Monk a happy man
Skipper Garry Monk insists the Swansea dressing room is a much happier place to be under Brendan Rodgers.
Rodgers took the reins in mid-July after Paulo Sousa left for Leicester, and Monk now feels a greater sense of enthusiasm at the Liberty Stadium.
"The manager is adaptable and approachable, which is a massive difference from last year," he told thisissouthwales.co.uk. "As a player that's what you want from your manager.
"He has been honest with us from day one, which helps, and his training sessions have been second to none. Training has been tremendous since he came in. He hasn't had a great deal of time to work with us, but in the few weeks he has been here we couldn't really have done any more."
Monk continued: "It's a massively happier camp. Quite often it's the older lads in a squad who have to push everyone on, but the younger boys are raring to go too.
"We are all hungry for success and now the manager has come in with the same philosophy."
