Luke Williams says Swansea City’s players have no choice but to cope with the weight of expectation in front of goal.
Swansea suffered a painful defeat to Millwall on Saturday despite creating a number of opportunities to end their goal drought, before Casper de Norre scored a late winner with the Lions’ only chance of the game.
Williams’ team have now played 525 minutes of football since their last goal, which came against Bristol City on 29 September.
They are the lowest scorers in the second tier having netted only eight times in their first 12 league games of 2024-25.
“There’s a lot of noise around football and Championship level is a big level,” Williams said.
“If that affects the players, I’m sorry but you have to get on with it because there isn’t a single striker on the planet who isn’t under pressure and doesn’t feel some pressure to score a goal.
“We have to overcome that, for sure.”
Swansea will return to action at Oxford United next Saturday, where they will aim to score for the first time in six league games.
