RM is a bold and progressive appointment. As was Potter. Difference being, GP had a better squad to start with. And financial backing with parachutes. Both brought identity, many others didn’t. Cooper included. I’m all in with this. RM will get it right. Patience needed.

Nothing I’ve seen since August makes me question this project. We have a very special & ambitious coaching team under Martin on a brave quest to restore a total football to these parts. No parachutes left. Financial restrictions owing. Let’s be patient & together with them.

Russell Martin is the right man for us. Unquestionably. We just don’t have the financial muscles to transform this squad quickly. It will take at least another two windows to get anywhere near the new identity. Unlikely to go up or down. Patience needed this year folks.

No passion. No energy. No identity. No buy in. Swansea City under Michael Duff. Disastrous appointment. Moving so far away from the progress of the last two seasons. It’s not working. Powers that be. It’s time to hold your hands up.

Little under the radar, Flynn Downes was superb today. Felt it was an utter steal when we got him. But my god, he is exceeding expectations. Terrific all round midfielder - with a little steel too. A real winner. PL beckons, in time.

Overlooked by many is the fact Russell himself is still learning his trade. Yet doing it all with a young squad playing total football on a limited budget. What’s being achieved this season is incredible. Culture, playing style, attitude, all heading in the right direction.

The Paterson situation has killed us in the last third. Smith filling in, Piroe looks isolated, Ntcham’s continued issues with injuries. And Wolf having barely kicked a ball in Germany this season now thrown into a new league. Lad has a lot to answer for.

Performances are understandably frustrating. But losing Russ would be a seismic blow. We have a very young, hungry coach. One devoted to evolving a possession-based football - under shackles. Mistakes will be made. Stability on the field is key during a turbulent time off it.

Ethan Laird out of contention again for the Cherries. Always felt it was shortsighted of Utd to pull the loan in January. Suited our attacking wing back role, perfectly. Little way to go to convince as a top full back in a 4. Pity for him, but Cyrus has been superb for us.

Totally disagree with this call. As it seems Russell does too. Morgan was thriving at Argyle. Value increasing, confidence building. He was happy there. Whether for footballing reasons or player trading, this is shortsighted. Timing is wrong for all parties.

Unbeaten in 9 games. Out scored everybody in the division over the last six. 12 goals in all. Most in open play. That’s significant. Conceded 10, however. The back three needs major surgery. Expect us to add the right profile of centre back(s) come the summer. Then we fly 🦢

Buoyed to learn of credible interest in Patrick Roberts. Not surprised - and spoken of this player before. It’s a logical step - an absolute bargain on a free - for a left sided winger-come-10. Journeyman who at 24 needs to find a ‘home’. Parallels with Routledge 👍🏻 #Swans

The window will play out, granted, but with Christie and Wolf in the side we walk that today. We’ve gone back to an ineffectiveness on both flanks. Carbon copy of B’burn away a year ago. The ball kept being transferred sideways in midfield time and again against the low block.

I’m sorry, but this is beyond repair now. Cooper’s lost it. The system. The players. The future. Forget our league position. Time to think sustainably.

Paul Watson needs to be firmly under the spotlight now, IMO. Sheehan taking on far too much focus.

A loan move for Carl Rushworth is astute. Let’s hope this is more than speculative journalism. Buys time to get Benda back up to speed, provides stern competition for Fish, and we get an excellent young keeper in the short term. Last loanee keeper did pretty well …

I genuinely feel Cooper is lost now. Out of ideas as to how to pick ourselves up, move forward, and start finding the net. The players don’t look convinced anymore. No structure. No pattern of play. Long term signs not looking good.

Both Liam Smith and Kristian Fletcher deserve cameo integration for the first team. I don’t buy the narratives of them being too young, inexperienced. If your good enough, your old enough. Made for RW & LW in this new system.

AMAZING SWANS! 🦢 That’s the blueprint. For players and fans. Imagine this football (and that support) week in week out for a playoff push under Luke next season 😮‍💨👊🏻

We may win this game. We may not. But this is dire, Swansea City. We’ve regressed massively. Any kind of entertainment has now been totally sucked out of this team by Duff. Players, head coaches. Nobody is buying in 🦢

Special mention too for Ben Hamer. Made crucial saves tonight and in the derby. Difference maker. Moments change football matches 👏🏻⚫️⚪️

Lots of debate on the Darling-Piroe substitution. It didn’t help, but not the deciding factor, IMO. 2nd half switch to a back three was telling. Gave up far too much in behind our wing backs. Chong had a field day. Lati injury was pure bad luck. Lessons to be learnt.

Dust settling. Tremendous piece of business. Profile is fantastic. Athleticism, physicality, progressive. Transforms our back three. His competence with the diagonal ball will revamp our attacking transitions to counter. Haven’t had that since Ash. Welcome @HarryDarling10

Huge statement that from our Swans under the lights. Fitness levels improving. Identity, very much emerging. Onwards and upwards. Patience is paying off, big time. This is the start of a real project under Russell Martin.

Thought Pato was excellent today. Gave real cutting edge. Could have had a hattrick on a different day. Grimesy a cut above in midfield. So consistent. Desperate for a quality partner. Tymon growing every week. Looks full of energy & drive on our LHS 👏🏻

Let Charlie do damage in the 10 role this weekend. Allen & Grimesy perfect double pivot to back him up 🦢

Messrs. Richards & Toshack deserve great credit for today. Been honing a footballing style in the U23s that dovetails GPs philosophy. Byers, Rodon, CBR, Fulton, Byers, Roberts. All distinguished themselves 🙌🏻 #Swans

2-1 up. On the front foot. Then, Connor on for Garrick (as opposed to Dyer or Kalulu). Then injury time knocking, Wilmot on for the energetic Gallagher. Sums Cooper up. Final score. 2-2. Fucking useless. NB: Freddie made a brilliant penalty save too. Could easily have lost.

Much will be made about how limited Utd were today. But what about Brighton. Played a fast tempo possession-based game. Expansive. Countered well. Defended resolutely when asked. And Sanchez made a massive save at 2-0. Brilliant. This man is doing a phenomenal job 👏🏻

Patience delivered today against a stubborn H’field outfit. Fantastic form continues. Switch to the back four has been massive. Bringing the best out of our young defenders. Delighted for Russ and co. Strong end to the season so important to set the tone for the summer 🦢
