It’s very sad to see the demise of Swansea after such a fine season, where they’ve fallen at the final hurdle. The way they are playing at the moment is relegation form, make no mistake, and fans are wondering just where the next win is coming from.
Unforgivable tactics by the coach in the latest defeat, matching Birmingham’s head tennis, instead of passing our way through their big defenders, not changing formation to counteract their high press, not using subs until too late, then playing out for the draw and caught in injury time with the second penalty.
Monday we go again at home to Preston, another side in trouble at the bottom of the table and another opponent with a new manager to uplift them.
Will Cooper finally start Whittaker up front and rest Lowe, who hasn’t scored in 16 games? Will he use another formation as every team now knows how to high press us and stop our wing backs? Will he rotate the squad this time instead of selecting the same weary and unenthusiastic players?
