EXCLUSIVE NEWS:Swansea City manager Luke Williams has expressed both encouragement and frustration following recent encounters with Leeds United.

In a dramatic 4-3 defeat on November 24, 2024, Williams highlighted his team’s competitiveness, stating, “The performance certainly doesn’t look like anything less than a team that’s top half at least.” He emphasized that Swansea did not appear significantly inferior to Leeds, who were leading the Championship at the time.

However, earlier in the year, after a 4-0 loss to Leeds on February 13, 2024, Williams criticized his team’s timid approach. He remarked, “We didn’t compete properly, too timid, can’t play like that, so scared to press that you allow them time at the back of the pitch.” Williams stressed the need for a more aggressive stance, suggesting, “I’d rather we throw some punches, rather than be against the ropes.”

These contrasting reflections underscore the evolving challenges Swansea City faces against top-tier Championship teams like Leeds United. Williams’ comments reveal a focus on building resilience and assertiveness to bridge the gap between competitive performances and securing favorable results.
