Swansea v Coventry
Swansea v Coventry Sat 1 Feb 15:00
With our fans wondering what is going on at the club with all that has gone on recently, it is ironic that our next game is Coventry, where the deserted one has run away to.
We have a new captain now in Ben Cabango, rewarded for his loyalty in signing a new contract, in stark contrast to the selfish want aways Grimes and Darling.
After the last match humiliation at Norwich we needed to regroup this week. Bringing in a centre-back who wasn not match fit and had been sidelined with a long term injury was not the best of ideas in retrospect.
Now, with Grimes gone, who will replace him tomorrow, looks like it will be Fulton.
Coventry are in good form with three straight wins previous to this match. Frank Lampard has been in charge there since 28 Nov with 3 defeats in his 13 games so far. Frank is an ex-Swans player having played 11 games for us on loan from West Ham in 1995-96 season. Two other ex-Swans return for this match, Joel Latibeaudiere and Jake Bidwell.
Our home form has been reasonable recently with a narrow defeat to Sheff Utd and wins over Luton and QPR. Come on Luke Williams, rally the troops and get the show back on the road. Good luck Swans.

Swansea 0 - Coventry 2 (Simms 17’, Asante 44’)
Such a shame, to watch how far this team has fallen.
A disjointed and unprofessional performance from our players that only recently were in fine form.
A mere shadow of their former selves, a collective shambles of a team that looked as if they had just met before the match.
Some things need to radically change and right now before the free fall stops.
An influx of quality players in the next two days, is a priority but do not hold out too much hope after Coleman has been dithering for a month of the transfer window.
A change in the Williams system is needed. A system that never works, that sees us wide open in defence, blunt up front and players selected out of position.
If he refuses to change put him on gardening leave.
The clock is ticking.

I left before the end, couldn’t watch anymore. The club is in disarray from top to bottom.
What club with any sense lets their captain and best player go in the middle of the season?

Pretty grim watching that shambles. I’m angry this morning that Coleman has put us in this situation.
The American owners have been a disaster since they bought in, getting us relegated from the PL and now the latest one is dragging us down to League One with his mismanagement of the club.
He brought in Williams on a long term contract and now can’t afford to sack him.
