S22/23 The Official Swansea City v Blackpool Match Thread

[Swanjaxs]

Back to a back 5.
Just the thing to lift spirits before a game.

Well you can't blame Martin for playing it cautious, at home, against a team bottom of the league, missing 10 first team players...

 

[A4Jack]

Five at the back
Fulton and Grimes in midfield
Cundle in attack

Against bottom of the league
Wow

Bottom of the league, they haven't won in 13, they've got 10 players out. I know, let's drop our in form striker & get an extra defender in the team!!

Welcome to Wussy's world!!

He’s got our only striker in though. And Manning and Sorinola will be pushed right up, so not really 5 at the back. This suits us more imo than 4 at the back.

 

[Roger]

We will scrape this 1-0 and some of the deluded folk on here be like " I think we can still challenge for Top 6 you know! "

Happens every single time we win. I hate the Championship.

Liam Cullen has scored four in seven hasn't he? And they've played well together him and Piroe.

I think it's baffling

I’d missed Cullen. Yeah, a bit odd that although Cooper is ok. Cullen does well coming on from the bench, so could be worse.

Edit. Actually, it couldn’t be much worse could it? I’m clutching at straws. We’re relying on youngsters to get us out of a hole. We’ve a piss poor squad given all the opportunities these owners had - a PL squad, then 3 years of parachute payments. Take Naughton (who’s fading), Manning, Grimes and Piroe out and we’re League 1 level.

That's a bit harsh on quite a lot of players to be fair.

The team wouldn't look half as bad if we played to their strengths.

Don't think you'll find any on here saying that Rog. Last season, yes. Not any more though.

I'm looking for 3 points to avoid heading towards the bottom 3 personally

 

[MrSwerve]

Should be winning this one.

 

[Captain_Sham]

81% possession- Check
Multiple chances missed already - Check

All seems in order for us to concede a breakway goal.

 

[MrSwerve]

The thing is...say we lose this...does it make any difference? I honestly can't see any movement on the management front unless we're deep into the relegation zone.

 

[MrSwerve]

Goaaaaal from the Sorry Nola.

Sorry NOLA 1-0
