I don't think we are miles off being a really good side it's just that we seem to be too conservative in our approach. The set up for me is wrong and we need to be more attack minded especially at home . We have to be targetting a win every home game . The ball is not going from back to front quick enough Vip is isolated and snuffed out . The opposition gain in confidence as a result and start pouring more men forward -result is we are fighting for our lives in the last 20 mins . Going forward (a bit too soon perhaps for tomorrow ) Having Casey in a back 3 will add more height to defend corners as well as attacking corners .I would have Samuels Smith instead of Key ; and Tymon on the other side. Stamenic in the middle with Franco and Galbraith .Wells and Vip up top , Subs Ronald and Yalcouye for Wells and Galbraith . Idah for VIP . |

I watched Preston on the w/e courtesy of a free ticket off a mate. Strong physical energetic team who like to get the ball forward quickly to Osmajic on occasions but can also play more intricate stuff through the middle . In short we will have to be switched on from the start cos if we go a goal down then it will be very difficult to get back on terms . They are well drilled as you would expect from Paul Heckingbottom . They lost because of 2 pieces of magic one by Johstone and one from Isaac Price .There was very little between the sides and if they had been awarded a first half stonewall penalty the result could well have been a Preston win. Heckingbottoms philosophy is he likes to see his teams play with no fear and take risks so our defence will have to be on their mettle.Huge and noisy Preston following in the away end too. A tough game for us for sure. |

There was one moment I think it was in the first half when Stamenic was on the half turn and played a first time ball forward about 20 yards into the path of one of our attackers. Automatically Southampton were on the back foot and vulnerable .This is one aspect we have to improve . The link up play from back to front was slow and far too predictable . People saying Vipotnik has lost his zip ?? Ask yourself why the ball if it ever reaches him is taking an age to and by the time he does get it hes outnumbered about 3 to one. We offered nothing in attack and were very lucky to keep a clean sheet. Innoussa at times was our most dangerous player but we need to transition like a basketball team on a fast break but atm we are clueless in how to do it. Thus is where coaching/training comes into it. |

They come here in droves because they think Britain is " Treasure island ". That is in fact what they call the UK believe it or not Treasure Island because we hand over everything to them on a plate. A digital ID system wont make any difference will probably get hacked anyway and will just be another poll tax moment . The public will revolt against it just like they did the last time we had ID cards . |

The reason mass migration is such a problem is because successive governments have not wanted to deal with it . If they wanted to they could solve it . They just dont want to .The present state of affairs is just the excuse they want in order to limit individual freedom even more and hand more power to the state. Digital ID the tool they will use . Digital ID is not inevitable . They can only implement it with consent and it was not mentioned in the Labour manifesto so there goes the implied consent argument and half the population didnt vote for them anyway.

If they start imposing digital ID through mobiles as has been suggested , I will , no doubt about that. |

Agree , I would put West Ham lad in alongside Cabango and see how the young fullback gets on instead of Key. Bring Key on after 60 mins. to bomb forward . Galbraith rested until 60 mins. too . We have to start using all squad members to share the load now is as good a time. |

I clocked on yesterday at approx 11 am or thereabouts , There was one solitary seat left unbought it was on the east towards south corner. That is surreal . It has to be an omen . 1-0 nil Swans surely . Lump on !! [Post edited 14 Oct 14:45]

Leicester are dangerous out wide so we will have to mark tight not give them space . Their defence is cumbersome at times Faes more mobile than Westergard so if we can move them around they are vulnerable . Yalcouye would be ideal for this , nimble , quick interplay linking with Vipotnik / Ronald. If we can keep them under sustained pressure it will keep their widemen quiet . Leicester also score late goals so we will have to keep concentrating until the 96 th minute WBA found this out -the goal coming from a low cross into the 6 yard box . Stamenic will have his work cut out stifling the forward runs of Ayew as a lot of their play goes through him . |

Certainly can't speak for Haiti at the moment but what I will say is we have to value freedom . Once it's given away it's very difficult to get it back , history has proved that . Say NO , sign the online petition and tell your friends to sign. " The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains. they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theatre.

Mission creep is what you have just outlined . Yes and those details are all under your guise and control at the moment . The problem with a central digitalised system is you will be handing all that over. Remember power corrupts absolute power corrupts absolutely. The benign bits won't be interfered with for sure but the Govt . via the banks help will be the overseers for everything financial . You will have to behave impeccably , don't drop litter or enter a bus lane 'cos it will cost you 60 quid automatically .Attend regular weight watchers classes if your BMI is too high. Don't attend? -lose your NHS privileges Similarly if you drink too much or smoke you will be blocked . You will have to go private . The govt. might decide you are taking too many trips abroad- carbon footprint too high . Blocked from flying for 18 months. Social media criticising the Government ?? another fine for not being a "useful citizen". They locked that woman up for her Southport post so don't think it won't be done. Freedom of speech ??? Starmer is a communist don't forget . You getting the picture ? You are then a virtual serf . It's Orwellian , total control over your life and your children's lives. Starmer has to get this through asap now , as he is obviously under pressure by his handlers above him . He has been taken aback by the recent 1 million march in London and the rise of Farrage . he has limited time to do Blair's bidding as he probably won't be in office in 3 years time . The mass illegal immigration is the excuse they need to drive this through , that's why it's being allowed to happen. Oh and the elites won't be affected of course only the proletariat. |

Get him running on Swansea beach on wet sand - that will build the stamina up . Him and Vipotnik could be a lethal partnership up front ............. Watch this space. Benson supplying the ammo on one side . (Ronald to come on second half with Ionousssa . replacing Benson and Yalcouye). Widdel alongside Yalcouye and Galbraith in mf and Stamenic holding. Defence of - Cabango , Burgess and West Ham lad . vigoroux in goal. Switch to a back 4 if in front second half to consolidate . Bring off W.Ham Lad bring on Tymon and Key . Bring off Yalcouye . Replace tired legs with Franco as you see fit [Post edited 29 Sep 14:48]

Defence - stop all crosses from out wide . Close their wide men down . Vigoroux come off your line quicker to any crosses in the 6 yard box . Midfield Get the ball forward quicker . Attack - Get the ball to Vipotnik at every opportunity , he will do the rest. |
