Personally, I don't think it has too much to do with a slight change of position. I believe it's more down to him playing fewer matches through injury and not taking the penalties now, coupled with the team generally being poorer in attack as a unit in recent years.
Do you remember his penalties? They were poor, he used to strike the ball close to the keeper, they went in, but we're far from convincing. Although I like Joe, he's done well for us and no doubt the club have done well for him.

I think poor is harsh he struck in some decent ones. Far from convincing fair enough.
Put it this way if we have a penalty last game of the season to stay up I hope Ralls is on the pitch because I wouldn't want Callum Robinson taking it.

A Cardiff boy, now Swansea's captain.

His departure has been greeted with dismay by supporters, and indeed by his colleagues. In fact, the suggestion is it's gone down badly with the rest of the squad.
Insiders who witnessed his farewell at Fairwood on Tuesday have painted the picture of a tense atmosphere within the camp, with some first-team players understood to have been angered by the timing of his exit.
One source claims only three players actually spoke to the outgoing captain before he left. Brilliant :hehe:
To lose your skipper midway through the season is always a blow. To do so when you're trying to turn around a run of form that's yielded just one point out of a possible 15 is something else altogether. Superb :hehe:
Those assessments are understandable. After all, Andy Coleman himself once said that the sign of a good window was one where Swansea ended it stronger than when they started. At the moment, it's hard to see how that happens, particularly after losing someone of Grimes' calibre. Tidy :hehe:

The player they have signed has to be loaned back :hehe:

Will he play? I love how badly they turn on anyone who leaves the place, I guess he only spent a mere 10 years there. Lovely people
Re: The Sinking ship down West
Why do they take it so badly when a player leaves? Nothing but vitriol, we seem to be the opposite. https://x.com/onlyswanss/status/1885...LTsVTx09ZSEfIA

I don't think it sounds bad either.
I've never really heard that re.Ledley. I was disappointed to see him go, perhaps more than usual as he's a Cardiff lad etc, but I had no qualms about him wanting to go to a massive club like Celtic

Didn't he let his contract run down so he could go on a free ? City missed out on a big payday. I think that had something to do with it..

Yes, though I found most of the ill-feeling towards him for that tended to be on here and not among other fans I know/knew at the time.
Re: The Sinking ship down West
FAW looking at getting the residency rules changed so Grimes can play for Wales according to WOL. Swansea fans will love that.
Would make Ralls eligible too.

Re: The Sinking ship down West
It's a funny old game, a change of Manager and things are looking a bit better down there again, but how long will it last? if they stick with him and the players get comfortable, will he drop off next season, almost certainly?

wish our club captain would get a bit more recognition
I bet Coventry fans are gutted they didn't sign Ralls instead of Grimes.
