Ashley Williams: 'Garry Monk needs backing of Swansea City players'

Swansea City captain Ashley Williams believes that his teammates need to voice their support publicly for under-fire manager Garry Monk.

Swansea City captain Ashley Williams has claimed that his side's players have been guilty of failing to voice their support publicly for manager Garry Monk.

The 36-year-old position has come under intense scrutiny following a run of just one win in nine Premier League matches.

Williams told BBC Sport after his side's 2-2 draw against Bournemouth: "This is me coming out and backing the manager officially because I don't think we've done that enough.

"We back him, of course we back him. I thought about it in the week that we haven't really come out enough and said that we back him.

"We're trying to do it for him as well as ourselves. We see how hard he works and see he's coming in for a lot of stick at the minute."

The result on Saturday saw Swansea remain 14th in the Premier League table and leave them five points clear of the relegation zone.
