'New optimism' among Swans fans after solid start to season

[BBC Sport] We asked Swansea City fans for their season ambitions after an unbeaten start to the Championship campaign, and what they would do if any late offers arrive for striker Zan Vipotnik. The Swans have thus far kept hold of last season's Championship golden boot winner, and Vipotnik featured in their opening weekend win at Stoke City and last weekend's draw with Sheffield United. Here is what some fans had to say: Gareth: This is the first time in a long time that my thoughts for the coming season are more aligned with promotion than the worry about being relegated. For the past few seasons, the team has often found itself more in danger of slipping into League One than returning to the Premier League. I sense a new optimism among the supporters that at last the club is heading in the right direction. But we must guard against unrealistic expectations. The players are new to each other; it will take time for them to gel before we will see the best they are capable of. So be patient. Pete: If a Championship club is aiming to get to the Premier League, then they have to think and act like a Premier League club. If offers come in for Vipotnik, don't sell cheap like desperados - ask PL prices. I've seen £20-30m mentioned. Be brave, ask £35-40m. Be what you aim to be. Brian: We still need to be ruthless up front as we miss so many chances; stick with the same striker instead of changing each week. If a good offer comes in for Vipotnik, we should sell him. The team is looking strong, though. Robert: During their first game of the season against Stoke, they showed glimpses of the football that everyone wants to see week in, week out. But unfortunately, they did not produce that at home and struggled at times. Defensively, we seem to be unsure, and against stiffer opposition we will get punished if this area is not strengthened. Let's hope they have the right players in place to produce the results we all expect from this squad. Time will tell.
