This style of play was lethal and made his team win five out of the first six games that Rodgers managed. In the process, Swansea also kept four clean sheets. This impressive run in the 2011-2012 season also won Rodgers a manager of the month award. Rodgers continued modelling the team into a threat and by April had secured their spot in the playoffs.

Scott Sinclair, one of the success stories of that Swansea team, scored a hat trick during the final to ensure the Swans win 4-2 against Nottingham Forest. Pundits and bookmakers mentioned Forest as the favourites to win the match, and this might have worked well for Swansea to reduce pressure. The players conducted themselves with patience and won the game through strategy, making their promotion one of the most surprising playoff wins ever.
