Great start to the season for the jacks

[UNDERHILL1927]

Personally I think unless some of our youngsters step up, the Jacks will finish well ahead of us.

We have the lowest passing success, lowest dribbling and lowest movement stats in the league.

That will catch up with us as teams mitigate our set pieces and double up on our only quick player in the team, Giles - who could be recalled in January

Of course I am praying that the youngsters step up and the likes of Evans, Colwill, Harris and Zimba get more game time which will add more energy and guile into the team, but it is a big ask. Also I get the feeling Mick would still rather start with 10 defensive players and one striker on the pitch, relegating the youngsters to the bench.

As for the Jacks, while they have a much smaller pool of quality players than in recent years, reluctantly I would say that they still have much more pace and creativity than we do.

Quite easy to argue that ever team in the league has more pace and creativity that we do 🤣 whether that automatically translates to winning football matches is the issue.

Their manager has a great track record possession wise but limited success on the pitch. "The Swansea way" may well be their downfall if they're not careful.

I said the other week that if we have any success this season it will be because we 'bludgeon' our way to success... it won't be delicate, nice, pretty or attractive.. but I just don't see us being able to compete.



As for the Jacks I suppose it depends if they don't get out of the rut quickly enough.
