    One of the best games in a couple of seasons (imo) was our seconds v Man City's £400 million team
    We lost 2 - 1 but put on great performance.
    Oh for stats like these when we play their city counterparts.

    Hi guys, haven't been on for a while, just struggling with the way the board are ruining our club at the moment. Anyways my Garden Village under 19's beat Llanelli town under 19's 4-3 with a last minute screamer. Our reward for winning that game is a home tie against Swansea city u19's. Going to be a very tough ask for my boys against the side that has won this cup for the last 8 or so years so I am told. But they are buzzing and cant wait. As I have said to them, you cant lose guys and enjoy the experience.

    Dyer in contention for Huddersfield.
    Hopefully he'll play and last the game without injury.
    For this game I'd really like to see all the old guard back.
    I don't believe Clement can get us playing football well enough to win games so IMO our best chance is to go for passion (as Curtis and Guidolin did) and play Rangel, Britton, Routledge and Dyer with Bony up front and Abraham also wide.
    I know many don't rate Routs but he's head and shoulder above others at the moment.

    Fab
    Rangel Fernandez V. d. Hoorn Naughton
    ..............Britton......... Fer
    Dyer ...............................Routledge
    ......Abraham
    .......................Bony

    We should have another manager sounded out by now but we know the way Swansea works arse backwards and will get rid before finding a decent replacement....(not that any good replacement would work with such an inept chairman and owners anyway)

    Stumble on tip Christmas and Leon will take over as caretaker.

    He won't be the answer now Bob we need a much more experienced manager, Leon needs to manage and learn in the lower league first...

    Hard choice for Clement to pick a new number two ... Dick Advocaat is also available.

    I can only comment on what has been served up before me so far this season.And,that is not good enough.Does not fill me full of confidence.
    Hang on!
    What am I babbling on about?
    I witnessed the same last season.
    Olde age I guess.
    But I still know its not good enough.

    Personally I'm disappointed because I was very hopeful of what Clement could do when he came in, but I don't think he's got what it takes, with this squad & at this time, to improve Swansea City.
    I don't expect the club to sack him but do wonder why it is not being discussed and or considered?

    By this point in the season it was obvious Monk (as much for the way we were playing) had lost the plot and the dressing room - his demise was well and truly on the cards and openly & widely discussed. 9 points 11th
    By this point in the season Guidolin had been sacked having been widely criticised, discussed and predicted for weeks. 4 points 17th
    By this point in job it was obvious Bradely had lost the plot, squad and fans and his demise was well and truly on the cards. 5 points from his first 7 games.
    By this point in the season it's too early to talk of relegation and Clement will turn things around!

    Agree with most points except Monk lost the Dressing Room and it is too early to sack Clement.....Earlier the better if we are going to try and save ourselves as its plain as day that Clem dont have the skill to manage a premiership club..A poor one at that....

    We will be at the mercy of the yanks then for definite<grr>...How can we trust people that likes to sell off our best players and weaken us so much that we are one of the favorites for relegation.....You would think after last season they would plough money to improve the squad......I would not trust their intentions at all as it is all about making money for themselves where they have pocketed millions already....Until we see what their long term plans are that is signed and sealed then the council must not sell them the lease as we could see the lease being sold on to a major supermarket chain or something else.....
