Swansea finished 10th which doesnt look good on paper, but they finished the season strongly and only missed out on the play offs by 3 points

Aye.

Pace is the key thing.

Luton have it right across their team; they don’t necessarily have that much possession of the ball, but when they get it, they have an end product.

I’m not convinced at all that they will go straight back down. They will do well at home, and have the pace to hit teams on the break away from home.

Whereas Saints are bereft of pace across the team; I am assuming that Tella won’t be coming back to us as he seems to have no intention of returning.

Look how Burnley pissed The Championship.
It wasn’t possession based.

Why are Sports Republic obsessed with this style of football.
It’s very romantic but if you haven’t got the players to play it IT WONT WORK.
Look at that first goal last Saturday, why oh fûcking why!?

We have a defence and goalkeepers who conceded 1.92 goals a game in the league.
That is the problem.
73 goals in 38 games.

We thought that we had the answers, It was the questions we had wrong.
Poll: Knowing what we know now, should we have sacked Hasenhüttl?

Aye.

It’s why Warnock has been so successful in the Championship.

He knows that it is all about keeping things tight, not giving away silly goals, being tigerishly competitive in midfield, and being clinical when you have chances in front of goal. It’s not about having 70% possession of the ball.

We would have been better off with him in charge.

Poll: Does anybody think Saints can get promoted this season?

You're right. It was fast solo runs through defences, especially by Tella, like Sulemana was doing against Liverpool. There was none of this sideways and backwards passing in front of the oppostiion. They were running through them.

As Ralph is still being paid £115k a week by us till NEXT June could we simply install him as manager and save some money?

But for the people complaining about those who complained about Hassenhutl being a busted flush, what could they then complain about if he came back?

Have some empathy for these souls.

Swansea's previous 2 finishes: 6th and 4th. Then Russell Martin arrived and took them down to 15th (Swansea's worst finish in the 2nd tier since 1984) and then they were struggling in the bottom half of the table for most of this season as well until a late run took them up to 10th. They were never in the hunt for a playoff place.

His time at MK Dons was even worse. The season before he arrived, they got promoted. He then took them to 19th and 13th before he was replaced and they went up to 3rd . Everywhere he's been, he's done worse than the other managers before and after him. That is poor/mediocre at best.

As for the cups, none of his teams ever got past the 3rd round. His greatest achievement was a 0-0 draw with Eastleigh in the 1st round before scraping through in a penalty shootout.

A club of our size should be able to attract a much better manager than him.

When you loook at his record at Swansea and MK Dons, last night's result wasn't surprising. Russell Martin doesn't do cup competitions.

Passing stats. That seems to be why SR recruited him. There's really nothing else that stands out in his managerial career so far, which, in terms of results, has mostly been poor and at best mediocre.

It’s just so uninspiring. I want to puke.
