Bob Bradley says Swansea need to defend much better
Friday 9 December 2016 11:53, UK
Bob Bradley accepts Swansea will be relegated if they continue to defend as they have done during his two months in charge.
Swansea face fellow strugglers Sunderland at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday, and the Welsh club have conceded a league-high total of 31 goals this season, 19 of these under the American's seven-game watch.
Swansea are currently bottom of the table and Bradley knows where improvements have to be made: "We have to defend better in all areas.
"We're not going to survive if we continue to concede that number of goals. There have been moments along the way where I think we felt all right and saw a small step in the right direction.
"But that has to be more consistent because we have been conceding all different kinds of goals."
Bradley added: "We can use a defender, a guy we can count on week-in and week-out. And we need players who can hit the ground running and make an impact.
"We do not have the luxury of letting guys have three or four months to adjust to the Premier League."
As for the game against the Black Cats, Bradley went on: "We all know how big this match is, our version of a cup final.
"We've had a few of those already but this feels like the biggest one."
