Season 20/21: The Official Swansea City v AFC Bournemouth Match Thread

[Ringwood Jack]

Bidwell and Grimes already off the pace

I’ve seen the club post a couple of job postings looking for groundskeepers. Perhaps there have been recent departures in this area?

The gulf in class is obvious, even if we somehow pinch this because of 'master tactician' Cooper Scooper.

In all seriousness we need to get into the match and stop just kicking the ball anywhere or we will get utterly tonked. I just hope that their defence is less assured. With Jones there, that's a real hope.

Oh, and what the f**k is Smith for exactly?

I know, I've started early

Possibly so but people at £9 an hour are not going to get it to the state that we would expect it to be in.

And are you suggesting that because of potential departures we have nobody qualified to look after a professional football club's pitch? Seems unlikely

We should get another ball on, for us to play with

It's not even 8pm yet mun :lol:

The game has worryingly started with us on the defensive too - I know it is early days but they do look significantly more agile and athletic than us

I must say that I was quite perplexed that the postings mentioned £9 an hour or thereabouts, yet required some sort of professional certification. I would expect few to bite at that wage.

Of course I’m not suggesting that they’ve got no one to look after it, just that they may be a bit short handed. Also, I wouldn’t be surprised if there have been some corner cutting to save £ lately.

The Ospreys haven’t been at the Liberty lately, have they?

 

[monmouth]

At least we've got into it now, thank God. The first ten minutes was a horrorshow.

Working now. Don't know what that was about.

 

[Ringwood Jack]

They are pressing high.. shouldn't be playing out like we are doing ! pitch also not helping
