Swansea City : Saints, Hammers & Marko Stamenić *Exclusive
at 10:19 12 Nov 2026

That’s my view also , he does slow play down and gets caught with the ball a lot and he can be reckless and has miss timed plenty of tackles ,picking up cards.He has had some good moments but not consistently
Eustaquio is a far more dynamic midfielder and has much more to offer us for the future ,Fulton has played well ,lately in fairness both defensively and going forward
We’ll see if we miss Stamenic in the next few games but we have more depth and quality in our squad now and I don’t think we will
If we can get a good fee and get a replacement in,it’s a no brainer to sell

I’m in the East ,south stand end opposite the penalty spot and you can clearly see hear some opposition keepers barking out at set pieces

You could hear Freestone continually shouting when he played

We also don’t track late runners into our box , getting on the end of pullbacks , we concede a few that way

Workington had the largest playing surface in the FA as I recall

My first game was November 1968

We definitely need a specialist set piece coach, specifically for defending but attacking set pieces also
We concede far too many ,and don’t score enough from set pieces
I’ve said many times times that Vigaroux is a great reaction saver and shot stopper but doesn’t command his goal area at all, he has a real reluctance to come off his line, almost like he’s glued to it when the opposition has the ball.
he’s a big lad but only seems to take high balls if he’s unchallenged ,it’s as if he’s afraid of contact and taking a knock which is a big reason opposing teams win so many balls and get so many chances when high balls are played into our box
Something has to change

Walta is a strange one .. Matos obviously doesn’t want him ,yet he looks like a good prospect that probably needs acclimatising to the championship,many players take a bit of time to get up to speed in this division , we’ve seen players not rated by one manager go on to great things with another and go on to get big money moves to massive clubs
I hope that’s not what’s happening here
Matos picks Just ,but many on here question his strength and ability at this level,what can you say ?
Also Zan was written off by Sheehan yet went on to become the championship top scorer , no mean feat

Swansea City Review : Lighters, Fights & A Cheat called Laird
at 12:44 8 Nov 2026

This break is coming at the right time for us,Keith , a chance to let players recover from knocks and reset for the next run of games
We haven’t had the run of the ball in the last few games and the referees we had have left a lot to be desired ,the over physical approach by Portsmouth ,a lot of which constituted dangerous play being overlooked was beyond incompetent , but what’s really got to me is the blatant play acting going unpunished,so much for cracking down on it !! ,West Ham were truly embarrassing and I lost all respect for for Nuno after we played them ,Laird yesterday another who should be ashamed ,it’s blatant cheating for goodness sake and all this soap opera nonsense is ruining the game
Anyway rant over

Get everyone fit and we go again

Just watched Match of the day and witnessed a foul by Boyle of Leeds on. Spurs player ,catching him on the Achilles area , no where near the ball that could was quite easily have resulted in a very serious injury ,a red card all day long,VAR looked at it and Ref gave a yellow….abs ludicrous
Stamenic did go in a bit enthusiastically but no contact was made …Red card
The refereeing inconsistency is ruining the game

On another point Killman of West Ham lost the ball and went down holding his head , but had a sneaky look at the Ref ,so obviously play acting , ref played on and Blackburn scored ,I wish that ref had been in charge when we played West Ham,they were embarrassing with their antics

We’ve conceded quite a few late goals because Some of our defending at the end of games has been lazy ,wingers getting past our FB’s too easily and getting the ball in the box,not marking properly at corners ,not sharp enough to get to loose balls and losing concentration and leaving players unmarked around the goal area and midfield and not covering late runners into the box to get on the end of pull backs ,all this has to change if we want to get anything from games
We don’t seem to be able to to see games out like other sides do ,which is worrying ,maybe all the chopping and changing of the team isn’t helping
We are too inconsistent to be considered promotion contenders at the moment but if we can find a settled team, tactics and performances ,maybe we can turn it around

Just goes to show what a crazy division the championship is
If we win 3 on the trot we’d probably go top again ….
Absolutely 🤪

It galls me to say it but the Scummers seem to have spirit and a will to win by the cart full, I bet they’re chomping at the bit to play us
Oh for a bit of whatever they’re feeding them

If we keep defending corners and set pieces like we have recently we’ll keep getting beaten
Another long hard season ahead by the looks of it ,with no luck going our way

Matos needs to settle on a 1st eleven when we get everyone back fit and stick to it ,this constant tinkering is blowing any hope of consistency

Over to you,Vitor

Put Zan on for Stewart
Drop Eom into midfield
Widell and maybe Iorpenda as he’s a big lad on later

Stamenic is prone to a few reckless challenges,a bit too slow on the ball too ,the quicker Eustaquio is back the better

Do well to keep the score down today, I see plenty of high and long balls peppering us second half,Vigs is going to have to step up and take control of his box for once

Don’t give up and don’t give in

Our centre half put me on to him , always hobbled in and the following day I was as right as rain
I would go to him for one appointment and I was sorted
In the years since the only person that came close was Mrs Leyson ,Chiropractor with places in the uplands and Cadoxton in Neath ,same thing ,one appointment and sorted

Chiropractors nowadays want you back for follow on appointments,costing a small fortune

“The don’t make them like that anymore “ certainly applies to Mr White

We’ve approached the last 2 away games completely wrong ,slow sideways and back football trying to keep the ball from the opponent which has failed miserably
Tymon was taken to the cleaners many times on Tuesday ,if he’d marked the winger tighter he wouldn’t have received the ball in the first place to run past him
Portsmouth were very lucky with the way everything seemed to drop to one of their players , another day they drop to us but we have to defend better and that goes for Vigs coming off his line for high balls into the box too ,Birmingham play a direct game playing fo corners ,throws and free kicks , we have to tighter

We’ve got a great press to ,We have to be tighter in defence and in the midfield and try to hit them quickly on the counter
We have to play Zan or Stewart up front to give us a target to get balls in to
We can’t let their widemen breeze past our fullbacks because we’ve given them too much space to receive the ball, if we mark them tighter we nullify that avenue of threat
We have to be first to the tackle and to any loose ball’s
Please Vitor stop the slow boring play at the back that gives opponents time to mark all our boys up and nullifies us as an attacking team,because opponents are better at shutting us down than we are with them
We are more than capable of winning this
