we would but I fear our coach is a 4-3-3 man
Like many modern day coaches whi go through the badge courses they get "coaxhed" into a thinking and only a few get to be creative with formations etx


Saturday we finished with Key/Casey/Cabango/Burgess/Tymon. All I am asking is to start with it. He had to change to that because Cabango was coming so far over to cover Key it was leaving space in the middle.

Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

It would be a good indicator Sheehan is learning if he does start with this on Wednesday

The whole idea that the club are "Rubbish at promoting games" is fairly idiotic.

Fixtures are announced in the Summer. Nobody with the vaguest interest in attending Swans games is unaware of when and where the fixtures are to take place, or how to get tickets. You'd swear that some people are convinced that Clubcall remains the only way to get information about the club.

What puts people off is poor performances, results and the general lack of entertainment on offer. If we were winning every game the place would be full no matter what the club did.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Same as how we always manage a 40k is support when we get to Wembley

It's the way unfortunately but a huge increase of the gates we had at the Vetch.

Posted before our crowds in the promotion winning season under Brendan were just over 15k no different to now

But Sky are not helping with all the televised games these days and the 12 30 kick offs are a pain

You give it out, you take it back it`s all part of the game
Poll: Happy to see Martin go

As are all midweek games being shown live on the red button. It makes it an easier choice for families with young children who wouldn't get home until after 11pm in some cases, which is not practical on a school night.

Last season Sheehan often resorted to putting extra defensive strength to see us combat that intense aerial battles using Fulton's extra height when needed, most commonly towards the end of games, Cooper's for he most part defended the flanks well to stop.crosses coming into the box so often but many teams in the league are struggling to hold onto leads or seeing games out from winning positions,
It would seem we have lost a bit of dynamism in areas of the pitch the teams has become predictable and easy to counter, they attack us down the flanks as we press our fullback high or tuck in defensive mode giving half decent wingers time to run at our defenders pushing us deeper into our box or pumping balls into the box.

If we are going to constantly have our full backs up so high then we need to ensure we have at least two defensive midfielders to assist the defence as teams counter us but again does that stifle us going forward?

We really need to use the space being left in the midfield be it latter runs by fullbacks or centrehalfs knowing if they drive forward our fullbacks are going to cover them as we don't need them as extra players in attack.
If we have we play Casey in the back three he does seem to have a bit of quality with the ball at his feet also intial pace that Burgess and Cabango need time to build up while he also seems sensible or trained at a higher level to know when to get the ball out of dangerous areas. Would he free up the fullbacks to push on we know both Cabango and Burgess can play incisive passes out to their respective
wings, do we need to keep both wingers and wingbacks clogging the channels leaving us empty in the middle of the park.
It would appear that both Galbraith and Stamenic can provide play through the middle of the park but it seems that their hands ( or feet) are being tied for fear of loosing the ball and having only Burgess and Cabango left in defence so maybe we will see a lot more of Casey because at the moment something has to change to ensure we have that attacking threat and defensive strength.

Luke William's team at the beginning of the last season saw a lack of goals for and against but went in pursuit of goals but at the expense of the defence. I am hoping Sheehan remembers that and looks at the alternatives he has to make us better in both attack and defence.

Our time in the Premier League should have increased our fanbase. Of course you’d expect some to drop off, but we should have more now than we did before seven years of massive exposure.

If you play 3 central defenders and wingbacks ,you don’t play wingers so you can play a second forward or another midfielder,depends on formation

More than that really. You have one centre back who has freedom to carry the ball into midfield and your second striker is also able to drop much deeper either to make the midfield compact or to offer an option when we’re trying to pass through the middle. He can also help the centre forwards press by cutting off a passing option.

Yes, you do have less threat out wide and the wingbacks may have to be replaced after an hour or rotate starts, but for me it would suit the squad we’ve got.
