    Couple that with a short lived change of manager. Who in hindsight looked a poor choice. And hey presto.
    A young team in disarray.

    Could be a long drawn out end to the season.
    We need to make a good choice coach wise. Especially since we'll most likely lose Clarke etc.

    Maybe the data driven plan and model needs looking at too.
    It seems to be falling short of the five year premier League target.

    this is where our “execution” of the model falls down. Players only really develop playing in a good side. And if you only sign developing players they’re less likely to be a good side. We won’t make a profit on the likes of Ba unless he’s playing in a good side, rather than dragging an average one further down.

    We need fewer developing players. But we for some reason seem to treat the transfer market like we are playing football manager

    We're going to need a couple of worldies to get anything from this game because we're allergic to being in their box.

    We could do with bringing Hemir on to give us a presence for Rusyn to play off.

    Mundle finally on for Styles. Nice to have an actual winger playing on the wing

    Rusyn is causing Swansea some problems, time for Hemir to come on to give him a hand

    We just don’t trust subs. Didn’t under Beale and it doesn’t seem to have changed.

    Adil, Hemir and Rigg on for Ba, Jobe and Neil. If we're keeping this shape, Rusyn goes wide

    Probably going to get pelters but **** it, thought it for quite a while now so not knee jerk, Speakman can piss off for me, apart from bringing Clarke, Roberts etc in, in league one btw, by and large he's been ****e. But gets the label of some recruitment maestro for some reason. Just not having the bloke.

    Not impressed. Slow build up. Look even more so as a one man team without Clarke. Dodds took too long to change the formation when it was obvious we had problems. Neil, Jobe and Ekwah terrible, probably in need of a rest. Hard hat on for incoming abuse.
    So much for Dodds saying we would we attacking. Keep these tactics up and our caretaker will be sacked
