![]() ![]() ![]() I could go onĪs much as I blame the owners for the total lack of investment in the squad and constant asset stripping of any talent we have. No organisation at the back, we play into scenarios where we are left short of men, Wood is the only defender with a modicum of pace…. The issue is solely with our defense, we’re a goal away from being the worst in the league. With 70% possession, odds are one of your passes is going to find the net, we’ve the 6th highest GF. Watching last night, we play the game at a snails pace. The last thing that annoys me is when Martin says we have to work so hard for our goals and then concede so easy. Takes a few risks with passes which is badly needed. Honestly, we don’t really use Fisher in build up play more than just tapping the ball out for a goal kick, so he could quite literally not be a downgrade in any way.Ĥ. Don’t get that from Ben, Grimes or Allen.ģ. Manning and Flynn Downes did this really well last season as it commits a midfielder from them to leave their marker and suddenly there are options in midfield. Again something that can be improved by getting another body further up the field. It’s an obvious critique of Martin’s style but the ball either needs to be passed through the lines or carried through before the opposition reset. Manning and Patterson could combine well out wide. Once Whitakker and Patterson came on last night, moving the ball out wide and getting dangerous balls into the box became much easier to manufacture. With 3 at the back, be have only one player out wide, and too many in defense. Teams sit in deep so it’s nearly impossible to play through the middle. We need to play with wingers, not wing backs. However unlikely it may seem this morning.ġ. It’ll need everything from the fans, ignoring the position of the manager, to help us towards a positive result. With Blackpool hitting six past QPR last night it shows that points are needed to pull us away from the drop. Bristol City at home sits between us and a two week international break after five losses in the last six. Ben Cabango, touted for a bright future looks broken, Joel Piroe looks off colour and Morgan Whittaker would be lucky to be valued at half the £2m Rangers wanted him for in January.įor now, we can only sit and wait to see what happens. The Americans are finance orientated and can see that the values of players are dropping game by game during this run. There’s going to have to be a lot of people coming into the building and a lot of attributes we haven’t been able to sign last summer or in January which is what we’ve been crying out for. As I’ve said before, it’s a huge summer for the club. “We spoke a lot about the summer and about what the squad needs. He offered a lot of support and a lot of encouragement. He’s been really supportive since I’ve been at Swansea. “He asked a lot of questions about a lot of the players and the period we’ve been through. “I had a good couple of hours with Steve this afternoon and he just reinforced the support for what we’re doing in the long term,” Martin said post match. That could be the summer, it could be sooner but it is a matter of when, not if.Īccording to Martin, Kaplan spoke about the players, what’s needed in the summer and offered some support for his ‘long term vision.’ That is in no way despite claims to the contrary a backing of the manager. Indeed last night was just a typical Swansea City show under this manager and will be until the inevitable time when he is released. Yes he wasn’t backed in January but he has been otherwise and with a spend of £8m over 18 months it can’t be argued. No manager survives this run despite the mitigation that he might offer as to why his team are so hopeless on the pitch.
