Swansea City skipper, Ashley Williams, has called upon his side to grab a win in their next Premier League game against Reading on Saturday – their last before the international break.
The Welsh International was of the opinion that it was pertinent that his side signed off on a high in order to rebuild their momentum, and has only got win on his mind as they host the bottom-ranked team.
After getting off to a coruscating start, the Swans have lost their way in the last couple of games.
Having recorded big wins against Queens Park http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-c25261 Laudrup’s men have now suffered three league defeats in a row.
The latest blow came at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday, where they were seconded 2-0 by a rampant Stoke City.
Also, in their three successive losses, the Welsh team have failed to score a single goal.
In order to get the things back on track, the 28-year old feels that it was crucial that they bag maximum points out of their next fixture.
The defender also cited the upcoming international break, which he believes makes it all the more important for them to come up with a win against the Royals.
“We want to win the game before the break. You always want to win your game going into the international games — and the one after as well — to keep the momentum going,” he told the reporters.
“Reading's my first focus and then there are two massive games for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wales-c3041 as well.”
It has all fallen to pieces for Laudrup, after making a dream start as the Swansea boss.

Veteran defender, Neil Taylor, fractured his ankle and has already been ruled out for the remainder of the season. While http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kyle-Bartley-c21555 is also out of action for up to three months due to fitness problems.

However, the skipper was confident that the players will be able to stop the team’s rut very soon, and will get the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 done on Saturday.
“The boys seem determined as always… We do all right for spells but in recent weeks we haven't started well — we need to put that right,” he added.
