    The little purple patch from the Sheffield Wednesday game papered over the cracks; they hit the bar at 1 nil and had he not won that game he'd probably have had his marching orders thwny

    What is the “Swansea Way” anyway . Ok it was a style of football that brought them success but most teams play this way these days and total football was first coined with the Dutch in the 70’s.

    You would almost think it was them who blueprinted it

    Its a pejorative term really. You could argue that we only really played flowing football under Martinez, Rodgers, Laudrup and Potter. The rest has been a bit meh. The overarching points for me were no defined style of play, a complete inability to communicate properly, the alleged 1970s training (evidenced by a plethora of soft tissue injuries), the fact that he was commuting from Cheltenham and yes, his comment about the SWD were unacceptable, not just because of the magnitude of the derby but the fact that he was that deluded to talk about promotion, we have a squad nowhere near good enough for promotion!

    I doubt the 70’s training methods would have resulted in more players getting injured though otherwise Barnsley would have been suffering from the same kind of injuries, and from what I’ve heard they were fairly consistent with the playing squad and had the same issues with injuries as other clubs.

    If it was a factor though, that’s the fault of the Swansea board.

    The Swansea way ….. they are not 1970's St Etienne

    Maybe, but then again it was a step up to the Championship and the evidence suggests he wasn't up to it.

    Perhaps Warnock's assertion that we will be shit and you'll start battering us again is coming true much sooner than expected

    You’re probably on par with us , mid table in transition. Unbelievable where you are now though when you consider how established and competitive you were in the Premier League.

    Bad luck ?

    We battered you last game, and should improve in January, get this appointment wrong and it could be the Cardiff Doube and Swansea on the brink of League one

    If they hadn’t got that late equaliser v Huddersfield they’d be a place off the relegation zone, shocking home form, no clear style anymore, got to get the next manager right or they might go down.

    You've articulated that point far better than me and my webbed hands
