    There's still plenty of time for Swansea to mount a fightback but, in all honesty, it doesn't look as if they have the capability to do so. It's a big job at the Liberty Stadium for whoever takes on the challenge of being their next manager.

    It's as if Bournemouth's second goal, coming when it did at the end of the first half, has completely killed any optimism there may have been among Swansea's fans.
