Swansea City endured a fairly poor return to the Championship this season just gone, finishing in 10th place under Graham Potter.

The Swans struggled to get any sort of consistency going in their game, and despite being pleasing on the eye and putting some big teams to the sword, ultimately they fell short of ever mounting a decent run at the play-off places.

A big summer is now ahead for the Welsh club as Potter takes his managerial services to Brighton, leaving Swansea looking to fill a big void and once again undertake something of a rebuild.

There is some big talent at the club though, and with the right man in charge they could well find themselves challenging in the upper echelons of the Championship table in what is set up to be a fiercly competitive league next season.

However, this last season will no doubt be looked back on with an air of flatness from Swansea fans and everyone involved in the club, and that got us here at FLW thinking about their year in a bit more depth.

With that then, we looked at THREE things we learnt about Swansea over the course of the 18/19 campaign...

They can be quite soft centered

While pleasing on the eye and playing some excellent football, it can't be denied that Swansea can find themselves bullied out of certain games.

This needs to be addressed in the summer, with the club in desperate need of some solid Championship professionals to replace those leaving the club with their big wages in tow.

With Potter now gone, any new man in charge at the Liberty will be keen to bring some steel into the team.

They were going places under Potter

Speaking of Graham Potter, it's hard to deny that Swansea were on an upward curve under him.

Despite having a talented squad to work with, he did a credible job of getting his players out of the slump what is relegation from the Premier League, and managed to implement his own slick style on the club in the meantime.

He will be missed, that is for sure.

McBurnie and James are stars in the making

Striker McBurnie was absolutely key for the Swans and enjoyed a breakout Championship campaign, firing in 22 goals and really impressing at the Liberty.

Likewise, young winger Daniel James cemented his place as one of the key performers in the league, and he's already being touted for a move to Manchester United.

Keeping one, or both, will be vital to how the club do next season. If they lose both, then Swansea face a mammoth task to replace the pair.
