Swansea boss Laudrup: We cannot allow season to peter out

Swansea City boss Michael Laudrup is demanding a top ten finish.

The Capital One Cup winners' post-Wembley hangover finally lifted on Saturday when they ended their three-match losing streak with an entertaining 2-2 draw at Norwich.

"The people in Swansea are very realistic, but you must also accept that when you get the taste of success you like it and want more. You don't want to be down at the bottom," he said.

"It will be very difficult for me, the club and players to say in August that if we can finish the season in 17th with 40 points then that would be a success.

"Maybe it would be because we are still one of the bottom clubs in terms of transfers and salaries, but it would still be hard to say that."
