Swansea's old boys came back to haunt them as Joe Allen and Wilfried Bony helped Stoke to a 3-1 win on Monday night. With tougher fixtures ahead and a five point gulf to safety, Bob Bradley's Swans now have a very real relegation fight on their hands.
Positives
Bradley may still be waiting for his first win as Swans boss, but his side are at least starting to take some shape. Anyone who can get a goal out of Wayne Routledge is clearly doing something right, while Fernando Llorente rewarded Bradley's decision to start him ahead of record signing Borja Baston.
