Swansea created the blue print for a passing championship side

So what did they have that we are missing at the moment?

It takes time. Swansea spent years at the top of league 1 before pushing on into the Championship and then beyond. We still need to evolve the squad and it does take a bit of time. Ironically, I actually think Ryan Harley could have a part to play next season. It takes time, remain calm, we ARE getting there.

 

[One Love]

A change of pace and tempo.

To be fair they went up via the play offs, who is to say we won't make the play offs this season? Once your in them anyone can win.

Jean Tigana's Fulham whipped the championship playing pretty football long before Swansea!!

 

[Stat Brother]

A midfield.

Swansea lost football matches too. Who'd have thought it!?

 

[Trigger]

A plan B?... Attackers playing in attacking positions rather than being asked to defend even though they are crap at it?

It also took them 3 seasons from winning L1 to get into the championship play offs...

I'll tell some people some other facts as well,

in 2009/10 (their 2nd season after L1) they finished 7th, and only scored 40 goals for the entire season.

in 20010/11 when they won the play-offs, they lost the most games of the top 6 (14) and scored the joint lowest no. of goals (69).

They played at a higher tempo, had a great mix of pace and creativity in midfield and strikers who took their chances.

 

[Glenn-Murray]

The divisions best hold up player (Danny Graham) and forward (Scott Sinclair). Nobody else even came close to them when they were on form. Their style of football wasn't the main reason they went up, it was the quality of their squad. Their midfield was tough and hard to break down, but they also chipped in with a lot of goals (Darren Pratley in particular).

2 wingers just like Reading last season.
