Good officiating. Need more of that, always a yellow for delaying the free kic

Score four or five and then give Downs a run out to see if one bounces in off his arse.

SWANSEA ARE THERE FOR THE TAKING! We could score four or five comfortably today. There is no reason for us to have three CBs on the pitch.

Scienza and Jander are excellent. Fully expect them to be subbed off in the second half. 👀

We need to take off a defender and out on an attacking player. We could score three or four comfortably with an additional attacking player.

Let’s be realistic the speed the ball came back at Archer there off the post and the angle he was it - it was always going to be harder to score ffs. Some people on here love making a drama out of it. We need to take Edward’s off, he’s been outmuscled so many times, get an attacking player on. Swansea are there for the taking.

Swansea don’t look very good, and yet we’re so uninspiring when we have the ball.

Scienza is the most attacking player on the pitch. Expect his to get subbed at half time for not doing as the regime demands.

Pass, pass, pass, sideways constantly. On a side note there can’t be more than 26,000 there today, so many empty seats

If we played like, say, a Nuno Santos style of football I’d be all for it. I’ve seen nothing in a year to suggest we’re even close to that.

Five st the back in any home game is appalling. It must be mentally draining for a player to be told we’re going to set up five at the back despite being battered with that formation for two thirds of last season.

I’m hoping he picks the team today based on their natural positions and not to be edgy and catch them off guard, eg Fellows at RWB, Fraser at LWB etc. He needs a win today if he wants to be taken seriously.

Sorry to hear you’ll be going, I hope you have a word with whoever bought you the tickets! Jokes aside, happy birthday, fingers crossed for three points.

I got a text last saying “Tickets are still available and we’re happy to offer you £5 off”, and I wanted to respond “great, that’s still £25 more than I’m willing to pay”. 🤣 Swansea will defend deep, I think if we get a couple of wins in a row it’ll come together, but it’s just not happened yet. Being unbeaten is a start, just need to put teams away. Armstrong, Archer and Scienza have to be the front three after Derby, play through the channels and not balls into the box and we’ll score. I must be still a little hungover, but I’m going to say 2-1 to us today. Armstrong will score and Fellows will get one ten minutes from the end.

The negativity sometimes annoys me from AL but ironically he is probably spot on with this one

I don’t think it’s been queried but they were training with the team in the days after the window shut.

There is no truth in this whatsoever. This account has been called out for bullshitting before and making shit up. If anything I suggest people call them out on it. Probably another fucking teenager that’s spent too much time playing video games.

Danny Rohl there his toys out the pram at the start of the summer, let’s be honest he was angry no one came in for him which led him to resign. He did ok at Wednesday but I wouldn’t say he is anything special at this stage.

If Dom Ballard scores 25+ goals this season then yes you could argue he was worth keeping; but it’s not like he’d done anything prolific at senior level before. He had a nasty injury which set him back, and also being prolific at U21 level doesn’t mean you’ll make it at senior level. This could be his ceiling. Really pleasing for him to be having a good spell of form but let’s not get carried away that he was in any way worth keeping at this stage.

If only there was a sell back clause for Downs

Steven Gerrard has turned down Rangers. He’s been quoted as saying “I cannot fix this shitshow”.

Redmond went to Turkey for a good payday and spent a year or two out there. He then went to Burnley but was injured a lot of the time.

I does frustrate me the “gung-ho” attitude of drawing a game or losing and then chucking on five strikers for the last ten minutes of the game to salvage something.

Don’t listen to TSP then. I mean it’s all opinions but I’d say the chaos on TSP are excellent and very level-headed with their views. There’s a small minority of the fanbase that think we’re a Europa League level club and quite simply we aren’t, we had a good few years but no more than that. The infrastructure is there for it but the management has been woeful. I think this season is going to be the year of change, I think it’ll be very up and down and I think we’ll kick into gear at the end of the season, whether it’s too late by then who knows.

That’s decent, didn’t actually know that
