Swansea City : Swans injuries are so concerning, Malick Yalcouyé update
at 07:28 9 Aug 2025

If we sign this striker and Yalcouye, we’ll actually have a very strong squad once the injuries clear up. All we would really be missing is cover for the fullbacks.

We may have a tough couple of weeks while it comes together, but I think we’ll be looking pretty solid before too long.

We don't need a striker from elsewhere
at 06:05 9 Aug 2025

Slightly off topic from those goals, but I read the ‘owners update’ yesterday. A very positive communication, mainly talking about the transfer window and the new season.

But it did also say they had run an analysis on how many players were breaking through versus the cost involved in the last ten years and that they had begun early explorations around upgrading back to category one.

It didn’t promise it would happen and did kind of imply that it would be a long way off if it did, but very encouraging to see that it’s at least on the agenda.

Nobody on here calls themself an expert. It’s just a sarcastic label given to people who can articulate an opinion on a player by those that can’t.

Shut up and see how he does? Yeah that’s pretty much where we’re at. We just have to hope he’s improved over the summer.

You didn’t answer whether you’d be happy with the same again from him.

I agree. Powerful shot with little backlift on either foot. He’s probably the only player in our squad that could have scored either of those goals. Also agree McBurnie couldn’t have done it either.

If that’s all you can come up with though, you clearly don’t rate him particularly highly. Two good goals isn’t a lot really is it?

Appreciate off the ball movement may be a bit beyond you, but have a look at this his. The striker you were so happy went to Hull. The goals aren’t as spectacular as the two you mentioned, they don’t have to be because McBurnie is intelligent enough to consistentky put himself in goal scoring positions.

Not to mention he can head the ball, competes physically with centre backs, drags them out of position and drops back to get involved in the build up.

This is what reserve keepers are. Woodman has just gone to Liverpool, what is he third choice? Scott Carson was at Man City for years.

Having two strikers, one of whom is more of an all round attacking player than a striker and injuries to our first and third choice centre backs are a worry. I’m really not bothered who our backup keeper is. We’re not going to sign a world beater to never play.

They are a docu-series as much as they are a football club. Interest in them will be massive this season, but as soon as they start losing as many as they win, people will just find something else to watch

I think the championship is their ceiling to be honest.

I think part of it is players and fans thinking they are Premier League players playing in the Championship, when the reality is they are Championship players who have spent one season of their career so far in the Premier League.

Not necessarily attributing that to Ipswich this season, but it’s quite common.

I’ve been WhatsApped the petition for an immediate general election by three unrelated people today.

Won’t happen, but the fact it’s gathering traction is a decent indicator of the mood in Wales and beyond.

Thing with that is no keeper who is good enough for the Championship will want to be a number two for a Championship team, as they’ll never play. They are much better off playing every week in league one.

You’re always going to get a young up a comer, a veteran topping up his pension or a keeper who just isn’t very good.

If it’s any consolation, most of our peers are in the same boat.

Can’t really disagree with that, he could be great overlapping Inoussa, but defending is his main role and as you say, he can be a weak link.

A few mistakes in pre season

Someone will come in for Hutchinson surely.

Delap has already gone. Not saying I think they’ll tank, but I’d be surprised if they were top two

I think 9th is about right to be fair. Nowhere near relegation. It’s a stronger squad than finished last season.

If we do bring in the striker alluded to in the reports as easily good enough, there’s no reason we can’t make top 6.

I can see Ipswich struggling to live up to expectations. Most people seem to think they’ll be automatic.

Only saw the second half, but based on that it would have been a very sobering game for them. Easily outplayed by one of the teams likely to be near the bottom.

Disallowed goal
Hit the bar
Full back could have been sent off

But more than individual incidents, they were just the weaker team. Going to be a long season for them

Yeah, you’re probably right. I was just amazed at your comment. I assume you’ve seen them both play plenty of times?

So are you going to tell me what you see in Vipotnik then? I’ve asked you plenty of times. Or are you just going to hope he comes back a better player like the rest of us?

Would you be happy with same again?

They’d have to be seriously bitter Newport County fans.

Morecambe fans , as it stands, are losing their club. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.

So do we all. If Vipotnik turns into Piroe, we’ve got a great shout at the playoffs.

We can only judge on what we’ve seen so far. Maybe you’ve seen something in him others haven’t and have just chosen not to tell anyone what it is.

To be honest, I would feel pretty similar if Moore and Cullen were our striking options two days before a season started.

All he’s got to do is master the basics. It’s just a question of whether he can. Most do it years before they make the first team.

On the ball, he’s pretty decent. Off it, he’s abysmal.
