Luke Williams : Reflections and player named in transfer latest
Luke Williams did his traditional three minutes or so after the Swans lost by one goal at Middlesbrough. He looked angry, but conserved that emotion with a constructive and immediate reflection on his side.
It disappoints even more when it was clear the game, despite the many errors by the Swans on the ball wasn’t managed properly from on the pitch. It does mean the club have more work to do with Luke also admitting, "We started really very anxious. So many unforced errors and then the penalty is a reflection of that. Too anxious inside the box trying to make a tackle that you don't need to make. Just stand up. That summed up that first 20 minutes for me”
Where we will differ on opinion is that the Swans didn’t look that good for the whole of the first half. On transfers he said. I wouldn’t be surprised if I'm told on the way home or tomorrow morning that someone's about to arrive. But equally it's likely to take a little bit longer than that. "Well, we can reveal after a phone conversation earlier that nineteen year old, Kaide Gordon is close to agreeing a loan move from Liverpool. He is an exciting young prospect but does have little first team experience. We have also been told that there is a feeling it could be alongside the signing of Providence, however one source says it’s either or.
You wouldn’t expect Luke Williams to mention it, but he is fully aware of that particular possible loan move. Ruben Providence is another we know he is keen on but that will be harder to conclude for sure. On that Williams stated. "We probably are closer, it probably depends on things that may have happened in the last 48 hours that I don't know about. But once I'm caught up to speed I'll know where we are."
