Denham in for Flint to start with.

I wouldn’t disagree with that; particularly if Flint isn’t in the plans for next year and we need to know if Denham is good enough as a replacement, over a few games.

It's not acceptable, we used it as a holiday, with a lot of players also away on international duty, it looked like Swansea used the time wisely watched videos on our strengths (Hugill, Colwill, Davies) and must have been delighted the two weren't playing.

Morrison, I'm a fan but you messed up big time letting the players relax and it showed big time!

Drameh is asked about the international break


I’ve been going home, soaking up a bit of a holiday, getting recharged and ready to go again.

Some went to Dubai, some stayed here. It was a good break. I went back to London to see my family. Just taking my mind off football.

It’s my first time doing this type of thing in the Championship. Games come thick and fast and I’m ready to go again!

Cody Drameh

Ridiculous, while Swansea were preparing for their World Cup final, it explains a lot about the performance of both teams, Morrison you've messed up!

Swansea had a 'catch up' game, so less time to rest and/or go on holiday

I don't begrudge our guys the break, so long as they come back and pick up where they left off; which, not for the first time, they did not... :cry:

Timing was bad, we took our foot off the gas at the wrong time, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see us win and Swansea lose on Saturday!

It means so much more to them you can see that.

The away game against the Jacks was immediately after an International break result 3-0 defeat, the Home again again immediately after an International break result 4-0 defeat. For us we had a different manager, different players and different style but same result.

With the International breaks in September and November we won both matches immediately after the breaks so why play so badly on two occasions against the Jacks?

On Friday SM said some players had just arrived back and they were going to do game preparation after the interview so is it as basic as that? Poor preparation brought about by players being away during the international break.

We had 7 players away with their countries during the break, Doyle, McGuiness, Bagan, Colwill, Harris, Vaulks and Davies. Swansea had just Cabango and Natcham away.

Doyle had a trip to Albania on Tuesday, Davies had a trip to Switzerland, McGuiness and Bagan were in Sweden on Tuesday so did the travelling have an effect on them?



League tables don't lie and on the evidence of the season there was little to nothing between both teams so maybe we should cut SM some slack as compared to the Jacks he was left with very little preparation time.

Good valid point but he allowed the remaining players to go on holiday?
