It might well have been an overreaction, but the smatterings of boos at full time on Tuesday night were perhaps a vocal reflection of the rumblings of discontent that have been simmering away in SA1 recently.
Russell Martin, understandably, has been keen to calm things as best he can this week, once again emphasising his belief in this group of players and the fabled 'process', pointing out the positives of the last few games.
There certainly have been plus points under Martin's tenure. Despite a few full-time jeers, most fans can see the progress in this side for themselves and, crucially, what the current boss is trying achieve.
The defeat to Luton was perhaps an apt summing up of the issues facing the club at the moment, mind.
For all their possession, for all their chances, they just couldn't find the net, drawing a third blank in as many outings.
The Swans have now won just once in their last eight league games and, while Martin remains confident that things will improve, the fixture list is offering little cause for comfort at the moment.
Swansea are still 12 points clear of the relegation zone, and the idea of getting sucked into a battle to avoid the bottom three, on the face of it, seems pretty hyperbolic.
But anyone glancing at the next eight games, starting with high-flying Blackburn Rovers on Saturday, may well be forgiven a few jitters.
As well as Rovers, Swansea are set to take on four of the current top six, including Fulham, Bournemouth and West Bromwich Albion.
Then there are clashes against Stoke City, Sheffield United and Coventry City, who will likely be mounting a charge for the play-offs themselves.
The upcoming game with Bristol City on February 13, by default, already feels massive.
Martin is no fool. Despite his dedication to his philosophy, which is clearly at least a close relative of the 'Swansea Way', he knows none of it will ultimately count for anything without results.
But he's also made it clear that things aren't going to click overnight, having once again appealed for patience from fans as he tries to make a meagre budget sing over the next few transfer windows.
"The long term is to try to get back into the Premier League. It’ll be done in a different way to a lot of the teams who get there," he said this week.
There's nothing wrong with long-term plans, but the here and now has to be the most pressing priority currently, with Swansea heading into a gruelling run of games with less than ideal preparations.
Martin made a point of presenting a united front ahead of this weekend's clash, praising the support from the owners, who once again find themselves under the microscope following another eventful transfer window.
"Speaking to the owners again last night, they’re so supportive of what we’re doing," he said.
"They want to win more games in the short term as well, but in a tough run I couldn't have asked for more support from them."
The importance of everyone singing from the same hymn sheet admittedly cannot be overstated, but there were clearly some annoyances behind the scenes over how the January window panned out. Annoyances that cannot be allowed to fester.
Five incomings and 10 departures has left Martin with a squad alarmingly thin in certain areas, and injuries to key personnel could prove costly.
Indeed, 'square pegs in round holes' is already a phrase that's getting used a little too often at the moment.
Just as costly has been Swansea's slow start to games. No side has conceded as many goals within the opening 30 minutes so far this season.
Starting matches on the front foot has to provide more than impressive possession stats - the Swans need to find the net when it matters.
Star striker Joel Piroe remains the key source of goals, but has seen his form stall in recent weeks
The Dutchman hasn't scored since the 4-1 defeat at Nottingham Forest, which is coincidentally the last time a certain Jamie Paterson pulled on a Swans shirt.
It's a little bit of a stretch to say Piroe's recent mini-goal drought is down to Paterson's absence, but it clearly hasn't helped.
Both players have provided a club-high of four assists so far this season. Three of those have been responsible for the other player finding the net.
While there are likely to be other factors, the fallout around Paterson and his contract, which cast a big shadow over the club for much of the January window, has at least been a contributor to clipping Piroe's mojo.
For what it's worth, the noises suggest both Martin and Paterson are eager for reconciliation, although there's certainly some frustration on both sides about how the affair panned out.
Frustrations behind the scenes appear to underpin a typical Swansea season nowadays, but with such a daunting run of games coming up, some of the recent grumbles either have to be solved, or at least put firmly on the backburner until the summer.
Getting their ducks in a row is vital ahead of this upcoming run of games as one suspects that they will likely only need a couple of positive results to safeguard against being sucked into the relegation mire, an eventuality that is quite frankly unthinkable for all involved.
Indeed, as Martin himself said this week: "One win can change the landscape very quickly."
Hopefully that starts on Saturday.
