Robbo Warns Swans

Live Up To Billing Says Robbo

Andy Robinson has said that the Swans should live up to their billing at the moment rather than constantly state how good they are.

Plenty is said about best squad in the division, good enough to be 1st and 2nd in the league but with just two home wins from seven league games Robinson believes that the Swans need to do their talking on the pitch and deliver what they are promising.

Speaking after Friday's 1-0 defeat by Huddersfield, Robinson told the Wales on Sunday "The result was very disappointing. I thought they were a bang average side.

"They came here with the same formation many teams do and frustrated us. But I don't think they could say they played well.

"We weren't poor but we didn't deliver a performance to win the game. I don't know what it is with us at home at the moment.

"We have to hold our hands up because really we should be tearing these kind of teams apart.

"There are expectations on us to do well here but we keep bragging about being good players. Now we have to live up to that.

"Teams are starting to enjoy coming here and if there was a manager sat in the stands he would have come away thinking, 'I've found a way how to play against Swansea City'. We can't allow that to happen.

"The referee has been conned but we have to look at ourselves.

"We've a lot of lads here who have won promotions so we all know how important home form is so we all know we need to sort it out right now."
