Appreciate the kind words. And if you liked Jack to a King there was another doc that came out a few years prior Swansea city the fall and the rise. Pretty good one too

He probably requested the move.

We have Ayew, Montero, Rout, Tabanou and Emnes can play out wide in a pinch. Also don't forget much of last season we played without wingers in a 4-4-2 diamond

Yep you can tell he has definitely bought into the team and is a great guy to have on board

I think a lot of that has to do with monk, the whole team says that in all the interviews but it doesn't sound like they are just saying. He has them all bought into that mentality and its really paying off big time.


Absolutely. This is also why guys like Michu were cast off because they didn't put the team first. Monk has also done a tremendous job of managing the personalities of Jonjo and Gomis and turning their careers around

Yeah that was just an overall bad game. Hopefully an anomaly. 2nd time in as many games we gave up a goal just ball watching. But in all honesty Watford was the better team and deserved the points

Been slacking here lately. Good to see us actually put the ball in the net yesterday even if Kane put one in for us. Hope we come back from this international break better than we did the last.

Shitty form continues to be shitty. No real threat on goal again today. Lack of movement in the final third is astounding. Everyone just standing around watching

And Tabanou has already started voicing his displeasure on lack of playing time and wants out in January.

Looks like Monk has 4 games to save his job before the window opens although he could be gone as soon as Sunday if we get our asses beat at home. And it won't be easy:

LC (h)
MC (a)
WHU (h)
West Brom (h)

More important than the results to a lot of people right now is the performance. They seriously look lately like 11 guys out there who have never met. Getting a shot on goal seems like a moral victory as of late. Maybe we can get a surprise W like we had against Southampton last year that turned things around but I'm not hopeful.

Monk safe for another week

This stat tells the tale as of late: 29 shots on target in the first 4 games; 27 in 11 games since

Disappointing. I thought you guys were going to hire Mazzarri.

Reports this morning suggest he might not be as safe as reported yesterday. Stay tuned

Actually a decent showing on Saturday that deserved at least a point. That was the first good performance put in in a very long time. Play like that and the results will come

Huw is in South America meeting with Marcelo Bielsa. This would be a great hire. Especially when you consider the other name that keeps hanging around is Gus Poyet

Another good performance under Curt but only 1 point. That's 2 good games and only 1 point to show from it. Need the goals to start coming and getting the much needed results

Bielsa talk has cooled. Oddsmakers now have Di Matteo even with Bielsa as favorites to get the job
