Reply | How do you assess your feelings towards the club and its majority owners

Second paragraph agree completely with.
Do we know what the owners expectations of Sheehan are? After the K and L selling off the silver era, he’s been backed to the hilt. Probably way more than any of us expected.
At the same time, they will know how hard it is to integrate so many players into the side together.
My guess is he’ll have a pretty demanding remit and expectations will be much higher than they were for previous managers. |

I’m convinced that if these guys had taken over from Jenkins and Morgan, we’d never have left the Premier League.
The difference since Levein and Kaplan left is staggering. |

Plus our high profile new owners have been brought in for a reason. Increasing our fanbase outside of Swansea and presumably securing more lucrative sponsorship and commercial deals play their part in having more money to spend.
Utterly hypocritical I know, as I want Wrexham and Birmingham to struggle, but I’m fine with us looking outside the traditional way of doing it. |

There’s not a single player I’ve seen so far who hasn’t impressed me. Haven’t seen Santos and Widdell hasn’t quite got used to the intensity yet, but there’s been promising signs from him. Malcouye as well I think will have a big impact once he gets used to having less time on the ball.
All the others have fitted in seamlessly. Quite an achievement when there are so many of them and the existing players have to get used to half a new team.
Based on that, I’m hopeful Idah and Benson have been just as well researched and will fit in just as easily. |

Not whether Hartson could finish with his left. Whether he used to score goals like Vipotniks on Saturday. Running wide from a central area, behind the defender so Inoussa could play him in, then shooting from an angle. Hartson may have scored goals like that, but it was far from his bread and butter.
The bullying defenders thing is exactly why Hartson and Shearer are such weird comparisons. It was a huge part of both of their games. |

Yes I’d agree with you on that and I’d add Stamenic. We dominated midfield yesterday and we dominated it after they came in against Watford, after being outmuscled in the first half. That gave Inoussa a platform.
Also agree on Vipotnik. Two weeks ago I’d have said Cullen, but Vipotnik has been so much better since then, that there’s not even a question of which one of them should start now. Sheehan publicly said Cullen had the shirt not long ago. I’m sure he’s changed his mind too. |

Yeah agreed. Three goals in eight days is brilliant.
Piroe generally did a lot more than just score, he even played behind Obafemi for a while, but yeah there were some games he didn’t do a lot in a popped up with a winner.
As I said, if he hits Piroe numbers we’re flying. |

Your third paragraph made me laugh fair play. By superficial points, you mean things you don’t understand until it’s been explained to you.
The Inoussa point is fair enough. If you’ve got someone driving at a defender, Vipotnik can make a run outside him and have the ball played in front of him, which plays to his strength. If he can get a shot away, on either foot, even from a tight angle, he’s got as good a chance as anybody. We need to do more of that because it works for him. |

Reply | Sheffield Wednesday v Swansea City : Match day thread
at 09:46 31 Aug 2025
I think you’ve misunderstood me on this one. Our team is way better than under Martin or Williams.
The point I was making was that Sheffield Wednesday were very weak yesterday. You asked why I hadn’t said that under those managers and I said because they hadn’t just lost half their first team on frees at that point.
Nothing to do with comparing the respective Swansea teams that played them, but yes I agree, we have a much better team and a much better manager than we did then. |

My guess is the last week will have caused Sheehan as well as Montague to have second thoughts on that. |

Of course I agree with that.
Find me one post where I’ve said Vipotnik is solely responsible for creating his own chances.
I shouldn’t need to explain the bit in capitals but... He made it easier for them to create chances for him and they duly created more.
You’re too intelligent to have interpreted my post the way you just presented it. Very poor post by your standards. Disagree and put your own opinion forward but don’t resort to trying to twist my words into something I didn’t say |
