With regard to the game itself, I genuinely thought we would be fully 'up' for the task in hand and our team selection would show the same intent as the Reading one
The rights and wrongs of that selection were going to be laid bare once the game kicked off and the result of that is now there for all to see; an abject performance from the Bluebirds that saw the Swans look like a decent team when they are not; just the same as last season
Six defeats in a row now tell a damning story!![]()
The Bluebirds started well and might have gone in front early on, if we had confident players in front of goal
The Swans had a penalty denied (I thought it was) and then scored a decent opener after which the Bluebirds reverted to type and into their negative shell
HALF-TIME SCORE: SWANS 1 - 0 BLUEBIRDS
Second half we started brightly again but the Swans came back into it and eventually increased their lead with another good goal and then another
The Bluebirds look lost and rudderless currently and oncecagain the manager's position will be (rightly) questioned
Will he do the decent thing; or will thr Committee make the rightbdecision this time?
They thought about it a couple of weeks ago but relented and surely they now neef to revisit urgently whilst adding more play-makers to the squad
Massively disappointing, massively deflating and massively worrying now!![]()
FINAL SCORE: SWANS 3 - 0 BLUEBIRDS

We’ve seen plenty of clubs fall down a slippery slope after relegation from the PL but this is all self inflicted mismanagement by a corporate board tinkering on a venture outside their specialty.
The only good thing is we’ve got a lot of the season left to rescue it.
Wednesday is a nothing to lose game so sack the manager now - unless he does the sensible thing and resign- and restart afresh.

Same board that has overseen two promotions to the premier league.

One promotion was practically guaranteed hence why they came in. The second promotion was down to Warnock and no one else.

Who chose warnock? Who gave warnock the money to buy the players to get promotion? Guess it was tea lady..... you cannot just say it was down to manager just because it doesn't suit people to credit owner when it goes right....but slag off owner when it goes wrong? Cake and eat it springs to mind

Warnock brought 4 players in on a freebies and saved us from relegation so yes it was down to the Manager. He then got us promoted on a shoestring and nearly kept us in the Premier with Championship players. Warnock did a Cloughy with us and yes I'll say again it was down to the manager.

Warnock was 100% brought in to firefight after Trollope and it worked...
The miracle was the promotion the season after and thatvis down to one man, the manager, partially but not wholly assisted by those above

Yes as he picks the team and tactics so down to him when it suits people .... goes wrong like now and it's down to owner as far as the mob concerned? not sure how that works but for some it does..... still doesn't answer the question how did warnock bring in players because He needed the say so of owner to bring them in but that part of the picture is photo shopped and apparently didn't happen. .

They took over May 2010 just after we bombed the playoffs that year. First full season under Tan we got playoffs second season promoted as champions. The year they took over we had a massive turnaround in coaching staff and players which Tan funded.

I'm saying we had the infrastructure in place for the Premier. We could attract the right players to the club because of that. We had to get rid of DJ as he was not up for the job. Malky did a great job building on what we had and got us there with Tan trying to take the credit by saying "It was my money". That's when it all starting going wrong.
Since then we have been heading to where we are now. It's making the Warnock era a blip, we were never going to establish ourselves in the Premier, and now we are starring relegation into League one. Trollope saga 2 shall we call it.

Infrastructure for the premier league? Changing history much. Why didn’t we get there then? Poor training facilities that meant every winter our performances dropped massively. Squad full of loan players. Season ticket money for the next year already gone.
I know you like changing things to suit your agenda but that’s crazy mate.

I talk what I see and that is we are going backwards very quickly. Why, because we are bringing in fringe players under the order of Tan. If we go down, highly likely at the moment, then Tan should take responsibility. Simple as that.
