Swansea City’s game at Huddersfield this afternoon will be their last for four weeks, so it feels like a good time to take stock of the season so far.
The unusual timing of this year’s World Cup allows space for reflection as well as an opportunity to rest and prepare for the busy festive period.
The Swans are nearly halfway through their fixture list and find themselves eighth in the table, just a point off the play-off spots. Not bad at all, especially considering their disappointingly slow start to the campaign.
