Swansea city face their one of their biggest task ahead trying to stay a second season in the top flights of English soccer. They are the first team from Wales to ever play in the Barclays Premier league and last season they managed to stay in the top flights against all odds and pundits against them, however they managed to stay up due to their FANCY FOOTBALL, PASSING ABILITY, BELIEVES, SPIRIT and most important TEAMWORk
Flying Swans
Swansea started their campaign of to a dream start scoring 8 goals in 2 games and not conceding, and for the first two weeks they were the highest they have ever been in the BPL. with new signings Michu, De Guzman and Florez, the Swans seemed to be in charge and ready to fight
Falling Swans
However this dream start came to an end when they drew 2 all against the mighty Sunderland then losing to Villa the following week that resulted in a stint of three consecutive losses including a shocking home performance against Everton and an away game to Peter Crouch and Stoke.

The question can the Swans return to winning ways or was the dream start a fluke, one thing is for certain that the Swans are not gelling like a team and that is one of the KEY ingredients that Martinez, Sousa and Rodgers managed not to lose
Now from a PR point of view. What are the implications for a team if they do manage to fall out of the Top flights. We have seen many teams fall out and return soon after and others once they have fallin they struggle to get back up and thus taking many years to get back into the BPL or never get there again. The reality is that life not in the BPL you do not have the publicity as you not in the most watched league in the world, you lose fans, lose sponsors and more thus causing a loss in revinue and causing you to lose your key players as you cant afford them.
From a fans point of view what do you think are the implications of life not in the top flights and how many years should it take you to get back
Firstly I would like to say that it is a very good written article but I However do not like how you ended it. Im not critising your work I really enjoy it but do not like the way you used your words in the end. Now the Swans impressed last season they played attractive football with the weakest sqaud they did not have depth in players and had to get by on what they had. They did not have alot of injuries last season that helped them alot. However because Laudrup as limited the squad those injuries seem to be their downfall already. I do believe it is important for them to get to winning ways but relegation does not seem possible for them as they can bounce back
ReplyDeleteSwans seemed to start of good very good indeed, it hover baffels me to why the drop in form. the games they have lost where against slightly better opponents but not that good as to them getting trashed. I do hope they pick up as they bring something new to the BPL. Its very important to bounce back otherwise you lose many of your key players, look at Leeds they never got back and now are a struggling mid table team in the Npower Championship, a team that once contested for the premiere league title
ReplyDeleteI thank you Girlwhoknowsall. I will defianitly look into that for my next blog. Me being a Swansea fan myself have started to worry abit with this form yes it is early stages but no one likes losing. I do disagree that Laudrup has made the sqaud small as these injuries and suspensions have caused some problems. With your post Thomas, Leeds was a very good PL team and they proved that if you cannot bounce back you will struggle in the years to come
