Duff mentions behind the scenes issues when citing the Swans league position
Michael Duff looking far happier now he has a game to plan for on Saturday mentioned a few issues he is facing on a daily basis at the Swans.
‘Behind the scenes’ was mentioned twice when citing causes for the Swans being in seventeenth position in the league. However, with the Championship as we know it and seven points outside of the play offs it’s no big deal.
It’s looking like Mykola will be back after Christmas as will Joe Allen and possibly much later Nathan Wood. Speaking today Duff said, "In terms of injuries, we are still depleted but people are getting fitter. Josh Key is close.
"Mykola is on the grass, as is Joe Allen and Azeem too. They are not integrated into training yet, but they are doing individual work. We are getting there but they are still not available to us. Josh should be available next week, people like Joe and Azeem and Mykila are more like three to four weeks away”
It’s weird though that when the head coach states ‘issues’ behind the scenes at the club that a form clarification isn’t made. Todays interview was covered on the official website, but no mention of the reasoning behind Duff’s comments or indeed any mention whatsoever. Once again the Swans deliver a feature with little clarity or information. Especially in areas that clearly concern Michael Duff or he wouldn’t have mentioned them twice within a six minute segment of a twelve minute interview.
Any thoughts ?
We do have a few, but that’s for the future.
The full interview is below.

Make of that what you will.
We will have full pre match coverage of the Swans tomorrow and on Saturday.
What to read next:
Swansea City fans continue to be fleeced Turners Coachways, a company based in Bristol have again hiked prices for fans going to games this season. An example is the forthcoming away game at Plymouth Argyle. Two people have to fork out £92 before they even buy a match day ticket and pay out for refreshments.
Swansea City : Ronald Fighting Back ? The Indy take a look We welcome back Trystan Bending to the Indy for yet another clever insight into the Swans. This time he focuses on Ronald Pereira Martins, the Swansea City utility winger who can play on both sides of the pitch and across the front line.
Swans in another goal glut game but no finishing power If we look at the players who just are not performing for the Swans then three new bodies are needed come January. If these individuals can be replaced it may well give the Swans the lift they need, especially in games like today. Having said that the Swans had more than enough chances to win this game today.
Swans v Pompey : An odd connection & pre match chatIt’s match day again, when you play on a Wednesday they really come round quickly. After today v Portsmouth at the Swansea.com (3pm) the Swans will have a week off … before travelling to Luton for a game next Saturday.
Swansea City ready to increase misery on Pompey ? The last time Portsmouth played was on November 9th. That day they beat Preston 3-1. Bearing in mind that came before the International break and some twenty one days ago tomorrow they certainly do come into this game fresh.
