Swansea City need to improve a lot to get promoted

Swansea City head coach Graham Potter has told Dai Sport that they need to get a lot better if they want to challenge for promotion next season.

Though some might say they have done well considering the financial problems which have been dogging them, this season will be seen as a disappointment by many. Instead of challenging for an immediate return to the Premier League, they ended up toiling in mid-table for most of the season and failed to have an impact even on the race for the Sky Bet Championship play-offs.

Potter was asked about next season and he has told the press that he knows they need to improve a lot going into this year. However the challenge is going to be holding onto their new star young players such as Daniel James and Oliver McBurnie who may be sold to try and ease the club’s money worries which will make Potter’s job even harder.

He said: “Tenth is where we are, we were not good enough to get in the play-off positions, but we have taken steps and improved,”

“But we still have a bit to do to say we are contenders.”

“It’s been challenging, we have had a lot to deal with but we have made steps. The young players have made their first steps in professional football.”

“We are among the youngest in the EFL for games for players under 23, so there is a foundation there and the style of how we want to play football has got better as we have gone on.”

“I think April was a result of that process where we got results and ended the season in a good way.”

“We have remained unbeaten – even though it was difficult after the Hull game to keep the levels high knowing we were out of the fight – we have to have a rest now, recharge and go again.”
