Swans becoming a team with 'identity' - Williams

Luke Williams believes his Swansea City side are developing an "identity" after successive victories lifted them to within two points of the Championship play-off places.

Swansea deservedly beat Watford on Tuesday thanks to Myles Peart-Harris' first goal for the club.

Swansea's first home triumph since mid-September followed last Saturday's away success at Oxford United, which had ended a six-game winless streak and five-match goal drought.

While Swansea remain the lowest scorers in the Championship despite successive wins, Williams says his side are showing signs of progress.

"When I look at the performances and try to look at the data in the performances – I know it's not the most exciting thing in the world, but that's what we have to do – and when I watch the games with my own eye, I feel like we are becoming a team with an identity," said the Swansea head coach.

"I think many of the games [this season] we have been able to make look the same. I think if we win more of those games, then we have a very good feeling.

"But I feel like we are going in the right direction and we are creating an identity where we can now establish ourselves in more games than not."

Swansea took control against Watford thanks to a dominant first-half display, with Peart-Harris sliding in his first goal for the club shortly before half-time.

They held on to win despite an improved second-half showing from Watford, with Williams' rearguard largely keeping the Hornets at arm's length.

"The way the players approached the game from the beginning – very intense, concentrating a lot, playing really good attacking football and very quickly destroying opposition attacks…" Williams added.

"This is the type of football I think is enjoyable and I hope it's more enjoyable for the fans when we play like that."
