Monk salutes stubborn Swans

The Swans kept their seventh clean sheet of the season in the 2-0 victory over nine-man QPR on Saturday. Monk, who has been at the Liberty Stadium since 2004, believes manager Paulo Sousa deserves the plaudits for their improvement. The Swansea captain told Wales Online: "That's seven (clean sheets) so far this year, six in the league, and I think that's an amazing record for us. It suggests we're more solid this year than we were last and I certainly think that's the case myself. "Dorus de Vries has been in great form and the saves he pulled off on Saturday before we got the breakthrough was testament to that. "But we've also been a lot more tactical in training under the new gaffer and I think people can see the benefits of that defensively for themselves."
