Gower Happy Despite Swans Defeat

Mark Gower says that the Swans are going in the right direction despite the defeat at Norwich

The Swansea City midfielder was looking to take the positives from the 2-0 defeat at Norwwich where the Swans were beaten by two late goals.

That came after an encouraging performance that saw them dominate for long periods but fail to convert that domination into goals.

"There's a lot to take out. It's not a disappointing defeat, it's one we can look at and think things are going in the right direction," Gower told BBC Sport.

"We just need to get a bit of consistency again, we had it last year but the last 10 games didn't go to plan.

"Obviously there's not much consistency at the start of the season, but the season - apart from the results - has started well.

"Apart from the Hull game we demolished Preston and we've pretty much done the same [at Norwich] apart from the result.

"There's a game Tuesday night and hopefully we'll bounce back there.

"There's tough games every week in the Championship but it's a different story on our home turf, Swansea's a hard place to come for teams so we'll be looking to get a positive result next week"

Annual accounts show that the club will have to sell players if we don't go up
The club released the annual accounts for the 2022/3 season this week, and despite the headline figure of an overall loss of £33.7 million, we’re not in danger of any points deduction for now. But the accumulated losses mean that player sales will be inevitable in the summer if we remain in the Championship.
