams attack us like Norwich did, but we’re easy to set up against and stifle. I’m also a bit concerned about this summer. I don’t know what kind of funds are available and if we spend them as badly as we did last year we could be in trouble. | | | |

Firstly I haven't enjoyed this season at all, the only bright spot was the performance against Cardiff, not only for who it was against but the commitment and effort that was displayed. The rest of the season was terrible and dare I say it boring. As for next season I fear for the club in general. We have a bunch of football novices in charge who are making horrendous mistakes. We probably only have Wood who will generate decent funds, but it will be nothing near the £10M originally stated. We have quite a few players in contract who we need to offload at a considerable loss, some after less than 12 months, it really has been a waste of our limited funds. Then there is the reported aim to cut the wage bill. Obviously we are living beyond our means, but how much of this is down to major mistakes by senior management, particularly player acquisition. If we are to offer players less money to come, surely we will end up with a squad of inferior quality unless we get the balance youth and senior players right. Get this summer wrong and I really worry for our future. | |
