Alan Sheehan insists Swansea City will not ease up despite passing the Championship’s traditional 50-point safety mark thanks to Wednesday’s victory over Plymouth Argyle.
Swansea took the division’s bottom club apart, with first-half goals from Lewis O’Brien, Harry Darling and Josh Key securing a 3-0 win which would have been more emphatic but for a succession of missed chances.
A second successive home victory – and a fourth in the past five home games – means Swansea have banked 14 points from eight matches since Sheehan was named caretaker head coach in mid-February.
The Irishman’s task when he took the reins was to ensure Swansea retained their second-tier status, and that job now looks all but complete with his 14th in the table, nine points clear of the relegation zone with five games remaining this season.
“Are we safe? I don’t know. It’s hard to know. I don’t really look at that. We want to chase teams and be the best version of ourselves,” Sheehan said.
“When we were on 48 [points] before the game I wanted to get over 50 and that’s a good achievement from where we were. But now it’s about getting to the next level.
“We’ve jumped another place and that’s the challenge always, to finish as high as you can and get the best out of every single game.”
