    Sticking with him for so long has cost us any chance of survival in the Championship. Our fitness levels are so poor, confidence very low, good players completely out of form, they've had weeks of just playing without any strategy or desire, it'll take the new manager weeks to get anything out of them.

    If the new manager sticks to his principles I doubt that this current squad are capable of possession football so looks like a car crash. Hope he realises what he's got to work with isn't great, cuts his cloth, 4-5-1 defend and play for set pieces. If we keep on losing like the ground will be as empty as lockdown come Jan.

    What happened to new manager bounce? Swansea were so poor first half and we failed to capitalise. Bet Hull and Cardiff won't lose to them.

    Think the rot has set in deep and there is nothing to inspire a bounce. What a shocking way to run a football club.

    I'm at a loss as to why we let every bit of experience we had exit the club this summer after such a good season. At least stagger it a bit.

    Schopp didn't create cowards. There are players hiding in plain sight that need dropping.

    Well, they weren't "saleable assets" for one.

    We managed to avoid the wholesale total squad change by avoiding the drop when Struber was here. Had we gone down then, I'd hate to think where we would be.

    We do seem to have at least staggered some playing contracts now. And we should have been in a position to really push on. And we did.

    But what's the point. No point exists for any improvement, because it matters not one jot in layering or staggering contracts.

    It's clear. We are only interested in selling. And if we can't sell, they are out the door anyway.

    So, I guess we better enjoy the **** we are seeing. Cos it's here to stay

    I'd rather drop Helik, Moon, Brittain, Styles and Woodrow and go down blooding some under 23's having a go. As apposed to waiting for them to come good. I can select an 11 without them.

    They weren't cowards last season. Schopp might not have done that to them, but somehow the club has.

    They're cowards pure n' simple. Hiding behind a game plan. It was plain to see tonight that they downed tools and offered nothing after Morris was fouled.

    You can't do that. If Swansea had wanted they could have had a cricket score tonight.

    They went through the motions. It's on them from now on for me. They mugged Asbaghi off.
