I've not commented on the last two seasons games, but I would like to thank The Bluebirds for putting this clown another step nearer the exit. Quote from Michael Duff a couple of weeks ago, "the local derby result is not important". Well, most of my Bluebird pals have a sense of humour, so enjoy. 😂

Didn’t he say he wasn’t bothered about the derby and was focused on promotion? You need to give him time.

Yet, by Swansea standards, he’s been given a lot of money to spend on players. I’d not seen the jacks play this season before yesterday and thought the criticism Duff was getting was the normal stuff from their fans getting all precious about how their team has to play the beautiful game or else, but, having now seen them in action, I think getting rid of the manager is not as unlikely.
Although I’ve given City terrible stick after the three previous matches at our ground, it has to be said that Swansea were good each time and also that they played bravely. By contrast they started last night as if they were playing, say, Leeds at Elland Road not a team with a woeful home record over three seasons that probably had a complex about playing Swansea. It’s hard to see what Duff is trying to do with Swansea apart from break up a style of play that bore some relation to the one which gave them the best decade or so in the club’s history.
Hastening. It's 'hastening'.
Like many others last night I was stuck in the car park for a while but had to chuckle when some fans spotted Duff getting in his car and chanted "your getting sacked in the morning" before a couple of stewards got the fans from around his car so he could drive off.
I take it he was driving back to Cheltenham...Quote:

Lowe has quality and I've seen Fulton play very well against us - they're a better squad than they showed on Saturday, but, mentally, they looked shot in a game which they're usually really up for, it's a cliche, but the term "lost the dressing room" springs to mind.Quote:

Agent Nathan Jones incoming to complete the job of taking them back to their rightful place in the football pyramid…….:biggrin:Quote:

How many retirements would that be?Quote:

Swansea look like they're stuck between what the manager wants and what the fans want. It is a very dangerous place to be in, where the manager is compromising on his principles. It was a bizarre appointment that's turning into a horror show. He can't do what he wants now, as he will just get sacked as the fans will turn further even if he gets a backs to the wall 1-0. Such a shame.
Graham Potter is out of work,would be far better to have him back in charge.Quote:

Grimes looked like a lost child against Rambo and Siopis. Bet he was pining for the days of Pack and Vaulks.
Martin seemed to set up Swansea to Grimes strengths and he looked very tidy for it, especially against us. No where near that sort of level on this seasons evidence.
Would love N.Jones to go there :hehe:
Reckon he looks at himself as premier league manager these days not really league 1Quote:

To me, that was a sign of weakness, they're their to work, the pitch is theirs, as soon as they set foot on it.Quote:
