Sorry but I entirely disagree with this. Yes they've invested, but their sole motivation for investing in players is the potential profit the be made when we inevitably sell them on. They're not interested in building and keeping hold of a successful team. That doesn't qualify as having their heart in the right place as far as I'm concerned.

I should have inserted the word 'occasionally' somewhere in that sentence. However, if you're referring to the one that came back off the post to him, I'm not gonna blame him for that. It sat up just too high and was a much harder chance than some on here made out.

It's not heresy to point out the obvious. He was very poor again today. He's got a tidy finish when it's put on a plate for him. But he doesn't contribute enough, and having both him and Armstrong on the pitch today was never going to work.

Still didn't beat them though.

It won't. 5 years ago we were sitting at the top of the PL (albeit briefly). Under SR we'll be lucky if we ever get promoted again, let alone reach that height. The worst part is that for all those years under Gao we were crying out for an owner who could actually invest in the squad. And when we finally get one they turn out to be a bunch of utterly incompetent clowns who have made us soooo much worse.

Not as a manager. He was only really known in this country for conceding that penalty at the world cup in 2002.

It was only 5 years ago that we were where they are now. The damage that SR have done in that short time is quite breathtaking.

This isn't the positive you think it is. Swansea were absolutely dreadful - worst team I've seen at SMS this season (even Wrexham had some kind of attacking threat). We have no excuses for failing to beat them today. None.

This is the crux. I think it was @benjii on the match thread today that made the point that we were desperate for a goal in a game we were dominating, and the striker we signed in the summer wasn't good enough to get off the bench and provide it. It's this repeated failure to upgrade in positions that literally everyone except SR can see need upgrading that is killing us time and time again.

BUY A FUCKING STRIKER!!!

Corner to Swansea. Sucker punch goal incoming.

Fuck me. It's not happening today is it.

No, evidently not.

Fellows on for Jelert. Perhaps going to back 4 with Edwards at RB and Fellows ahead of him?

Blackmore not sure what Vipotnik got booked for. Really?
