Swansea City star reveals the key to their flying start ahead of facing Nottingham Forest

Swansea City star Connor Roberts says the Championship leaders do not always live up to their reputation, as he explained the key to their success this season.

The Welsh side are the surprise package so far with five wins and a draw heading into Saturday's home game against Nottingham Forest.

They have been praised for the quality of their football under new head coach Steve Cooper, but Wales international Roberts says they are not one-trick ponies.

“I wouldn’t say we’ve played unbelievable football in every game, but we’ve done different things that we’ve needed to do,” said Roberts, who is currently on international duty.

“Against Leeds and Derby away from home, we’ve had to dig in, while we played some really nice football against Birmingham.

“At other times we’ve just stayed in games and let our football do the talking.

“The gaffer and his staff have game plans and we have to try to be as close to that as we can. They have experience and know what they’re talking about; it’s paid dividends so far.”

Roberts, 23, has played a key role in Swansea's flying start, which included a 1-0 win at Leeds last time out, to leave them two points clear of second-placed Charlton.
