The way things are

I'd say we all need to start supporting the Swans so that they take points off all of the teams around us to help save our bacon.  

There is every indication already that we will be relying on other teams slipping up, rather than having our destiny in our own hands......bad times!

That is a dangerous situation to be left in when relegation is the potential outcome.

We need to be far more aggressive and high tempo in our approach and play with a high defensive line. I think that if we were hassling the opposition as soon as they get the ball and keeping it up for the 90 rather than sitting back and being conservative we would be much better off.

...and abandon having a lone striker- we haven't got the players to pull it off at this level. let's go back to having two up top and at least give ourselves a chance

That is the way we have played at times against the better PL teams and we have looked good.

...because we play a high tempo so they don't have time to settle. Against lesser teams we stand off them, which allows them to play the way they want.
