Over the last 10 years - there have been a lot of false dawns - on and off the pitch. Very little stability and the only time we looked like getting out of the division was during the Birch-Cooper period.
I can remember a year ago being excited about all the new signings - going to Cheltenham in a pre-season friendly and soon realising that the team would probably be at best mid-table.
I hope we are in for a good season. One would hope the team can flirt with the play-offs but is the team/club ready to return to the Premier League and compete. I am not sure. |
I agree with all that, I remember this time last year when more than a few posters thought that we had the players to challenge, we did get closer at the end agreed, but ultimately fell a bit short, if Matos had come in earlier we might have even closer mind. [Post edited 3 Aug 22:54]

I never noticed him to be honest I don't know anything about him, hope his injury issues are behind him though. | | | |

I agree that this upcoming season is going to be tough for Swans to make the playoffs. You've got the three relegated sides, WHAM, Wolves, and Burnley, with all 3 in contention (imo) at the top of the Championship.
You also have as you mentioned Brum & Sheff U. Don't know if Stoke will be up there but they've always given Swans problems. Maybe Team Hollywood (Wrexham) who nearly made the playoffs last year, Middlesbrough who made it due to Southampton's spygate affair. Derby?
Then, if Swans were to somehow get promoted, then how prepared are they to stay up beyond the first year, is a great question posed by OJumpingJack! |
Wolves out of all those you mentioned look a good bet to go up . | | | |

Every season the Championship looks tough until the matches start. 12 months ago who would have said Coventry would be Champions with Hull also getting promoted and Leicester getting relegated. You need a good squad to go up and finish the season well, we have as good a chance as most. |  | | |

Absolutely this, so many factors come into play. |  | | |
