I am sure it will come good but it really is lovely to see them doing so badly right now. Hopefully he is unemployed by November and has f**ked his career for good.

It was a difficult night for new Swansea boss Russell Martin, who is still searching for a first Championship win at his new club...

"Overall I am hurt, I am disappointed we lost and the manner of the goals.
But let's put it in perspective: we have played against two teams who are going to be right up there;
we have 12 guys who are 22 or under in our 18; we have been in the building two weeks yesterday."

A few choice comments from the HYS so far:
Quote:
Hah swansea are just awful.
Quote:
Keeping the ball for no other purpose than keeping the ball.
Quote:
Swans a work in progress, lots of young lads, not sure the 'pass about the back' tactics worked
Quote:
Looking forward to more drivel from Martin about why they lost.
Not quite got them firing to the same kind of form mk dons stormed to 13th in league 1 with
Quote:
Poor management from Swansea board will cost.
Jodie Morris was the correct choice, with his knowledge and access to Chelsea academy and wider premiership academy players.
We have bought into league 1 manager with the view to next season in league 1.

:lol:

More choice comments being made... :lol:
Quote:
Trust in the process!!
Ask yourself what does Russell Martin and his staff know about players above League 1 level......
Also ask yourself what's good with possession football in your own half, except to make mistakes and hand the other team goals on a plate.
Finally not many shots on goal with Russball is there.......You might win the possession percentages, but you won't on shots or matches.
Quote:
Simply passing the ball never wins games.
64% possession to what end purpose?
Swansea have been really, really poor thus far.
Stop making excuses Russell; if you don't get the ball into the opposition penalty box and create chances, you're never going to win games!
Quote:
Wow!
Awful.
This team will be relegated.
Quote:
...not great for Martin to claim that we weren't far off Stoke.
What planet is he on? Should have been 6 for Stoke...
Quote:
Trust the process guys, it will come good.
It takes about 10 games then you finally get an away win.
To be fair to Russ he has taken on a hell of a job with little prep time.
Stick with him and if you stay out the bottom 5 half way through the season he will start to get you results.
:lol:

Graders a terrific player who made us money. I didn’t believe Teine would be an upgrade but I wouldn’t swap him for Scottie

Swansea will eventually click and start to gain traction, just like we did under the snake at the start. If he gets that long, that is.

Same with Ipswich, I don't know what is going on there with all the talent they have, but whether under Cook or a new manager they'll eventually click and be up there at the end of the season.

But for now, it's nice to see them having a hard time after jumping ship so easily, especially the snake.

Feel a bit sorry for Dean Thornton - he genuinely seemed to enjoy it here and I think would have liked to have stayed. I know it is his choice at the end of the day, but he has to show loyalty to the snake.
