Well I have seen plenty worse than this but not for a long time.
You're rightabout the negativity though we have perked up this last 10 minutes.
It is still my opinion that Grimes is an anchor in our midfield that stops us moving forward, who takes all the pace out of our attacks by playing keepball AND him and Fulton just don't work.
As others have said, a big striker yet we don't cross and an L2 side down to 10 men and we sill play safe.
NB, my son who is 15 and is also watching (and I haven't said anything) just said...this is appalling! And he's the optimist to my pragmatist. |
It’s what I’m saying.
It’s not encouraging folk to go and watch us.
It is all about Grimes and Fulton…. Frankly, I’d like to see us play without both . |  |

We were very cautious until the second goal but that caution won't get a second, or maybe even the first goal in the Championship.
80 mins gone and apparently we had 77% possession and over 760 passes to Gills 121.
At 84 minutes we had 9 shots, 6 on target. [Post edited 13 Aug 21:28]

what i guess the tv might not of shown is some of the off the ball running yet no one was delivering passes. | |

Who honestly cares about possession , truly i could not give a dead mans dap about it, this play in the last 20 minutes or so is what i want to see from the Swans, positive, attacking, good football.
this passing back and keeping the ball for keeping the balls sake needs to go, nobody does that, purpose with attacking intent is the way. | | | |

But Abduli always looked to pass back rather than make a run behind , |
He ain’t a winger. It’s unfair for us to expect him to be one. |  |

That was the point of the post, we had all that ball and did the square root of feck all.
Then we go and concede a stupid goal to those 10 men. That's what we get for being negative.
Teams like these, you have to kill them off when you have the chances, fortune favours the brave.
Less than 7000 there too. | | | |

If yiu enter a game with that mind set,it’s hard to adapt .
As I say,unforgivable
This is on Williams ,nobody else | |

But he's a footballer, what's the difference between pass ,move receive but this time going forward,since Naughton went off he's been more than willing to run the channels ,I,'m saying making 30 yard runs up the touch line but short runs behind. | |

The second these guys play positive football they score, ffs , its not rocket science , this holding onto the ball and keeping it like their lives depend upon it is so wrong.
We see what happens when they play positive, ffs, i am done with the Swans keeping possession like its some kind of trophy.
they can do it,. they can score, they can be positive, do it ffs
Anyone who disagreed with me knows nothing about playing football, nothing at all, not a single thing, prove right yet again!

One positive is that fulton played the full game, hopefully this is a sign that he won't be in the starting 11 🙏 | | | |

We spent so long getting the ball up field because we felt we needed to complete at least 6 passes before we do.
An example if this was in the 49th minute. The ball was being triangulated over on our left, Cabango on his own in the right. Only after the ball going to each in the triangle did it come to Cabango who then pushed it forward. But it’s these delays tha allow better teams who would have studied us to arrange the DM and back line accordingly. We need to be quicker.
Sorry about these points being made ad nauseum points but my frustration is getting the better of me. | |
