Only three teams - champions Burnley, runners-up Sheffield United and Middlesbrough, who are in the play-offs - scored more Championship goals than Swansea this season. Ultimately, their lengthy post-World Cup struggle - which included a miserable January transfer window - put paid to any hope of a return to the Premier League in May.
