Bradley demands squad earn fans’ support with points

Swansea manager Bob Bradley wants his side to earn the support of the Liberty Stadium crowd with improved performances and more points.

The Swans have managed just a single league win all season, away at Burnley on the opening day, and have five points in the Premier League.

Their 3-1 defeat by Manchester United at the weekend means they’ve picked up just two points from a possible 18 at the Liberty Stadium this season.

And Bradley is demanding more fight from the Swans after a segments of the fans started booing the team during Sunday’s defeat.

“There’s only one way to win the support of fans, and that’s to play better and take points,” he said.

“From the players’ and coaches’ side of things, we have to focus on the part that we control. That’s how we play, how we compete and how we fight for points.

“If the fans are angry at half-time, I understand that. We didn’t do enough to win them over in any way. They have every right to be angry at half-time.

“We have to be honest about the work that needs to be done. We have to get some positive results.

“We understand very clearly where we are. There’s no hiding from the situation. We know all the areas where we need to be better.”
