BP1960 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Remember a few years ago when Swansea dominated at BP, yet somehow we won the game, could history repeat itself with the Latics going back to the Premier league again in a matter of a few seasons ?

petelatics Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Our football was really a joy to watch. Just need to be more clinical in front of goal - it'll come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latics_Fanatic Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 There's always a chance so we need to believe. One point from last night, we play absolutely great football on the deck, we become unplayable in large parts, but as soon as it goes in the air, we lose all momentum because no-one can play a decent enough long ball OR no-one can pick them up in attack. Let's continue to play football how it should be played, on the deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudemedic Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Swansea Council also built a brand new stadium not long before they went upFTFY Swansea's ground was built by the local council in time for the new system in Welsh Rugby, with larger regional Franchises competing in Europe and then against Irish and Scottish franchises. Bit like Huddersfield's ground. Swansea also benefitted from a steady stream of investment by a man who is worth comfortably more than Koucash and our landlords combined.

pukka Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 More like the new Aston Villa (from last year). A young side, plenty of good play - ultimately not enough savvy or brawn for success. Some big wins, some big defeats. Manager sticks to his principles and there is an overall sense of optimism the year after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24hoursfromtulsehill Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) Swansea had a plan, whereas - God love Corney - we don't. We're living a short-term, hand-to-mouth existence. Swansea also got bankrolled, meaning among other things they could tie players to long-term contracts. No doubt the majority of our players could play higher up the leagues. Some could even play premier league (Tarky, on last night's showing, definitely could). Will we keep them that long? Probably not. Will someone else (Dickov) come in and get them for a song and profit in the long term? Probably. Swansea (erm...sorry about the formatting) 1 Dorus De Vries D 15 Dennis Lawrence D 5 Alan Tate D 14 Marcos Painter D 22 Angel Rangel M 7 Leon Britton M 18 Andy Robinson M 26 Paul Anderson M 8 Darren Pratley M 4 Kristian O'Leary M 6 Ferrie Bodde F 9 Jason Scotland F 11 Darryl Duffy Edited September 10, 2013 by 24hoursfromtulsehill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Will someone else (Dickov) come in and get them for a song and profit in the long term? Probably. So far, despite his best efforts Dickov has signed a grand total of 0 ex Latics players (Furman was already there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24hoursfromtulsehill Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 So far, despite his best efforts Dickov has signed a grand total of 0 ex Latics players (Furman was already there) Wellens. (Sorry. That's unreasonable and pedantic, but none the less true.) Bigger clubs than Donneh will be in for some of our players before too long. When Lee Johnson says he has "no idea" how he got Korey Smith, he's probably not being entirely frank. He got Korey Smith by saying, "You'll get games for us and someone will come in for you. Look at what happened with Dean Furman. You're twice the player he is" and so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
