They changed their manager. The new manager changed almost the entire team. But on the pitch, in the deepening gloom of a miserable New Year's Eve, nothing really changed for Swansea at all. Under caretaker boss Alan Curtis, the Swans started with a little more composure and desire than had been the case under Bob Bradley, but they finished in the same way they have so often: well beaten and with the boos of the supporters ringing in their ears. It is hard to avoid the conclusion that for all the managerial manoeuvrings this season, these players are just not good enough.
