    Confirmed (Finally): Russell Martin appointed Saints manager

    7 months on since I wrote this. I'd ask how he's faring but I think it's quite clear given your insane unbeaten run and league position! Glad to see him succeed and definitely confirms that it was never a Martin issue at Swansea - as some fans would claim and amazingly still do - but more of a...

    Transfer Rumours Summer transfer rumours 2023

    My two penneth on Wood from a swans fan. He reminds me of a young Ashley Williams when we first signed him from Stockport. Strong, decent with his feet, but clumsy and very prone to a cock up. If he develops anything like Williams did then you'll have a hell of a defender on your hands...

    Confirmed (Finally): Russell Martin appointed Saints manager

    Credit where its due, since our relegation they haven't put a foot wrong with the appointment of managers. We've had Graham Potter who took us to the playoffs. Steve Cooper who took us to the play off final, then Russle Martin who got us back to playing with the identity we were used to from our...

    Confirmed (Finally): Russell Martin appointed Saints manager

    Yeah pretty much. Although we had signed Piroe in the same window as Oba. By the time Oba joined at the end of the window Piroe was already on 3 goals in 5. No one really expected Piroe to be as good as he was. Took Oba 9 games (some of which he started ahead of Piroe) to get a goal in late...

    Confirmed (Finally): Russell Martin appointed Saints manager

    Right, can see here there are still conflicting opinions so hopefully this will shed some light on Martin as a manager. First of all I just want to say I have no bitterness to him leaving. I actually expected a lower level prem club like Bournemouth or Palace to come in for him as I believe he...

    Match Day Thread Swansea City 2 v 0 Cardiff City

    But then with mostly the same players (primarily midfield) was the football that much better under either Potter or Cooper? Id argue worse. They were just better at getting results. And look where they both are now. For me we are limited by the players available to us and each manager for me is...

    Match Day Thread Swansea City 2 v 0 Cardiff City

    I'll be honest I agree with most of what you are saying here in that the football isn't as good as it was under Martinez or Rodgers. However I don't think that's down to Martin, the quality of our team now for me is no where near what it was back then. Rangel ahead of Sorinola, Ben Davies or...

    Match Day Thread Swansea City 2 v 0 Cardiff City

    Phil I have to say I can normally see where you're coming from with most of your assessments, but for this I just can't. We have won 7 in 9. That is not down to luck or slow play. That is purely down to tactics that have won out on the day. Have your opinions on how we play by all means, but to...

    Good game gents. We won it in the first half as you didn't seem to be at the races. Second half you were much better and could have pulled it back but overall I think we deserved the win. Best of luck for the season

    At this point it's got to be some sort of mental block. Never witnessed a side so capable of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

    Steve Cooper --- Mr. " embarrassing ".

    I remember a thread a while back when people were calling for his head. The question i put in that thread was; were we where we were (playoffs) despite Cooper or because of him. The general consensus was despite him. I think tonights result and our season has finally put that argument to bed...
