Damn shame. Oh well. I did think we'd finish above Cardiff but not now They've hit form at the right time.
Bloody poor performance, Could not score a goal even in 9 minutes of added time ........ to make things even worse. Bloody Cardiff. win. What a bloody day.
Well that was a total waste of time. Clueless Cooper showed his mettle today. Having played against Jones when manager of Stoke he knew what their tactics would be...wouldn’t he? No pace in the first half and not much better second . Our players seemed to be treating the game as a training exercise. Very disappointing when compared to last weeks showing. Maybe Luton wanted it more as the sayin* goes but sorry where was the pride from our lot? Rant over for now and I missed the first twenty as I couldn’t get the bloody computer to work...bad workman blaming his tools eh....
Last week raised hopes and expectations, this week was a kick in teeth again. I actually looked forward to todays match whereas last week I paid very little attention. The game seems soulless without fans - and if you're stuck with Swans TV commentary then it just makes it torture to watch. I just wish it was mathematically impossible for us to make the playoffs so we can give up hoping.
Cooper is inept tactically. Nathan Jones may have failed at Stoke but he has out-coached Cooper on three occasions this season. Problem is we have no money to get shot of him. In my view, Birch and Leon would have done better appointing Cooper to run the Youth set up and promotzing young Toshack to the top job ..... That said, if we have little or no cash available, I’d rather we’d have gone for the likes of Rangel...
The problem is we do not know what s going on behind the scenes. Are the players revolting against Cooper and Marsh? Or are they just not good enough...though the nucleus of this squad played well under Potter. I can’t believe the conspiracy theory that the club do not want promotion as that is what all clubs strive for surely.At least make some effort innit!
The Club / Owners would want promotion as it is the Yanks’ get out of jail card ...... Personally, Cooper cannot plan tactically against the opposition in advance, and his substitutions over the season have demonstrated that he can’t react tactically during a game ....
The players never give respect to the bottom teams they should, it's a flawed mindset, and down to the manager, call it arrogance if you will.................
Also, how sensible was it omitting Celina from the match day squad for 'tactical' reasons? He could have had the skill and nous to have unlocked the Luton defence .....
Gents, The manager does not know what he is doing so,this passed on to the players.He hits it lucky at times. Youth team coach and that is all. I have said before,You pay peanuts you get monkeys. I rest my case. Sorry if I offend anyone in this offend culture. Gin time.
But apparently when he applied for the job clueless said he had seen loads of dvds of the Swans and knew how they played....was he bull ****ting or had he managed to find films of the Swans sides of the mid 70s?
Why is Celina so out of favour ? Has he upset certain people. Even when he is selected it is not in his best position. ......... He would be in my squad now that extra subs are allowed. .... wonder what is going on.
It would appear that toys were thrown out of pram when subbed against Preston I think and since then clueless hasn’t played him even though he has class....gone this summer
Celina and Rodon are to be sold: similarly, Roberts will gone if a sensible offer comes in .... Leon had his reasons for walking away .....
