Early days, but he's starting to deliver.

Excellent football, ball on the deck, pressing high up, clearly a complete togetherness from the players. Unlike Neil, if it's not working he's open to change. Much more in tune with the fans, loved the way 10 minutes from the end he waved his arms around to get the AKTE going, then turned round and did the same to the Invincibles. Crowd responded, place was rocking until the final whistle.

Early days as I say, but could we have another Moyes/Davies in the making
 
I'm still not convinced, this Swansea side are constantly trying to play it out from the back, despite being bad at it, but credit for Frankie to be willing and able to exploit that.

Couple of fairly soft teams dispatched, but a long way to go yet.

If we continue to play football on the deck when it's not so easy, we'll get the best out of these players.

Tactically very good today. Actually last three games really good. Well done Frankie. It shows character to come back from such an abysmal start but we look good and could get better.

Yep, looking good, let's hope we can keep key players injury free. It's been a great turnaround, credit to the gaffer an the team

Hate to admit it but Maguire/Sinclair partnering Riis makes us do that. Having Ched out is helping us play to our strengths.

Exactly. When the going gets tough, will it just be a return to hoof ball?
 
The difference between the first three games and the last two has been tempo and aggression. We have played a high line and a high press the last two and looked so much better for it. Letting sides have the ball in their own half, setting traps, making quick counters. It's what we used to do under AN once upon a time.

Think DJ has made a big difference to our fortunes in recent games.
 
Pleased we've got 6 points on the board and pleased for Frankie who seems like a lovely bloke. I think we will genuinely see what he's made of after the international break with several tough fixtures coming up.

Long-term I'm not convinced he's the answer but I hope the club back him before the transfer deadline.
