Swansea City: Luke Williams’ side have chance of success after defeat at Leeds

Remember, for example, the 4-0 home defeat to Leeds in February or the 5-0 thrashing of Southampton at Christmas 2023?

Swansea’s success or failure in 2024-25 will not depend on whether they can beat the likes of Leeds, Sheffield United, Sunderland or Burnley, even if Williams hopes to achieve one or two results against the Premier League this season. applicants.

What the Swansea head coach really wants is for his side to achieve results against all the second-tier clubs outside the top draw.

Already this season Williams’ side have come away from matches against Cardiff City, Bristol City, Stoke City, Blackburn Rovers, Sheffield Wednesday and Millwall feeling that they could – and maybe should were – to score more points than they scored.

This is an area where Swansea will make significant improvements as the campaign progresses.

And there are opportunities to improve the performance ahead, with Derby County, Portsmouth (twice), Luton Town (twice), Plymouth Argyle, Hull City and Queens Park Rangers all in the next nine games.
