As good as Swansea were on Tuesday, they were bad at Birmingham, but then I suppose it should be seen as a positive that they were able to hang on for a draw at St. Andrews.
I see it's being claimed on Twitter this morning that Ryan Woods is in Stoke for a medical prior to what must be a loan until January when the deal will become permanent - I think he'd be better off staying where he is because, having blamed the likes of the departed Shaqiri for their relegation, it still does not seem a happy camp at Stoke.
I understand the mess and the troubles there, and unless major loans come in i cannot see them challenging.Originally Posted by Pedro de la Rosa
It is interesting to compare Swansea and Stokes differing starts, with 1 keeping all their premier league players and signing everyone, with the other being in crisis and selling everyone.
Problem swansea will have is when January comes around, anybody who's made a name for themselves could be sold...
Depends if they are in contention for promotion (judging from the Leeds game they won't be far away) as shirley the owners, naive as they are, will have learnt the lesson of what can happen by not stripping their assets, having the chance of getting back into the moneybags league by holding on to their best players, coupled with a bit of speculating
Hopefully not though
Back to the OP, Stoke have had a poor start and could do a Villa... or a Sunderland!
Swansea have one centre back. I'd be amazed if they're in contention unless they get significant loan signings in.Depends if they are in contention for promotion (judging from the Leeds game they won't be far away) as shirley the owners, naive as they are, will have learnt the lesson of what can happen by not stripping their assets, having the chance of getting back into the moneybags league by holding on to their best players, coupled with a bit of speculating

The championship this season is a lottery.
There will be some surprises all the way this time not like last season.
Rowett again showing what a terrible manager he is and what a daft appointment it was by Stoke.
Agree with the fact that they have not much depth and desperately need loan signings but going forward, that side they put out looked pretty good, holding the "mighty Leeds" for large parts of the game making them look average.
That performance won't do them any harm and attract interest from potential loanees and their clubs. This in contrast to Stoke.
Signings cost money, their board won't spend it.
Bolton were the worst side I saw away , closely followed by Cardiff that day . I think we lost.
I am beginning to think there may be some truth in this .
Villa didn't start particularly well last season though.
Look at them now ... Oh Yeah...
2-0. Madine scored a pen. We were bloody awful and didn't have a shot on target.
