The Swansea City captain was as disappointed as anyone to see his side defeated at the weekend especially when a point would have lifted them into the automatic promotion places for Christmas.<\/p>\n
And he has called for improvements in the coming games as the promotion race continues to hot up.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a poor performance from us, we controlled the first half without really creating much. To be done by a poor goal like that \u2013 a long ball through the middle \u2013is bitterly disappointing.” he told the Western Mail<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were probably too comfortable on the ball and we lost concentration when we lost the ball. We\u2019ve all got to step up to the plate because it simply wasn\u2019t good enough.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone has to do their jobs and concentrate for 90 minutes.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve set such high standards and when we dip below them everyone is disappointed.<\/p>\n
\u201cForget about talking about going second, third or play-offs, you\u2019ve got to get the performance right first and back to the standards we\u2019ve set.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe last couple of games our performances haven\u2019t been where they should be.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have to improve fast and raise ourselves ready for a massive match at QPR.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome people will say that we have done well so far to be in fourth place, but we always want more as players, management and a club.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy should we settle with what we\u2019ve got? We want more.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s no crisis, no problems \u2013 we\u2019ve just got to forget everything else and get back to basics and what we are good at.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve got great characters and players in the dressing room.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes we are disappointed, but we\u2019ve got a great squad with plenty of quality and we\u2019ll bounce back \u2013 and what better place to do it than at the leaders QPR.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
