Midfielder's 35-yard rocket up for goal of the month
CAMERON Brannagan has been nominated for April's Sky Bet Championship goal of the month award. The Oxford United midfielder is shortlisted for his 35-yard rocket which rescued a point at Cardiff City on Easter Monday. United were 1-0 down approaching the final 10 minutes when a central free kick was awarded 35 yards from goal. Tyler Goodrham touched the ball for Brannagan to run onto, and the midfielder unleashed a powerful rising effort which flew past Ethan Horvath in the Bluebirds goal. READ ALSO: U's boss gives update on future of Chelsea loanee Brannagan previously said on the wonder strike: 'It was a very special moment and a long time coming. 'I'm a bit frustrated with my knee and not being able to properly strike through a ball over the past couple of weeks or months maybe. 'It's frustrating but all the frustration came out in that strike to be honest. I hit it lovely and celebrating in front of the fans was a special feeling.' Brannagan is nominated alongside Swansea City right back Josh Key for his 30-yard strike against Plymouth Argyle, attacker Jamie Paterson's stoppage time half-volley in Coventry City's 1-0 win against Portsmouth, and Sunderland forward Eliezer Mayenda's solo effort at Bristol City. U's fans can vote for Brannagan via the EFL website before 5pm on Monday. Votes will then be combined with the choices from a panel, and all winners will be announced on Friday, May 16.

Key's 30-yard stunner up for April award
Swansea City defender Josh Key's 30-yard stunner against Plymouth Argyle has earned him a nomination for the EFL's Championship Goal of the Month award. The 25-year-old full-back sealed a 3-0 win for the Swans on 9 April with his spectacular lob over the goalkeeper from distance. "It had been 364 days since Key's last goal, so expectations were low as he strode forward," said the Football League in its nominations list. "The full-back had other ideas, striking his controlled 25-yard (or further) shot at pace and in a perfect arc." Key, who joined Swansea from Exeter City in 2023, is one of four nominees for the April award, along with Coventry City's former Swans midfielder Jamie Paterson, Sunderland's Eliezer Mayenda and Oxford United's Cameron Brannagan, who is nominated for his stunner against Cardiff City on 21 April. Fans can vote for their favourite on the EFL's website, with the winner announced on 16 May.

Swansea's significant squad turnover in the summer of 2023 was a major contributing factor in operational expenses rising by £4m to £47m in the latest financial club state that they "invested significantly" in the playing squad in the financial year under review, with acquisition costs of player registrations amounting to £ Josh Key, strikers Jerry Yates and Mykola Kuharevich, centre-back Kristian Pedersen and left-back Josh Tymon were among the players recruited by the Swans after Michael Duff replaced Russell Martin as head figures also include the 2024 January transfer window, during which Swansea signed Przemysław Płacheta from Norwich City, Ronald from Gremio Anapolis and Charles Sagoe Jr on loan from latest accounts - which are yet to be published in full on Companies House - do not include the takeover of the club last November, which saw Andy Coleman, Brett Cravatt, Nigel Morris and Jason Cohen purchase the shares of former majority owners Jason Levien and Steve Kaplan.A club statement read: "The board acknowledges that whilst the magnitude of the operational loss is a product of the highly competitive environment within the EFL Championship in which the club currently competes, the club will continue to focus on achieving operational efficiencies in order to maximise the resources which can be invested into the first-team squad. "The costs of operating a stadium and two training facilities are significant and are growing. "In the absence of any immediate prospect of a redistribution agreement between the EFL and the Premier League, the club will continue to be reliant on the support of its ownership group as the main source of funding."Duff was sacked midway through the 2023-24 campaign, with Luke Williams being appointed head coach in January Williams lasted little more than a year in the role, with current caretaker boss Alan Sheehan taking charge of the Swans for the remainder of the current season.
