Swansea City goalkeeper Michel Vorm has insisted that the team have "no excuses" for their defeat to West Bromwich Albion at the weekend.

The Welsh outfit took the lead, but ended up succumbing to a 2-1 loss at the hands of relegation battlers West Brom on Saturday.

"For me we can have no excuses," the South Wales Evening Post quotes Vorm as saying. "I was really looking forward to this game and after the first half I was thinking it was going to be three points and a big win for us.

"But if you don't give the same mentality in the second half and at least match what West Brom did then you will lose games. It does not matter who you play against you have to fight for the points."

The Swans are four points above the bottom three in the Premier League table with nine games left to play.
