Match Thread Swansea City - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 19th Aug (14 Viewers)

[Macca]

Dominated them for large periods, just lacked a clear cut chance for a goal. Signs are looking good for this side, still need a Hamer replacement and a couple more, and I think we'll be safely in the play offs.

There were some decent crosses that we didn’t attack but I think Wright may just be getting use to the speed of the game. Tats should start from now on he will feed the new boys when they hopefully click

It's beginning to confirm that some of our buys have been a bit rushed. Dasilva has a mistake in him every game. I'll give Simms more time given his lack of starts in the 2nd half of last season. Saka easily knocked off the ball but more importantly Eccles Cake cannot cover for Gus. I'm surprised that we haven't brought anyone in this week if we had someone lined up

I'd agree that I am not sure about Dasilva, but his signing has been planned since January hasn't it?

 

[Frostie]

Did we boss possession?

They had better chances

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Sky very impressed with us but it was a woman watching

We are three games in for fuck sake. It takes players time to adjust. Some of you haven’t got a fucking clue

 

[shmmeee]

Other than his habit of letting his man in behind I really like Dasilva. Very assured in possession.

 

[Tommo1993]

Surely people didn't pay £33 for points?

I am personally aware of a couple who did. It’s tragic. What a waste of money.

I think so but I prefer Bidwell already, Dasilva could/should have cost us against Boro

 

[gspotgaz]

That was like an end of season game with nothing on line… zero creativity or much will to win from either side

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Will take the point today, anything more would have papered over cracks in the squad, one injury and we're down to playing Kelly.

Think we also showed enough to say we can be a force in this league if Robins gets the 4 players he wants.

Think today also puts an end to the people saying Eccles can step up into the central midfield role on a full time basis.

Is it a full moon tonight?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Also confirms just what yok and Hamer offered that most championship players don’t

Wish I did

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Saka was stand out for me. The guy is so versatile and he created that first goal for us.

 

[Finham]

Yeah I really rate Bidwell!

 

[procdoc]

He really is a clueless moron

Dream on. Very disappointing today

Assume you are joking?

That's a bit "other than his habit of throwing the ball into his own net, I like our new GK"

“I’ll give Simms more time”

I’m sure he’ll be relieved as anything that you’ve decided to give him a chance

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Sorry I recognise and am gobsmacked no one came in last week I see no evidence that we are not attempting to get deals over the line

Wasn’t trying to suggest we aren’t, clearly are, but we seem to get very focused on one target at a time as opposed to 3 or 4 per position.

Clearly thought we’d have Kitching in by now

Barnsley having priced us out, let’s see what happens next.

 

[pusbccfc]

That's mental. Don't understand that at all. If you've paid £33 a ticket, you may as well go.

 

[steve101]

I think he holds onto the ball too long, inviting pressure, when there is opportunity to pass it quicker.

 

[Matt smith]

Agreed

feel he takes a touch too many at times though

 

[procdoc]

So it doesn’t take a group of new signings time to gel? You really are a fucking dimwit

 

[Tommo1993]

Wish I did

Promised myself after that farce last season that I wouldn’t dare bother again!

 

[Matt smith]

Really hope the right back is ok he looked good today

I’m more frustrated at the injuries and state of play if squad and maybe I’m putting my frustration on the performance

we were ok and a draw away is fine

 

[Speedie's Head]

So it doesn’t take a group of new signings time to gel? You really are a fucking dimwit

I'll take that as a compliment. Oggy not saying anything much different just now

 

[Tommo1993]

That's mental. Don't understand that at all. If you've paid £33 a ticket, you may as well go.

If you’ve £33 to just burn like that then you have too much money. Hope they can’t afford to eat this week.

He played there loads last season when we were unbeaten! Madness.

 

[Boicey]

I guess we missed Palmer's creativity today.
Maybe just playing him half and half with sakamoto is the best we can get out of him when he comes back in.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Assume you are joking?

Which bit??

 

[Greggs]

Really hope the right back is ok

You get a 'like' because you called him "the right back" and couldn't be arsed to google how to spell his name. He looks quality

 

[The Philosopher]

They've been in the door 5 minutes for fucks sake.

They are not youth players or lower league 500k gambles. They are marquee signings at big money.

They have potential but my point stands:

They are not the finished article.

Wright needs a few months to get to grips with off the ball movement/ tracking back and positioning.

Sims needs address whatever issue it is that makes him look like he’s playing with a piano on his back.

I’m not saying “bin them, they’re rubbish” just it’s clear that they are not the finished article and they cost a lot of money.

Just that.

 

[SBT]

“I’ll give Simms more time”

I’m sure he’ll be relieved as anything that you’ve decided to give him a chance

Not sure he’s ever going to recover from today’s warmup tbh
