After a half hearted attempt to kick the habit a few months back that only lasted ten games, we've been progressively falling further further back under the influence of the demon hoofball as the season has progressed - none of this fully explains why we go to pieces every time we face the jacks though, even this season we've beaten much better sides than them.
And the attempt made under morison was never going to work, it was a reaction rather than a thought process. The club is lazy and it takes the lazy way out, time after time. We have two people in choo and Dalman who have no idea of what is needed, everything they do seems to be a reaction. We also seem to have plenty of fans who go along with shite hopeful football and see it as some kind of badge of honour, i don't know why that is-Is it social, demographic, historical, something to do with the make up of south wales, hard work, just get on with it, graft before guile?Idon't know, bit there seems to be an acceptance towards playing a style of football that even in the past 5 years has fallen of the proverbial cliff.

If we as a club carry on in the way that we are, then we are ****ed,because we are on the slide. Stagnation is the best we can hope for. Plenty of other clubs bring players in with potential and make them better, or improve young players who possess ability, we do neither, you could argue that we make them worse. There's a fundamental problem at the club and i'd say that it's the people or person who runs it, and He or they have got themselves in such a mess that turning around and starting again isn't an option anymore.

I don't rate Swansea, but one thing they have been decent at is improving players and making a profit on them. I don't rate Perry Ng or Wintle that much either, but i reckon that if they had ended up at Swansea then they would now be better players than they are with us, in fact, i'm certain of it, because both of them have a touch, and in wintle, he does have the ability to play with his head up. If he was playing for Swansea yesterday then i reckon that he would have murdered us with short passes and little movements to create angles etc. He doesn't have a chance with us. Something has to give.
