A goal from a corner and one from a free kick meant the Swans lost their opening Championship fixture 2-0 at the Valley and De Vries has revealed that the Swans have been working hard to ensure that it does not become a problem again for them.<\/p>\n
Defending from set pieces has long since been highlighted as a weakness for the Swans and it is pleasing to see that this is now being reflected in the work being done on the training pitch although I suspect this is not the first time but the first time that it has been highlighted in the media.<\/p>\n
De Vries told BBC Sport "We try to focus on every goal scored against us to see what we can do defensively in those situations <\/p>\n
"We trained a lot on Monday especially those situations and will do more to make sure everything is 100 per cent. <\/p>\n
"We can't afford to lose games on set pieces because football-wise we are good and comfortable." <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
