Baird of the land

We had 29 shots in Swansea opener alone last season under Pellegrino but the more telling stat was that only 2 were on target.

Unfortunately i don't see points nor the sort of thumping that'll heap pressure on Hughes. Probably a 2-1 defeat, where he'll try and deflect blame onto ref.

We've already got a bloated squad so we really need to get rid of the likes of long etc before we even think about bringing in anybody in Jan. Also given crazy jan prices, spending next year's money already on ings & the fact you could easily end up with the next carrillo, i'd hope the club would steer clear of permanent signings.

Ward prowse maybe

Best case scenario is Hughes getting sacked after losing to spurs. Newcastle game will be huge. Feel it's set up for us to give them a turnaround like last season.

Think we handled Van Dijk situation reasonably well. Ended up getting a lot more money from Liverpool than they would have paid in summer. What we didn't handle well was identifying a new centre back as we bought Hoedt.

Why would we want to sign another slow centre back, especially an aged one. Vestergaard should be playing centre back and we should be pairing him with anyone other than Hoedt.

At this stage i'd take a Swansea relegation and clear out.

Hopefully we get rid of him much quicker than we did with Pellegrino.

Agree it was bad defending. Can't understand how he seems to be the first name on the teamsheet.

Shane Long is utter garbage.

Please can we hurry up and sack the useless hughes

I’d happily sell him if the right bid came in and not replace him. We’ve got a bloated squad as is that needs trimming. Him or Davis could easily and we wouldn’t notice.

But pretty sure i saw an article from Hoedt moaning about how he was convinced to come because he'd get to play with Virgil.

Disappointing getting injured the day before the game if true.

don’t think Austin is brilliant at penalties. No more than tadic was.

Ings and Davis obviously. Was suprised none of Redmond, lemina and yoshi were in top 5.

Hopefully hoedt we meet again.

Don’t think jwp/Austin have done enough to be penalty subs. If it was lambert/le tiss sure.

Hopefully a confidence booster. Probably means we’ll be playing a back 5 for a bit too again. See whether Hughes rewards players with starts who have done well or reverts back at weekend.

Davis to score the winner

Sounds like Morgan is playing horribly.

Annoyed gallagher can’t even get a chance in the league cup. Well positively another loss will be closer to horrid Hughes eventual sacking.
