Lawrence adds to Swansea's woes
Dennis Lawrence
Lawrence joined Swansea from Wrexham last week
Swansea's miserable start to the season continued when new signing Dennis Lawrence was injured in the 3-2 Liberty Stadium Carling Cup loss to Wycombe.

"He came off after pulling his groin early on," said Swansea manager Kenny Jackett, who expects Lawrence to be out for three-to-four weeks.

Lawrence, 32, joined for �75,000 from Wrexham after a serious injury to Swans captain and centre-back Garry Monk.

But Jackett said he had no regrets on fielding a strong side against Wycombe.

"There have been a lot of changes to the team and it needs time to bed in," he said.

This squad has the ability, but it needs some self belief

Kenny Jackett

"We're short of confidence and belief as a unit. That's why I didn't really lay into them at the end - we need to build morale, not knock it.

"There's no doubting that the performance left a lot to be desired. We couldn't hold the ball or create chances, it was very average.

"The players have taken a few knocks from the match, but we'll gather and go again at Leyton Orient on Saturday.

"This squad has the ability, but it needs some self belief."
