Anyone else worried about the Sheffield Utd match ? I fear it's gonna feel like season over before we even get started.
Alfie contemplating his future: "A three year contract to go and play Premiership football and live in one of the worlds great cities or another year in the funny farm where the cuckoos are in charge. What will it be?"
It's the same as the last few years. We're never prepared for the first part of the season and are then playing catch up. Sheff Utd will be a benchmark as it'll show us exactly where we are. I'm expecting a long journey home.
Just remember this, being relegated to the Championship was a great opportunity to reward the share holders, we had a poor squad in the PL, now we are left with the dregs literally, with the season starting next week, this boardroom are lining their pockets, what's the point of the parachute payments?..........................
What utter crap......You or anyone else dont know jack **** what is happening or what the plans are at the club...
I'm worried by Potters statement saying the players lack confidence ,already FFS we've heard that crap for the past 3 years all by different managers , annoyed in the way we've been ripped apart by the yanks and ****ing tamping that Jerkins is still screwing the Club over .

That's the part that worried me also. I don't read too much into pre season friendlies, but so many defeats is bound to have an effect.
Just wish he would come out and say what we have is simply not good enough and be blatantly honest, rather than spout blarney, everyone can see how bad some of these players are.
It could be embarrassing and may kick the arses of the board into action although there will be very little time left to sort it, we will be going into this game with the worst central 3 I have seen in a swans shirt since we were in L2. the slowest back 3 If we go with a 3. so all in all I am ****ting it about this game, my other worry is we are on tv not long after and will no doubt be a laughing stock. God help us.
It’s good that there are opposite views to the majority on here to help debate. Myself, I am one of the worried ones. Since our players feeble showing in the catastrophic loss in the winner takes all match against Southampton it has been a long and painful summer for Swans fans. We’ve seen our squad dismantled whilst fellow relegation strugglers Stoke and WBA boost theirs. In my opinion the first season after relegation is the best opportunity to bounce back, after that it gets harder and harder as the parachute payments dwindle We have a young inexperienced (in the EPL) manager who has had little or no time to get a team together, whilst all the experienced players that are any good are leaving as fast as they can, seeing no ambition by the club for a promotion push. The players that are left are either injured or ones that nobody wants. We’ve had a pretty disastrous pre season culminating in that heavy defeat yesterday. Results do not matter in these matches some say. Maybe, but it’s certainly not good for moral with only a week before the first league game. During the next week it’s likely that more players will leave, so how can the manager put together a winning team. With quality incomings unlikely he’s got an almost impossible task.
