Sheehan believes his Swans can fly up to another level

ALAN Sheehan says his Swansea City side are capable of “going up a level” as they look to climb the Championship table.

Swansea have made a steady if unspectacular start to the season, taking 13 points from their first 10 league games to sit 13th.

That is the same position Swansea were in at this point last season, though they have one more point now than Luke Williams’ team had 12 months ago.

Last weekend’s draw at Southampton means Swansea have won only once in six league games as they prepare to host Queens Park Rangers tonight, but Sheehan believes they are moving in the right direction.

“I think the points tally, what are we, one better off [than last season]? We'd like a few more points but still the points tally is fine,” Swansea's head coach told BBC Wales.

“Level of performance, I think we still need to get to a place where we're more consistent in games and we want to create more chances.

“But look, there's a lot of areas to improve on and we are still in a half-decent position.

“We've got no divine right to win every game but we have to respect that we know we can go up another level. I think everybody is aware of that.”
