O/T:- Swansea

[SmiffyPie]

It's suicidal to play against a PL team like this

Not much choice if it's the only way the coach wants you to play. Defence? Nah!

These travelling fans need to be given their money back, an appalling half of football, no direction, no effort, half hearted front men and the passing from the back as bad as we have seen in years.

Completely rudderless on the pitch. Embarrassing.

Said he could be out of a job before the end of the season. Takes time to implement a style. Something fans & Owners don't have time for. Believe he will regret this. Time will tell

Said to my Bro yesterday that installing his methods from scratch would take a long time , he was a fair way along the line with previous managers input at Notts, & I doubt if Swansea's owners or fans will have the patience, pity if true because he will make a great manager in the long run.

If he wants to become a great manager, he’s going to have to start understanding the importance of the defensive side of the game as well. Coming across as very naive at the moment. This is what he said last night:

Swansea head coach Luke Williams on S4C:

"It was a horrible night for us.

"I apologised to the players as I tried to set up the team to cause a problem for the opposition. Because it's a cup game we have to find a way to win the game.

"I got the balance wrong, too many players in advanced positions and in the turnover too few players to stem the attack and the opposition were very good.

"It was very difficult to get near their goal and in the second half we tried to limit the damage because the scoreline was too heavy. We were playing against an outstanding team."

The game was watched by the board with Nathan Jones sat with them... Is this Swansea's Kewell moment? Spend a chunk on compensation and then move on almost immediately?

Just watched the highlight, jeeeeeeeeez it was like watching Notts defend! Loads of players not tracked and left in loads of space. It was so easy for Bournemouth. Swansea fans saying they need 4 at the back not 3, sounds familiar.

Williams is an intelligent guy so he will have learned lessons. However, there is one commodity that he may lack to come back from this: time. If he's still at Swansea by season's end, I'll be amazed. And suppose our 'experiment' with Maynard goes wrong, would we want LW back?

The thing is sidders he hasn't learnt. He is now doing at Swansea the same thing that cost us so many cheap goals at Notts..

He had a full pre-season when he arrived at Notts.
Then when anyone new came in they weren't seen anywhere near the team for 3 or 4 games.
A lot of what LW was about was repeat, repeat, repeat until it became 2nd nature.
His new team needs time before anyone can judge.
Only thing is, will he be given the time?
