Swansea City boss, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-c25261 Laudrup, wants his team to record a win against the in-from West Bromwich Albion on Wednesday.
The South http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wales-c3041 outfit are unbeaten in their last five games in all competitions and have suffered just a single defeat in their last eight.
During this period, Laudrup’s men recorded emphatic wins over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 in the Capital One Cup fourth round tie and Newcastle United at the Sports Direct Arena.
Consequently, they have pushed themselves up into the upper half of the table and are six points clear of the drop zone.
A win today will take their points tally to 20. However, the Baggies could prove to be their toughest test yet, as Steve Clarke’s unit have taken everyone by the storm so far this term.
Based on what his side have achieved thus far under his management, the 48-year old admitted he was impressed with their performances over the last couple of weeks.
Although the former Mallorca boss conceded that they cannot go on to win every match, he said a victory over West Brom would carry a lot of significance and could kick-start another remarkable spell for them.
“It’s a very positive moment for us and that’s what we want to continue at the club,” he told the reporters in an interview.
“At the same time we want to try and improve all the time. It isn’t possible to win every game, even though we try to, so we must focus on improving our performances and points tally, which is the most important.”
The Baggies have been, without a doubt, the Premier League’s surprise package so far. The West Midlands based team have already collected wins against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c39043 and Liverpool this season and look set to mount a sustained challenge for a Champions
League slot.
Laudrup commented that the team’s booming confidence, fitness of the key players and a good fortune were the major reasons behind their phenomenal run.
“You need lots of things going for you, a good team, not many injuries and a bit of luck and when it comes together you can surprise people,” he added.
