Swansea v Sheffield Wednesday

[jackaway]

Swans v Sheff Wed, Wed 12 Feb, 19:45
There was huge relief and a big celebration at the final whistle on Sunday as we clinched our first win of the year with grit and determination.
The big question now is can we reproduce our newly found form for the rest of the season?
We thought we would miss Grimes, the result says otherwise.
Our 5-4-1 formation was somewhat different and it took a while for the players to get used to it.
Ronald-Cabango-Naughton-Delcroix-Tymon
Eom-Franco-O’Brien-Cullen
Vipotnik
Where does Darling fit in, back in contention for this match after his harsh red card and three match suspension?
Will the out of form Key be benched for the second match running (although he came on as sub together with Fulton, Bianchini and Cooper).
Sheffield Wednesday lost 2-1 at West Brom on Saturday with late goals deciding the outcome. Ex-Swan Jamal Lowe was an unused sub in this match, he’s scored 3 goals in 21 appearances this season.
In our reverse fixture at Hillsborough we ground out a 0-0 draw with 0-4 yellow cards against us.

Having Cooper back extends our options. Allen out with an ankle injury. Williams seems reluctant to play Ginnelly after his long term injury.

Swansea 0 - Sheff Wed 1 (Smith 66?)
Well that was a load of rubbish wasn’t it, from two poor teams.
After Sunday’s morale boosting win Williams goes and drops the two best players from that match, Naughton and Franco, and brings in the sluggish Fulton and a match rusty and ‘want away’ Darling, miffed that Sheff Utd decided not to buy him and chose another option.
Indeed it was Darling who literally threw away the match by gifting the only goal of the game, passing the ball out of defence straight to an opposing player. He did exactly the same thing first-half but we got away with it.
William’s odd team selections, decision making and tactics are dragging this team down and with the hiring of his buddy from Notts County as DoF it makes sure we are stuck with him.
An utter clueless shambles tonight and the outlook with that guy in charge looks very ominous.

There is nothing positive coming out of our club nowadays, with a clueless chairman and clueless manager what do you expect.
Another rubbish performance at home, with below average performances from Fulton, Peart Harris and Darling, just not good enough.
Our midfield was short with a back three, O’Brien on his own, Fulton useless. Darling, what’s happened to him, he’ll never get another club playing like that. Peart-Harris another one who shouldn’t be here, not good enough, thinks he’s better than what he is.
Why change a wining side, Franco should have started, why can’t he play two games in four days?
Where’s Ginnelly, he’s disappeared again, Joe Allen injured again, Pedersen injured again, is it Williams overtraining the players.
Whatever, it’s not working and fans are staying away in droves with the turgid football on offer.
It’s Williams fault, he has to go before he takes us down.

Fulton last minute goal didn’t look offside from where I was sitting.
We didn’t deserve anything from that game anyway.
When I saw the team selection I knew we were in trouble, why he couldn’t pick the same team as Sunday I don’t know.
I agree with the rest of you, Williams out and please take Coleman with you.
