Dyer's Training Sharpness Impresses Leicester
We have known for some time that the training regime at Swansea is a thorough and complete one with Garry Monk often talking about the conditioning that the players have which has seen us in such good stead since he took over.
Monk has always prepared his team for every game with precision detail and it can certainly be linked with our excellent form over his time as manager which saw us finish in a best ever 8th place last season and such a good start to the season.
He has worked hard to get his team prepared in the way that he wants them and nobody can argue about the results that it is generating for the team despite last Saturday's set back at Watford.
That training regime also benefited one of our Premier League rivals this week when Nathan Dyer started his loan spell at Leicester with the winning goal as they came back from 2-0 down to beat Aston Villa on Sunday.
And it is the training sharpness of Dyer that has impressed new teammate Marc Albrighton "He has looked sharp in training already considering he hasn't had too many games back at Swansea
"He will be a massive part of what we are doing here. It will be a massive season for him and us. There are places up for grabs and that is football. We are a squad, a team, and you need that in the Premier League.
"If he is playing one week and I am on the bench then I will be right behind him. Vice-versa I am sure he will be the same."

Gwyn’s Eye View : Swansea City v MillwallGlyn is back with his favourite stats as we build up to the last game of the season. That comes in the form of Millwall who it seems are close to selling their requested 1,148 allocation, so its down to the Jack Army to do their bit this bank holiday weekend.
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.
