Nathan Dyer believes that he can score more goals after opening his season with a brace at QPR
He said: “I don’t think I have scored two in a game since I was about 12. I was really pleased to score and pleased with the chances I got. I was getting into the box and trying to hurt defenders.
“I know can score goals – I’ve been scoring goals in training.
“I didn’t really get the chance to come inside (last season) and I’m right footed playing on the right so when I do come inside I’m on my left.
“This year the gaffer wants me to come inside more and get into the box, that’s benefited me and I’m pleased with that.
“The manager reckons we’ll benefit from the wingers playing slightly closer to the striker and personally I agree. We can make runs and passes rather than being too far away.
“It’s just a question of getting in the right areas and having confidence.
“I need to make sure when we’re attacking I’m in that area because if you’re not in the right area you can’t score.
“Michael was a great player in his time so the knowledge he’s going to bring to the team is going to be phenomenal.
“We’ll learn from him, that’s what we’ve been doing in pre-season. We created a lot of chances against QPR and we took them.”

The fate today’s Swansea footballers would never have to endure Swansea City bring this season to a close on Saturday with a home game against Millwall. However, what about those bygone days when footballers had no choice but to go down the pit after their career ended, or open a toy shop, pub or retrain ? That thought would petrify todays modern footballer.
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.
