Swansea Midfielder Leon Britton Upbeat About Club's Future Despite Poor Form

Published on: 23 October 2016

Swansea City midfielder Leon Britton is confident his side can turn their season around after a wretched start to the season that saw manager Francesco Guidolin sacked and replaced by Bob Bradley.


The Welsh side, currently languishing down in 19th in the Premier League table after picking up only one victory in nine matches, ended a run of four successive defeats with a 0-0 draw against Watford on Saturday.


Britton, who played for the Swans in the lower leagues of English football, says there is still plenty of time to recover after a difficult start but that it is up to the players to respond to a 'different' kind of pressure as they scrap to avoid relegation.

"At the moment, it's just small margins," the 34-year-old said following the draw against Watford.


"Having said that, I think there is a lot to build on for the future and if we carry on performing like we did... (on Saturday), I am sure the results will come.


"We are certainly in a different situation than we are used to. And yes, it brings a different kind of pressure than we are used to. But as players you have to get on with it and stand up and be counted."

"It was a dream come true"

"I know you need togetherness, spirit and camaraderie, but at the same time you need quality as well. You can't just rely on team spirit," Britton added.


"You need that quality and thankfully, I felt we showed that against Watford, so we need to make sure we carry on like that and keep improving our performances levels. If we do that, I am sure we will get the points we need."
