                                   Graham

Prediction: 23rd
Top Scorer: Scott Sinclair
Top Player: Scott Sinclair

Swansea like all promoted sides this year will find it extremely tough and struggle to stay in the Premier League but I think that Brendan Rogers will give it all his got. Attack wise the Swansea line up is full of pure pace in Dyer, Sinclair and Routledge and have a born finisher in Danny Graham. Early on this season they just seem to make lots and lots of great chances but finishing has been a problem. I do think that Swansea missed out on signing Welshman Craig Bellamy although wages may have been a issue there...
