Forshaw has pleasantly surprised me the past couple of games, but he can't be relied on for the rest of the season. Baradji is being rotated, I imagine due to his previous injury, so I'd expect that to continue. I'd keep Gardner Hickman if only for the fact he can play a full 90 minutes and hasn't seemingly been injured much this season. That's not me advocating his ability as a player, more that we have others who are worse than him and a few who can't string together 5 games without breaking down.

"it seems complicated" That's either lost in translation or the statement of a man out of ideas.

We don’t see him day in, day out, so when we do and all you see is hands in his pockets, head down and a blank expression, it doesn’t exactly paint a great picture. If that’s what he’s like all the time and he was my manager, I’d be sprucing up my CV and quietly looking for the exit. I'd have more sympathy for him had he not come out with the same claptrap as the higher ups.

Looked well offside. But again, we've not looked dangerous at all this game. I'm not one for using one stat to paint a picture, but our xG over the course of the past 6 games is dire, I haven't gone back further. 0.5 xG this game.

Agreed, a poor indictment of our summer transfer business in that area, but he does seem much better alongside someone like Tronstad than as a replacement for after 60 minutes.

I think the plan is in possession, they want alebiosu to act as a wing back and cashin to drop in to left centre half and form a back 3. Then alebiosu to drop in and make it a back 4 out of possession. Although he's had a couple of forays forward, not playing with real wing backs feels to me like it stunts Alebiosu's best traits.

These days, when clubs and managers talk about a “striker”, do they just mean anyone who can play anywhere across the front line, whatever the system? It feels like that must be what they mean now, because Cleary isn’t someone I’d describe as a striker, neither is Jorgensen. The term seems to have drifted from “proper number 9” to “forward” and it makes it hard to know what role they’re actually recruiting for.

This lot would probably use the free version of ChatGPT to save a few quid.

Everytime VI comes on the screen I dislike him just that bit more.

He's uninspiring and that's putting it lightly. Stood there looking pissed off and disinterested all the time. I wonder how demoralised the youngsters are, getting game time but like lambs to the slaughter all being shoved on together.

Who are you and what have you done with Mercer? Don't tell me you've switched to white too?

After they scored, Swansea looked horrific. To be fair they've looked average throughout. A better team puts us to the sword before that Jorgensen goal. Great play by Powell for the equaliser. We look dodgy as anything when the ball gets into our 18 yard box, no-one is convincing and no-one wants to get near the ball.

There's a few reasons I completely deleted my Facebook account recently. That post only makes me feel more vindicated. It reads like someone who may have started with a post 'in their own voice', then used AI to help them polish it, only to then get annoyed at the end of each paragraph.

As a few earlier have said, I meant Warren Lucy.

Warren Joyce steals a living.
