WANSEA manager Alan Sheehan is satisfied with his side’s start to the season after a dominant 2-0 win against Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough.

CONSISTENCY IS THE KEY FOR SHEEHAN

Zan Vipotnik’s effort just after the interval paired with Ronald’s goal late on was enough to ensure the visitors got their first three-point haul on the road this campaign.

Two wins and a draw from four matches leave the Swans seventh at this early stage of the Championship and Sheehan is taking encouragement from how they are picking up points.

The Swansea boss said: “Getting three points is always the most important thing but the way we did it was the most pleasing thing today.

“I felt in the first half we were in control but we didn’t have enough territory in the final third, so after the break we needed to go up a level.

“We scored two goals and we could have had numerous more.

“This is a really difficult place to come.

“I don’t think I've had an easy game at Hillsborough in 20 years so to get a clean sheet and limit them to litle going forward is really impressive.

“I feel we were dominant for most of the afternoon.
