Three angles to a managers performance.
Team sheet Tactics Substitutions
The team sheet I wasn't so negative about, bar Vokes. Through the backline and midfield I thought it had balance, if a little weak. The front pairing was awful. Tactics wise he got it so wrong. Started on the back foot and never got out of being on the back foot. Substitutions came far too late, albeit bad luck with the keeper sub.
Say what you like about this manager but these kind of performances are in his locker. Awful football, the kind of football I slated when Tony Pulis turfed it up and frankly, the kind of football I never want to see at my football club.

0. He won't learn from this. Because he doesn't. He keeps doing it. Changing a winning team on the basis that he needs to rest some. We all know that Saturdays team would have won tonight. This Manager is an embarrassment to us. He will not get us promotion because he is too cautious. If the crowds were in, he would find out from them that he isn't doing it for us. Far too negative.

Probably for the first time since he’s been here he’s thrown in the towel before a ball was even kicked.
Hopefully he will treat it as a kick in the bollox that he doesn’t want to experience again. Pick your best team, pick your form players, show some fucking ambition. You can see that some of this squad should be nowhere near the team unless there’s no choice surely????

Cheers, I was too pissed off to start the thread honestly. That interview about collecting points had me worried already, you have to grab a game to win it. Like you say, weak tactics, poor selection, just couldn't see the quality tonight. Hopefully lessons learned but I'm not liking this pattern of one bad, one good but then slides straight back down again, lessons really don't seem to be staying learned. 4 from me

1 - More very alarming stats, I am giving him a mark because he got them showing a bit more effort second half – none of the performances this season are leaving me with a warm glow though – we look a shocking outfit.
2nd best to every ball, zero effort in the first half, no bollox anywhere, not a solitary chance created, just a gutless performance throughout. The commentator on now tv said Swansea have just been a hell of a lot better - and we know they are a better team than us, but we have at least got to try and put in a tackle.
I fear we are in for another long season.
Tymon just not good enough at this level, Obi is a liability, Gunn is Butland mk2, we needed upgrades in the centre half position pre-season and got zero, we now have inexperienced youngsters or journeymen in that position.
The manager just sticking men behind the ball hoping not to concede tonight – not going to work against better opposition with the lack of quality in that defence, zero attacking intention, no progressive play or any ideas about how we are going to attack teams – all very depressing – we just waved the white flag tonight

0. Everyone on this board knew as soon as the team sheet was named that it was a woeful selection by the manager. The only person who thought it was good was the little devil inside MoN's head.....'go on michael, vokes will be your saviour, tommy will be the marauding wingback, dont forget chester fox, the finest centre backs will defend your stoke castle, go on Michael....gooooo' i'm going bed!

0 - Team was fantastic on Saturday and 48 hours later its the total opposite. Gregory would have been better up front. Fletcher brought on far to late to make an impact.
Put all your strikers on the bench and you will get 0 shots on target. Exactly what happened tonight.
The shit starting XI was probably the Swansea pre match pep talk. “Look at this boyo! All their best players on the bench!!”

A big fat zero tonight, confusing and confused line up, zero tactics, tardy substitutions and zero skill and flair in the side. He seems to do this now and again and I would like not to see it anymore. He's better than this but he surrendered the game to Swansea before kick off. The defence was awful, one paced and unbalanced, the midfield shambolic and rudderless but mostly bypassed. Wing backs didn't to seem to know where or who they were playing for and the least said about the attack the better.
We have the players to pass and move but there needs to be a pattern and purpose and we need to start retaining the ball and using it as an ally rather than the enemy. We seem to have little feel for it, nobody asking for it or moving to receive it. So static, god knows what Powell thought sitting on the bench, we sorely missed his vision tonight.
The team, shape and tactics O'Neil bought to the table tonight left him few options to put it right as it was flawed in so many areas. The result was predictable as was our play.

0. Couldn't have got it more wrong if he'd just picked the names out of a hat and played them anywhere. Got absolutely everything wrong with team selection and tactics, bar playing Davies in goal.
It's a little worrying because this kind of thing is happening far too often this season. 2-0 on paper looks like a regulation away defeat to a decent side and not too much to worry about but it masks just how poor that actually was. There simply has to be a huge improvement at the weekend. Swansea aren't Liverpool, we can't afford to just throw games at this level.

0 it was shocking...but that he didn't change it round was absolutely dog shit. Why not change the formation and put 1 or 2 subs on at half time or early in the second when it wasn;t working. Just unbelievable his reaction.
