'Galbraith has to play in midfield' and January transfer wishes

BBC Sport asked Swansea City fans for their views on potential player recruitment during the January transfer window. Mark - Number one target needs to be a right-back, Josh Key's injured and his confidence is shot to pieces, [Ethan] Galbraith is doing an amazing job there but he needs to be in the middle of the park. Key sadly is not good enough and our star player Galbraith has to play in midfield.

BBC Sport asked Swansea City fans for their views on potential player recruitment during the January transfer window.

Here are some of the responses:

Jof - We definitely need an 'enforcer'. We are lacking 'mettle' as a team, with too many examples of weakness in 1on1 battles at an individual level which creates the same weakness at a team level. I want to see a strong-willed, highly verbal player, that can create the battling ethos that we are lacking as a team.

Mark - Number one target needs to be a right-back, Josh Key's injured and his confidence is shot to pieces, [Ethan] Galbraith is doing an amazing job there but he needs to be in the middle of the park. Number two for me is a RW as Ronald needs competition there as I feel hes not delivering performances right now and lastly number three for me would be a pacey centre-back.

Richard - Priority is a right-back. Key sadly is not good enough and our star player Galbraith has to play in midfield. We need another striker to support [Zan] Vipotnik and a right winger who can cross the ball as Ronald is pathetic at that.

Simon - At the Millwall match it was clear that [Lawrence] Vigouroux needs a stronger defence in front of him.

Brian - We definitely need a striker, we have had so many chances to score more than one goal per game, we are playing some good football since Matos has taken over but we just don't finish games off. More goals needed.

Gareth - I don't think we need another centre-forward even with [Adam] Idah off for a while. What we need is regularly passed balls into the box. Vipotnik will do the rest. Tymon is a great crosser but we need both wingers to up their game and have a better end product and go for the pass not glory - too many wasted opportunities through poor thinking.

Karl - Right-back and winger at the very least.

Paul - Desperate for a second fit striker, also a right-back to free up Galbraith and play him in his most effective position.
