I agree with this. Even if we just sent Benson home and brought a quality loanee in at RB.
Not only does it free up our best player to play in a more influential position, it lessens the workload for those around him, particularly Franco and Stamenic. Gives Matos more flexibility - he could play those three for tougher teams away, or rotate the more defensive minded pair and play either of them alongside Galbraith and Widdell for the majority of games.
We’ve got quite a versatile midfield when Galbraith is back in it IMO.
I agree with the general gist though. We don’t need major surgery. It’s a decent squad. |

Even early on, they didn’t really threaten us.
They were high intensity, committing in numbers and high up the pitch. It did rattle us and we couldn’t get our game going, but even then they didn’t look like breaking us down. Moore out jumping Cabango in the first couple of minutes was as good as it got for them until the OG |

Yes of course.
For context, I was responding to OHLs post where he accused Wrexham fans who sung ‘you can stick your Union Jack up your arse’ and Swansea fans who applauded them, of being ‘full of bitter, narrow-minded, nationalistic shite’.
Whether you are happy with the flags or not, I’m sure you can appreciate the irony there. |

This used to happen a lot in the early PL seasons. Opponents fans used to think they had an off day after they played us.
None of Wrexhams attackers looked particularly threatening because we shut them down. They didn’t play well because we didn’t allow them to |

Do you know what, this may seem paradoxical, but I don’t care about English clubs coming down here with the St George cross. It doesn’t carry the same connotations for me.
The UJ at our games is more than just pride in being British. I’m sure you know that Brazilian, Korean etc flags are pure support.
You don’t really see it at football, these people tend to chain themselves to bridges instead, but I’d think the same about Welsh nationalist flags. Same goes for anything relating to Irish politics or history. |

Im not easy to offend. I’m just of the belief that football should be about supporting your team, not making political statements. You’re way too intelligent to think that’s not what’s going on.
Appreciate you don’t go to games, but if you did, you’d see there will be a lot less for the West Brom game than than there were on Friday. Cardiff over the last few seasons has been a different level again |

I was surprised at just how many Swans and Wrexham tops were on display at the venue in LA where Snoop Dogg watched it.
Obviously we all know the size of the country, but I think the general perception here is there isn’t a big market for championship football, yes your Liverpools and Man Uniteds, but not much beyond that.
I think we, or certainly I, may have underestimated the potential. |

It’s not the flag. It’s people flying it and their reasons for it.
Some will say it’s just a flag, but only the very surface level will believe that. |

Because the Korean, Brazilian and Spanish ones aren’t flown with insidious but blatant political undertones. I don’t want our club to be the Welsh Rangers.
I’m just not a big fan of Nationalism. Welsh nationalism just the same. |

Often seems to be a strong correlation between people who moan when Wales are playing and people who like seeing Union Jacks when we play Wrexham or Cardiff |

People who take Union Jacks to games between two Welsh teams tend to be amongst the most bitter, narrow minded and nationalistic.
Away from football grounds, it’s a flag to be proud of. [Post edited 23 Dec 8:24]

They’ve agreed a loan with an option to buy with AC Milan for Fulkrug, who I assume is a squad player for them?
If the interest is real and Vipotnik gets his head turned, this could be a real spanner in the works. |

They won’t be. They’ll be pinning their hopes on bringing him off the bench, probably alongside another striker, when they need a goal, which West Ham often do.
Despite what I said about him all through last season, he’s improved way more than I thought possible and I reckon he could do that job now.
Overall he isn’t a PL striker at the moment, but he’s got that X factor to be able to bang a goal in out of nowhere. |

It’s possibly interpreting it in different ways. For me, crosses are the type of ball Llorente thrived on. Whipped in with pace for him to attack.
If we’re counting the ball from Ronald on Friday, which came in from the wing, but was played to feet and he took two touches of before scoring with his third, I wouldn’t interpret that as a cross, but fair enough if other people do.
As far as I’m concerned, we just need to get him the ball in shooting range and get teammates around him so he’s harder to double mark. Whether it comes from the wing or through the middle, is immaterial. He needs the ball at his feet with space to get a shot off. |

They aren’t really my taste, but I’d imagine these will easily outsell any of our other merchandise outside Swansea.
I don’t think our owners are provincially minded. They will be looking to raise our profile everywhere. |

It’s very much a free hit. Anyone even taking a point at Coventry has done better than expected. It’s like a lower mid-table PL team going to to Arsenal or Man City.
If we are competitive and can see more signs of Matos’ stamp on the team, I’ll be reasonably happy. Anything points wise would be a very welcome bonus. |

Ok, if you’re talking passes played to his feet that give him a clear shooting opportunity, then I agree. That’s his strength. That one came from out wide, he had two other similar (though not with as much time) opportunities in the first half of that game that came centrally. Cullen put him through in the first few minutes and he played a kind of one two with Eom, where Vipotnik basically created the chance himself and used Eom as a pivot to put him in.
Chances like the Stoke one will be few and far between. I’m not sure who played Widdell down the line, but it was a fantastic pass from deep in our own half that split their defence perfectly. Widdells pass was also perfect.
That takes a very open defence and two brilliant passes. Great goal, but we won’t score many like that. |
