Swansea boss Rodgers explains huddle after victory over Blackburn

Swansea City boss Brendan Rodgers explained their end of match huddle after victory over Blackburn Rovers.

The Northern Irishman led a post-match huddle between squad and management on the Liberty Stadium pitch, which he said summed up the bond that exists at the club.

"That was a symbol of our togetherness. We have had to stick together over the last four games," he said. "At one stage people were saying we might be going into Europe, and the next people were saying everyone had worked out how to beat Swansea.

"But really nothing had changed. It's just that at this level, if you make mistakes you get punished. It was also an opportunity for the players to come together and show their appreciation to the supporters.

"We are very much a club and that includes the supporters too. It is not a nice thing to lose four games, but going forward it was a good experience.

"There were always going to be adverse moments in this journey.

"But when you get to the other side it is a wonderful place and it was a nice to have everyone together at the end."
