Letās start with the ones who are way out of their depth.
Rob Page
Garry Monk.
The Swans need to be focussed and a proper manager who knows the Championship and has been successful is the only answer. Quit dreaming about idiots š |  |

Not necessarily selling one player BIG, although that would be wonderful, but we should also be looking to sell 5 or 6 of these U21 lads who are clearly not good enough for Swans to L1 clubs for, say, Ā£250k Ā£350k etc. it so adds up and clears the decks for a new U21 cohort. |  | | |

Maybe āstrugglingā was harsh and youāve articulated my point better.
For context, Liam Cullen would rip that league apart. |
Cullen at 22 scored 1 in 20 games for Lincoln City in league 1. He is a slow burner and not that much better than he was two years ago. Lincoln had Morgan Rogers and Brennan Johnson on loan the year before.
I think Cotterill will be better than Cullen, He is a strong brave player with good habits and a good shot. L1 and L2 are not easy and very physical. All these players need 50+ games under their belt to be ready physically .
They will pick up the pace in each league. Cotterill can replace Fulton now at half the wages. |  |

Any business outside football would regard losses of Ā£280k a week as absolutely horrendous. Ā£40,000 a day.
Fan brush it off and the shortfall is by Americans who the fans can barely offer any a thanks. "Show some ambition " ( cash).
The same fans had an organisation worth Ā£21m in 2016 and they were too timid to sell any shares.
Swansea cannot continue to over pay passengers and average Joe's. McLaughlin, Pederson Cooper Fulton Allen Naughton. Squad players must be 100% academy lads offering energy and graft. Throw them in and reduce theĀ£40000 a day losses.
The club has now no choice. Only Ā£9m loss allowed this year. Cost have to be cut 40% across the board. Coleman was notan enough to do it. Cotterill Wilson Congreve Hennia or new cheap signings have to deliver next season. |
After that Derby pre match interview, Iām more leaning towards Sheehan now.
The Leeds performance hadnāt completely convinced me, but hearing how humble he is and how he didnāt even want to talk about him getting offers from other clubs, was refreshing.
Why did he want to stay?
Surely we didnāt offer more wages, or security? He was offered a managers job and some coaching roles at some huge teams apparently.
Why stay?
I donāt get it.
I mean, if it was clear he really wanted the managers job here, and he was in line to get it, fair enoughā¦but heās not.
Or is he?
Could be the better for me now.
Iād also agree to give him the chance if he keeps us improving. |  |

The physicality (along with the pace) is the problem. Iāve no doubt our academy is producing technically excellent players, they just canāt cope with how intense league football is.
Cullen is substantially better than the player who scored one all season for Lincoln. He has 10 in the championship and 2 for Wales this season.
Iām not saying Congreve and Cotterill wonāt get there, Iām saying they arenāt ready yet if they arenāt standing out in league two. Rangers were interested in Congreve a couple of years ago if I remember right, so his talent isnāt the reason heās not flying at Bromley.
No one can take Fultons place unless he finds a club offering him a deal to tempt him away. Contracts donāt work like that | | | |

It was stated yesterday evening that the players out on loan will start pre season with the first team squad. There were no guarantees given after that. Montague knows exactly what he is trying to do some people may well be surprised. When there was a statement from the floor about Darling, Allen and Naughton not being here next season. It was quickly corrected by the panel. The response was there is a very good offer on the table for Darling but he has the opportunity to accept other offers in a couple of weeks and we are in discussions with Allen and Naughton. |  | | |

I think they have to decide whether to go down the academy route or the bringing in young players with potential and some first team experience from abroad route. Of course they donāt have to put all their eggs in either basket.
Recent appointments and the fact they donāt see category A as a priority certainly suggests theyāll be prioritising the second option.
Interesting to see if itās more cost effective to develop a player from within or to invest heavily in a scouting system that finds the likes of Widell.
Ideally, I think weād all prefer a team with a few of the next generation or Robertsā and Rodons. For the time being, I think Francos and Eoms are more likely. | | | |

Swansea are a nice club. Cotterill could replace Fulton as a squad player reducing wages.
Swansea were brutal with Asoro. Copper told him. " You are not in my plans for this season". He was gone shortly after.
If the club is serious about cutting costs ageing squad players must be replaced. McLoughlin Allen Naughton Christie Fulton Ollie Cooper . Swansea sent Abdullai on his way but not Fulton.If he is not playing he will serve his contract out on loan.. | |

That is naive to say the least, Futlon doesn't have to anywhere if he deoan't want to. He could see his deal out here if he chose, we cannot force him to do anything and if we refused to poick him he could do it from the stands.
Young players who still have ambitions may choose to leave, older heads may not be so obliging. Ollie Cooper is 25.
The future will probaly be much like the past, a mix and match of academy/loans/cheap transfers with the ocassional surprise, unless we get promoted. | | | |

I thought that the last two games Fulton has been decent. Better at Leeds but still solid today where the ball was more in the air than on the grass. | | | |

Yeah he had two decent games. That style of football suits him.
Mission accomplished, itās got us over the line. Very interesting to see if Sheehan sticks with it now itās more of a job interview than a battle to stay up.
I donāt mind it against Leeds away. I hope we donāt see it at home to Plymouth | | | |

At Leeds we were chasing the game from the first minute and yesterday was just a battle. If we score early against Plymouth I think Sheehan will tactically change and we could score quite a few. Plymouth have to win a point will be nothing for them so I expect them to be more open. We will win comfortably. | | | |

He set us up quite negatively in both games.
Three at the back, Cullen up front on his own, battlers but no creativity in midfield.
Itās fine when weāre heavy underdogs. Leeds were always going to come at us. Derby were more than happy to just make it a physical battle and if weāre honest, we were very lucky to break them down.
I just hope the way weāve set up the last two games isnāt plan A from now on. | | | |

I saw it as four at the back with Delcroix at full back and Tymon on the wing. But we all see games differently. | | | |

Yeah Tymon was certainly further forward than usual
Even so.
A centre back at left back
A left back on the wing
A striker who is probably better in midfield up front on his own
I thought Fulton did well, but Franco and OāBrien can battle. We had no one to unlock a negative, physical team
I wouldnāt want us to set up like that too often | | | |

No-one up front to unlock the negative game? Would have liked to see more balls to feet in the box especially against a team full of giants but that means sometimes the wingers needed to come in off their flanks with both Ronald and Key on our right with either able to use the wings could leave the other forwards able to take better positions in the box and able to make creative little run but yesterday it was only when O'Brien and Allen took control of the midfield did we start pulling Derby out of shape. Big lumbering players would struggled to cope substitutions made at the right time or could we have started with the finishing line up?
Happy to take the win. | | | |

Yeah delighted with the win. It was a crunch game at the end of the day. Sheehan has completed his mission with 6 games to spare. Have to respect that, particularly with the direction we were heading.
I just donāt want to see us playing like that again. It was like watching Preston.
We very rarely got near enough their box to play balls into feet | | | |

Atm its all about staying up atm, setting up defensively stops the likelihood of conceding.
Once we are sure we are safe then I expect the formation to be more attacking. |  | | |

It's a great idea to get rid of current first squad players and replace with players who can't make their mark in league 2 and at non league, imore of the usual clueless thinking by the brains trust 
We'll be back in League Two with that type of nonsensical thinking. |  |

Trouble is there will be big holes in the team/squad if we cannot secure or replace the services of players like the loan players Delacroix and O'Brien for equal quality.
The likes of Cotterill and Congreve are getting valuable game time and experience even at a lower level surely they will be in a better position now to make the step up compared to last season?
How a manager uses players in a team set up is vital but having that little bit of extra quality in the team can rub off on players for the benefit of them and the team hoping the arrival of Widell and help raise that quality whoever the manager is.
If and it is a big 'if' Sheehan can keep the results relatively positive would be happy to see him stay. | | | |

Widell will be a straight swap for O'brien and according to Montague we will be strengthening throughout the team in the summer. This time I actually believe them. | | | |
