Swansea City : Is there any good news ahead ? One last effort with the Home Offi on 12:02 - Dec 5 with 1234 viewsBoundy

Casey for me is a strange one , yes he's a loan player and should in theory be second in the pecking order when considered against on of our " own" but wasn't Marc Ghuei on loan and after a slightly dodgy start became a regular for us , in fact first name on the team sheet in the opinion of some . Neither Burgess or Cabango have actually played well so far so maybe its time to freshen things up.

It seems to me that the summer recruitment was not well thought out, be it purchases or loans. It smacks of a kid in a sweet shop, no thought no planning just buy what you fancy. We appear to be overloaded in some areas and not necessarily with quality. As Matos reiterates we need to create a team, with the possibility of loans going back it looks as if we need a complete reset again. Some of the purchaces in the summer are being funded over several years restricting our future spending. I ask the question, is the squad really better than last season? If not who is to blame? Did Sheehan carry the can for poor recruitment both in players and coaching.

I don’t think so. I think this squad is much better than Sheehan and his team made it look.

Appreciate he did a phenomenal job last season and is a genuine and likeable guy, but the tactics were drab and predictable. It’s always going to be an uphill battle when you can’t construct an attack.

Matos will prove one of us right and one of us wrong I guess.

I agree with you, this squad has potential, sheehans negative gameplan be it his or o'deas has limited them.

Im hoping, sorry more like praying that matos can get a tune out of them but after seeing our capitulation last Saturday I seriously doubt it.

Youth rugby is far more enjoyable and surprisingly well supported isn't it Boundy.

As I've said, the way we capitulated at WBA really worries me.

You would think that having a 2 goal start after 11 minutes they would be able to manage to see it out.

It baffles me that any team after getting a good start would revert to being negative.

I said it soooooo many times at the game, especially half time when the young uns were celebrating a victory in the concourse, that this ain't over with, there were signs late in the first half that told me we were going to struggle and I was prived right 🙄

Why cant teams just carry on with the relentless onslaught that got them the lead 🤷

Attack is the best form of defence.

First job will be to keep our players on there feet instead of rolling around ,trying to con the ref multiple times
If they can do that and get stuck in we might start a upturn

They make us feel indebted For saving us from hell And then they put us through it It's time the bastards fell

Franco and Ronald should be fined until they stop. Franco cost us last weekend with his nonsense.

We arent the only team who do it.

Watch ronald and see how long he takes to get up when he is pleading for a free kick
free kicks pointless with us though but it can change and quickly
its a portuguese trait though

True but when the ref is shaking is head in disbelief at most of them, it gets a bit Embarrassing

When they go down they shouldn't roll over several times and certainly don't hold the opposite leg to the one you were tackled.

Love it ,atm I definitely get much more pleasure from watching the kids play than the Swans , I'm gutted tonight's match has been called off due to the weather. I know much has been said about the state of rugby in Wales but as long as Clubs can provide the time & coaching and the kids the enthusiasm the game will survive ,

I was .
From a weekend of amateur sport it now looks like its just the Swans tomorrow. Hopefully we'll get a result and I can live on the euphoria for a few days up to Tuesday night at least.

Weather is shocking got soaked to the skin this afternoon.

Anyway what's going on with the Home office three people are wanted here at SCFC and they are being stopped, what reason or reasons can the Home office give to stop these three people to come here? they must surely be able to issue the required work permits, doesn't make sense.

I dont think you can sack a British person/people and then get a work permit for someone to replace them, create a new job possibly but we haven't done that. I hope I am wrong. As we are at the appeal stage, does that we mean we have initially been turned down.

It’s an appeal, they are struggling to prove eligibility.

Just got to hope something happens positively.

It’s in the report 😂
