“We always felt that we would get better as the season went on,” said Taylor of the Swans’ Premier progress in their debut year.
“All the time we’ve felt we were building up momentum.
“I saw the table the other day and from the turn of the year, we are actually third – that’s something that shows progression and that’s all we ever wanted.
“We know as a group that we are working hard every day and striving hard to do better.
“But we also know that if you don’t win a couple and others do, you can go from eighth to 15th within a couple of weeks and then you are having different conversations.
“We are not going to win every game between now and the end of the season and we have to be realistic about things.
“That’s why there has not been any talk of Europe, there honestly hasn’t.
“The number one topic all season – even around January and February when people said we would be okay – has been about staying up.
“That’s the main objective. Maybe next year, we can set ourselves a little higher target.
“This season we just have to stay in the Premier League. So we are still are at it as we were in September.We have not got a group of players that are happy to just sit on what we’ve got. That’s the beauty of our team.”

Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and
wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.
Swansea reject Cullen contract and trigger one year option Liam Cullen has had his request for a new contract dismissed by Swansea City after discussions broke down last week. The lowest paid ‘senior’ player at the club ( he is twenty five) asked for a better contract increasing his £3,500 a week to around £7,000 a week over three years.
Sam Parker hasn’t turned down a new deal, he is willing to negotiate He was a revelation for the Swans for the few games he played this season, and now it emerges Sam Parker has ‘turned down’ a new Swansea City contract. News is thin on the ground, and some of it just incorrect as he looks to involve his representatives in some further negotiations. Plus his current contract runs for two more years.
Swansea City : The vision is clearer, so Jamal Lowe ? There were some worrying moments for the Swans yesterday, on three occasions mistakes from playing out from the back nearly saw the home side score. And is there now a case for Jamal Lowe to be offered a contract at Swansea ?
