Ashley Williams concerned by Swans display at Stoke

The Swans suffered a 2-0 defeatย away at the Britannia Stadium and slumped to their third straight defeat and having failed to score in the last three games.

But the Wales centre-half believes it is not all ‘doom and gloom’ at the Liberty Stadium.

“We all understand the performance wasn’t good enough,” said Williams.

“They may have taken their foot off the gas but we created a few chances and when we get those chances we have to put them away.

“We didn’t get into our rhythm, but we did in spells. We are just not keeping clean sheets or scoring goals. We have a lot of work to do.

Williams, who has made 36 appearances for Wales, admits his side’s form is a concern.

“I am not worried but I am concerned,” said Williams

“We are the people who can change it but it’s not all doom and gloom. We have lost three on the bounce but we started the season pretty well and we have points on the board.

“We are playing well in spells and the pleasing thing is we are creating chances, but we have to get back to getting clean sheet and taking some of the chances.

“We had that little spell last season when you feel you cannot do anything right and every time you make a mistake it’s a goal and you are punished

“That’s how it goes and you have to change your luck and the only way we can do that is by working hard.”
