Planet Swans ArchivesAshley Williams insists the Swans style won’t change this season as they prepare for their first home Premier League game
Williams echoed the words of others when he said that the Swans will carry on with the style that got them into the Premier League.
He said “We don’t get caught up on the way we play, it’s everyone else who says it’s too short or too slow
“It’s just the way we play. I think it’s just a cop-out for pundits and the media to say if you play a certain way it’s not going to work.
“We are not too bothered.
“To play the way we do takes bravery and for us to go to Man City and play like that in our first Premier game was brave.
“We should be proud of that.”
Swansea welcome Wigan to the Liberty Stadium today for their first Premier League game and Williams says that they can take some lessons from their visitors who work on similar budgets to the Swans
“We won’t follow them exactly, we will try and do our own thing.
“But we can definitely take a lot of hope from the fact they are a small team who don’t spend big but still play attractive stuff.
“We just play our own way and, come June, see what happens.
“It will be nice at the end of the season when we are still in the league when we can say we did it our way.
“But that’s not the main aim. We play this way because we want to and it is the only way we know, we work on it every day.
“Physically it was a lot tougher. Everyone seems very quick and strong,” said Williams.
“It was good that we played Manchester City first because now we know the kind of level we need to be aiming at. We definitely have to step it up.”
