Didn’t see you complaining when we were winning the last 4 games...

I agree.
Harris is tactically clueless.
You can’t keep playing 442 in all matches and today was a perfect example.

What do you expect. Our team let us down big time today and don't deserve to wear the shirt. We should have picked an eleven from this forum. At least their would have been more passion there.

Exactly and Harris can’t motivate his players in a game like this? Not that they should need motivating but that’s modern football for you.

Tactics all wrong everyone know how they play today no different! For all their controlled football it was same as most games organised and good football with us putting no pressure on their defence. Two goals both preventable again! Other than that hardly troubled smithies..... suppose didn't need to.. :o

Dont expect anything really it's been same long as I can remember.... not about passion more about man management needed changes as he knew how they played and we needed fresh legs they have fresh players because cooper picks team accordingly

They generally tend to do that against us.. for some reason we employ up an at em’ Managers with limited invention.

All that happened today is Mr Harris ran out of the luck he’s recently had. The football played today looked like two teams from different decades.

The way its going they will only want to play us in a pre-season friendly and then they will only put out their kids.

Yep and today that became obvious. Our problem is from top to bottom but when I say that no one listens.

It should be our cup final too but alas we can't be arsed. Why people think they are a smaller club than us is beyond me. Progressive manager and a squad with plenty of quality and ability to be sold on for millions. What have we got?

Are you serious?
City have players with little technical ability - Ralls, Vaulks, Morrison, Bennett for example.
City have no attacking football philosophy.
Our manager is content to bludgeon their way through games except today as he failed to see the blindingly obvious mis balance in midfield.
Harris fails to get the best out of Wilson.
4 wins in 4 do not in any way mean his job is safe; it is 7 wins in 18 and an inexcusable performance today which should count.

It is galling you see swansea appoint managers with a decent football style and philosophy.

All we get are dinosaurs.

Two fantastic away wins in the last seven days, and that good work cancelled out by a totally inept display today. No consistency from this team at all. Mid table finish is all we can hope for.

Its regarding headline win 4 games in a row lose one and you get this headline? Yes poor display but that's it just because its against them ..... what other clubs do is irrelevant as we've seen Harris tried a passing game didn't work so went back to basics hey presto 4 wins that's football :old:

the performance was almost identical to the Stoke game prior to the sending off...tbh they should have been down to 10 in the first half and had they we might well have won..

The game was as expected Swansea playing same possession football as all season city sitting back foing nothing? 1st goal crucial like the 2nd yellow card that never came! 6 shots to them 2 to us says it all about the game, and both performances summed up the teams this season.

its the biggest league game of the season for us also, the fact that they ran all over us and totally outplayed us should be a concern.

Harris is a joke. You have to be a complete novice to any type of tactical decision making to think this fool will take us anywhere.

Genuinely not trying to rub salt in the wound, but was surprised to see it was one of our easier games this season.Really expected more of a challenge from yourselves. Yes we were the better side but margin surprised me.

Not surprised having seen some of your games and commented on what I observed and gave you credit as well..... today was about two managers one getting team selection right and one getting it wrong? Yours beefed up team with more physical players ours kept a tired team because won 4 games in row good manager would have changed things around? But in some ways you were lucky that ref for whatever reason failed to give Bennett 2nd yellow after 15mins or so even you cant deny that? ....the better team won because got tactics spot on.. as for easy hard to say as like said before you play mostly between pen areas did you know 1st half eyew and lowe had 41 touches between them but only one shot on target and in whole match team only had 6 on target to our 2...... tues you failed to get 1 on target 2and half so think it looked easy rather than was? But no complaints better side won.

Yes would agree Bennett was a let off. I'm not too sure managerial blame is the answer,he can only play what his training staff put in front of him.You had difficulty on times stringing a couple of passes together.There's quite a lot I don't credit our manager for, but the training staff, yes.He then along with staff assistance puts the pieces of the jigsaw together.
