Andy Robinson feels Swansea City have "gone backwards" in attack following their goalless draw with Sheffield Wednesday.

The Swans managed just one shot on target against the Owls at Hillsborough and have failed to score in four successive Championship matches.

"It was difficult viewing [at Sheffield Wednesday]," ex-Swansea player Robinson told BBC Radio Wales.

"When Matty Grimes is giving the ball away, you know you're struggling in a game of football.

"Not just in the final third, I'm talking all over the pitch, the lack of quality was awful. I don't think the five changes helped.

"In terms of the quality on that football pitch, it was dire.

"In terms of creating chances and getting into the final third, I think they've gone backwards in the last few games."

Luke Williams' side were seventh in the Championship after beating Coventry City 2-1 in September.

But having failed to win in five matches Swansea are 13th, and find themselves closer to the bottom three than the top six when it comes to points gained so far this season.

And while Robinson says Williams can at least take positives from earning a point away from home against Wednesday, the former attacking midfielder felt neither side deserved three points.

"Over the course of the 90 minutes, neither team showed the quality to win the game, but again, it's a point on the board and it's a clean sheet defensively," he added.
