Swans ready for Championship

By Ian Walsh Former Wales international

Swansea's task now is to add the League One title to promotion

Congratulations to Swansea on their promotion.

The commitment, the positive play from the Swansea players and everyone at the club has shone through.

Although sometimes they have had to grind out results, as the lads did against Gillingham on Saturday.

I watch a lot of football at all levels and the Championship isn't a particularly strong footballing league.

Teams can beat everyone else, the bottom teams can beat the top teams.

So if they go in there and show a bit of consistency, steel and determination there's no reason Swansea can't be right up there pushing, possibly, for a play-off place.

They could do even better if manager Roberto Martinez is allowed to spend some money in the summer and strengthen the team in certain areas.

Anybody can do anything in that Championship, as we've seen all season, and why can't Swansea City?

If I was Martinez I would have given his players until Tuesday off, let them go and celebrate because they thoroughly deserved it.

That won't reduce what they want to achieve on Saturday - winning the League One title against Yeovil - by any stretch of the imagination.

You could hear, even when the players were very excited at the end there against Gillingham, that they still wanted to go on and win the title.

That's the next stage for these players now, to go on and win it in style.

They've taken a lot of pressure off their shoulders and I'm sure they're going to win every game between now and the end of the season.

Promotion was the most important thing, but now that they've gained that it will be a massive, massive plus for Swansea if they win the title.

The players deserve it because they are the best footballing side in the division.
