Jay Fulton says Swansea City will relish a return home to face high-flying Sunderland on Saturday after banking four points from games at Luton Town and Plymouth Argyle this week.
Fulton scored his first goal in 13 months to help Luke Williams’ team secure victory at Home Park on Tuesday, three days after they impressed in a 1-1 draw at Kenilworth Road.
Swansea are in the midst of perhaps their most consistent run of performances since Williams took charge last January – and experienced midfielder Fulton says the squad are looking up.
“We moved up to ninth [after Plymouth] and we will look back at games already and think we could have probably got more points,” the 30-year-old said.
“Sunderland are having a good season. Our home form has been decent so we look forward to it. We are ready to push on.”
Fulton made just his fourth league start of the season in the Plymouth win, having last made Williams’ XI in the draw at Sheffield Wednesday on 22 October.
Fulton has had to be patient at times because of the form of the likes of Matt Grimes and summer signing Goncalo Franco, while he was also out of action for a spell because of a calf injury.
“It’s tough for any player when they are not getting consecutive games and they are trying to find a way into the team,” he said.
“I have done it before. Obviously the injury was a little setback to me but I work hard in training and try to be as fit and ready as possible.
“Swansea have always had a lot of midfielders, a lot of options. It’s only good for the squad to have that competition and help push us up the league.”
