February 'a new start' for Swans
Goalkeeper Lawrence Vigoroux says the month of February represents "a new start" for Swansea City in the Championship. Saturday's 1-0 win at Bristol City was the Swans' first victory of 2025 and came after a widely criticised transfer window for the club in which captain Matt Grimes left for Championship rivals Coventry City. Vigoroux, 31, made a number of important saves at Ashton Gate to help secure a much needed win for Luke Williams' side. "We definitely needed it, if I'm being honest it wasn't the best January ever in terms of matches that we've played," said Vigoroux. "It's a new start, a new month. We put in a great performance and I think we deserved it for how we defended and Tymo's [Josh Tymon] goal at the other end. "It's a mentality thing, we were ready to work really hard for each other, we can't say that once every four games, it has to be every single game and it's something that we've got to challenge ourselves to do." Swansea will hope to follow up their win at Bristol City when they host play-off contenders Sheffield Wednesday on Wednesday (19:45 GMT) and then visit Stoke City on Saturday. "We've got some big games coming up this week. If we can take the mentality that we showed into the rest of the games this season, we'll be fine," added Vigoroux. "We've got a big game in the week and that's all we're going to be looking forward to - we can't look past that, another tough game against a well drilled side. "We know the qualities that they have and we have just got to show them what we're good at and hopefully we can come away with the three points".
