I disagree 100% To a man, I saw more magic and heart in that 10 man performance (13 with the subs) than I have seen in any Swansea side in the last 4 years. Potter and the players take full credit for being only the 2nd side to win there this calender year. The learning curve continues in the correct direction. In Potter and this young team I trust. The belief he instills....I would love to be managed by him. F@ck Huw and the Yanks, support Potters school of magicians
Still plenty of work to do on the training pitch yet. We won't do a come back every time we go a goal behind that's for sure and we must learn to start the game like we finish the game. We do look like slow starters and that must be worked on.....But apart from all that things are improving under Potts and the players and should be given credit for that....We will be ok this season with a few disappointments on our journey....
But had the Yanks invested in the side Dai, we could have more than an 'ok' season. Instead, they've pocketed £38m in profit from the sale of players, probably a good £20-£30m in the form of saved wages, plus a fraction of the parachute payments this season.
Disagree 100%.......We are a new team with new values valley and to be fair it's going very well.....Why pay out on high earners when the proof is there that we dont need too.....I the premiership we will pay a bit more but not like we have over the last 5 seasons......If we sign a player now we must ensure we control their contracts and they stay within our new wage limits whether it is championship level or in the future Premiership limits that are set.....We dont want mercenaries any longer using the club to make a load of dosh and breaking their contracts whenever they want and leaving us in the lurch.....The club has to have that power for us to succeed.....
Didn't see any of the game today, but just saw the goals on SSN. Montero, when you consider he's been a substitute coming on late in games, has been just magical. He's been the most exciting,efficient, effective player we have. If he stays in this form, who knows what we can achieve. He's like a new player !!!
Dai you make some good points but you can’t deny that a little investment into the squad would probably see us back into the premiership. I’m all for getting rid of the leaches at the club, however, we still need to have some experienced heads in there to help the squad. As I see it we lack balance with young players and experienced players. But in essence I agree with what you’re saying.
I watched the game in the club, so didn't really get to see how we really played, with people chatting, what I did see though was that Monterro for the little time he was on the pitch was outstanding and certainly made things happen, I wonder why he isn't given the chance to do that from the start, to be fair to Naughton who has taken lots of stick from me and a few on here, played well and took his goal excellently. A great 3 points.
Nope what they are starting, is to do is plan who they can make a few quid on in January and at the moment I can see a few.
You played very well with 10 men last night. This league looks wide open. I dont think theres a standout team this season and its anyones though i cant see Pulis not getting Boro to at least the play offs. Bruce will surely get the sack this week. Will be interesting to see who they bring in. I can see at least 10 teams still in contention for the top 2 come January and it will come down to who does the best business.
Serious question but what values might they be and what are our new wage limits ? I totally agree on bringing the wage bill down but we also have to sustain a presence in the football league therefore what is the happy medium the Club find acceptable. Also I note that you've not commented on how much the Club is haemorrhaging in non playing staff wages .
Very happy with the win. Millwall were awful. Quality in this league is cr@p. Half tidy team could win it at a canter.
A magic day at The Den. Even shortly after the sending off I felt we could get something out of the game because we were playing football. Millwall were terrible and it just shows that with a small amount of investment we could walk this League. Instead, we are one or two heavy tackles away from a torrid season. Our fans were superb, our players were superb, our coaches and manager were superb. As for the Yanks and Jenkins, they were left in no doubt what the Jack Army think of them.
