Spurs all over jacks

I always said the Europa cup would mean that Swansea tire in the second half of the season through fatigue and injuries due to the early start.

It was an advantage for the first ten to fifteen games though, so you should really be a few more points ahead by now.

Luckily we both have a good run of fixtures over the next three months, so I think we will both be ok, there are other teams in the bottom ten with much tougher fixtures.

All the injuries came in the league not in europe though mate. 9 players out will affect any team at any level.

Yes but the xtra games cause the injuries

Exactly. What a dope.

They were pretty much all over us for 90 minutes as well.

Yeah but we dont think we are the Welsh Barcelona

Im not trolling anymore. I am just telling it as it is. If fans cant deal with that then stuff em. The truth hurts sometimes and thats life.

Well if you can stick to that then you will become one of the posters I look forward to reading from. Today you have been the good Barnett, the last few months have not covered you in glory.

When you post sensibly you are an asset to the site. No question.

I honestly think we're both going down and the FA are not doing either of us any favours. We both get allocated rubbish referees and rarely get penalties given in our favour. You may win the Europa League though. I think your style suits you better there plus massive European clubs are likely to underestimate you. I think as Fulham proved a few years back, in that competition any team is there for the taking. I think we're both getting relegated though most likely along with Fulham. I would not be surprised if Fulham were rock bottom, then us, then you.

I have absolutely no concerns about relegation what so ever. Would have no issues admitting it if I did.

Michu, Canas, De Guzman, Hernandez, Dyer, Vorm all to come back.

Thats half our side.

Plenty of jacks have criticised the performances of several of the above mentioned. Plenty of you were telling us its not a team game anymore, but a squad one

Plenty of me? There is only one of me. Nobody speaks on my behalf but me.

It is very much a squad game, especially when you have many games. When you have to change half your side at once however it is never going to end well.

Dyer, Canas, Hernandez and De Guzman have been excellent when played and also Michu has been great when played in his correct position. Vorm is the only one I would say hasnt played well, but he has been carrying a knock.

Quote (Castro): "Plenty of me? There is only one of me. Nobody speaks on my behalf but me...

Well, that's not strictly true, is it?

Not on THIS Forum, at least!

Ffs do y u lot realise we have 8 players out

Ffs do y u lot realise we have 8 players out

All teams have injuries thats the point of having a squad.

And as Roathie, NJ,etc were keen to point out earlier in season when we said Europa could effect your form you have 2 teams worth of quality players that you could field so the injuries excuse doesnt wash I am afraid,

Yes we do you absolute crabstick.

Indeed, but when you have all those players out at the same time it means you are flogging the same 11 players. Combine that with the run of fixtures we've had (Everton, Villa, Citeh, United, Chelsea & Spurs), it's hardly surprising we've struggled to pick up points.

Fair play you're full of rubbish.

Earlier in the season it wouldnt bother you when players got injured but now its happening you come out with some tripe being it because of those specific players.

Fair play. I wish there was a dunce hat smiley because you and crabsticklad69 would get it all the time.

You twist things. its a shame you don't have a brain like scotsjack.

NJ73 was on here pre season boasting about squad depth and how they had 2 squads of equal ability & enough squad depth to adequately cover both competitions...

What happened?

One or two injuries wouldn't bother me. 8 or 9 first team players at the same time are obviously going to have a negative effect.

Try taking Marshall, Medel, Mutch, Noone, Campbell out of your side for a prolonged period. How would you get on? And that's just 5 players.

They're full of crap Barry and have been caught out. Cue Roathie coming into the thread now to save these two plonkers. It seems Del Boy has left Rodney and Mickey Pearce behind in this thread.

As I said in a previous post, having 8 or 9 out at the same time, particularly in the centre of midfield, means you've got to flog the other players. Combine that with the run of fixtures and obviously it results in a poor run of form.

It's not rocket science.

You stated earlier in the season injuries wouldnt bother you as you had squad depth. Clearly you have been proved wrong. You're struggling massively and basically you are playing in the middle of the park but not creating. You lack penetration unless Bony does something out of the blue pretty much like us. Thats why you're struggling like us. Bony is pretty much the difference between you and us and why you are 3 points above. You have no squad depth at all.

But you said you had 2 squads of equal ability... So why not play the other squad?

Or, do you now see what bollocks you were spouting?

You obviously are having difficulty understanding the difference between having a couple out and almost a full team out.

You also appear to be ignoring the run of fixtures we've had which has coincided with this. Strange that.

Show me where I said we have 2 squads of equal ability. 2 squads good enough to compete? yes. But having practically one full team out means the rest get flogged.

And again, you seem to be ignoring the fixtures that have coincided with the injuries. If we'd had the run of fixtures we've got coming up instead of the ones we've had this conversation probably wouldn't be happening.

You obviously haven't got 2 squads good enough to compete though, as you are not competing.

You havent got a full team though out 6/7 of the 10 outfield players today are in your best XI

You obviously haven't got 2 squads good enough to compete though, as you are not competing.

Against the teams we've had to play recently, it's quite possible our first choice 11 may not have picked up any more points than our threadbare side has done.

JDG, Hernandez, Michu, Dyer, Canas & Vorm would all be in the first choice starting 11.

As I said in a previous post, try taking that many key players out of your side for any sort of prolonged period and see where you'd be.

Curse of sky strikes again! Still not won a sky game this season!

Yeah that's what it is, you're camera shy

Rodney and Mickey Pearce = NJ73 and SL69.

Thats all there is to it.

Vorm has been out if form this year and Tremell is an able back up.

So is Britton for Canas, and JDG wouldnt start ahead of Shelvey,

Add to fact Canas and De Guzman have not been out for a prolonged oeriod of time (1 and 2 games respectively) and you sir are talking through your arse.

You are missing Michu big time, without him you are just another average side in this division battling relegation along with 10 others.

It's nonsense like this that ruins threads and discussions.

Your first choice have hardly been pulling up trees either.

I think you're in the relegation battle & getting out of Europe must be a priority for you.

Passing along the back 4 for ages doesn't mean your playing better spurs are playing better football not just pass pass pass

Must have had 8 shots from 80 yards then

It's nonsense like this that ruins threads and discussions.

Its twisting squirming Swansea fans that ruin this forum. Rather than admit you were wrong you just make up more excuses. Your squad has no depth yet you claim it did. Now you've been proven wrong you just say 'didn't expect this many injuries' well in response I say you're very naive because look in the past how many injuries sides have had such as Arsenal who've had title campaigns derailed by them. Come on NJ73 you are cleverer than that. Why twist things? You're turning into Roathie when he's bad. He's actually been okay recently so lets not have you turn into what he was by twisting things.
