Eyebrow-raising move works wonders, Swansea City star's career has lift off and 'outstanding' teen shows club's direction

Swansea City made it back-to-back Championship wins on Saturday after easing to a 3-1 win over Coventry City at the Swansea.com Stadium.

Jamie Paterson's early strike and a brace from Michael Obafemi were ultimately enough to seal the three points for the Swans, who will now gear themselves up to welcome Fulham to SA1 on Tuesday night.

Here's a quick look at some of the key talking points to emerge from Saturday's win.

Plenty of eyebrows were raised when it emerged Korey Smith was set to line up in the left wingback role on Saturday afternoon.

It's a role Smith hasn't played before, but any concerns over his suitability were quickly evaporated on the back of what was a highly accomplished showing, the highlight being his role in Swansea's brilliant opener.

Granted, his influence waned as the second half wore on, but he was by no means the only guilty party in that department.

And besides, given this was his first outing in an unfamiliar, high-intensity role, one can maybe cut him a little more slack.

Russell Martin was certainly impressed, anyway, although he insists he wasn't all that surprised to see the 31-year-old rise to the challenge.

Explaining his thinking behind the move, he said: "He was great. I'm really pleased he played a part in that goal.

"I thought it would lead you to question me less on it up here today if we won!

"But he's really versatile. He played there because I felt we needed his presence, his experience. We don't possess huge amounts of that.

"He's vocal, we don't possess huge amounts of that either.

"But when you have a good understanding of the game, you can play in any position. He can certainly do that. I thought he was great."

Given its success on Saturday, it wouldn't be a surprise to see
