Den: "We Can Be Better Than Leeds"

Den: We Can Be Better Than Leeds

Swansea City were outplayed for much of Saturday against Leeds and few who watched the game can claim that we deserved anything other than we got - nothing.

However, defender Dennis Lawrence believes that the Swans can be a better side than Leeds and is looking to two home games for them to bounce back to winning ways and consolidate a promotion push.

Speaking after his side were beaten 2-0, Lawrence told the Western Mail "Obviously it was always going to be a difficult game coming to Leeds

"But we are a bit disappointed because we felt we could have done a bit better, especially with the goals we conceded.

"They were a big, powerful team and they played well against us

"But it's disappointing because I think we could have matched them and we could even have been better than them. We have to be able to come to places like this and get results.

"They are a powerful striking force for defenders to deal with but hopefully next time we will do better against them when they come to Swansea

"We have got to look at the week ahead and get a good result that's in our favour next time round.
