3 games that lost Bob Bradley his job at Swansea

Swansea 1-4 West Ham (Boxing Day)

Swansea would have identified the two post-Christmas home games against West Ham and Bournemouth as two big chances to get themselves out of the bottom three, and Bradley would have known that his future ultimately depended on those games.

As it happens, the Swansea board had seen enough after their 4-1 thumping at home by West Ham on Boxing Day.

Goals from Andre Ayew, Winston Reid, Michail Antonio, and Andy Carroll condemned Bradley to a seventh defeat in 11 games in what turned out to be his final one in the Liberty Stadium dugout.

Eight points from a possible 33, and 29 goals conceded in that time – it’s fair to say that it hasn’t worked for Bradley since his arrival in English football, and his sacking on Tuesday was hardly a surprise.
