Cameron Burgess | We want to put in a performance we can be proud of again

Cameron Burgess say Swansea City will be looking to put in a performance the travelling Jack Army can be proud of when they travel to Charlton Athletic on Saturday (3pm).

The Swans exited the League Cup at the Swansea.com Stadium against Manchester City in midweek, but only after pushing Pep Guardiola’s star-studded visitors all the way with a terrific display.

Following a fast start from the hosts, Goncalo Franco brilliantly fired the Swans ahead, and they had a big chance to double their lead when Melker Widell was denied by James Trafford, but goals from Omar Marmoush and Rayan Cherki sent the eight-time winners into the quarterfinals.

The Swans now return to Championship action on Saturday, and Australia international Burgess hopes the positives from Wednesday nigh can be carried into another positive display at The Valley. 

"Wednesday was a good occasion for the club, we went toe-to-toe with top quality opposition, one of the best teams in the world. It was always going to be difficult, but we gave it absolutely everything," said Burgess.

"We can be proud of our effort, and we can take this going in to the league. 

"We've got a busy few weeks ahead of us leading into the international break. As players at this level, that's something we're used to. We just make sure we recover well, train well and that we're always ready to go for the next one.

"It's another big game Saturday at Charlton. I've actually caught a few of their games this season, I'm expecting a tough game, but we want to put in another performance we can be proud of.

"They did really well last season to get promoted, they'll be confident going into the game following their last win, but we'll be looking to also bring confidence from the Man City game.

"We said in the dressing room after the game, as much as we have been beaten, it's something we can be proud of and we'll look to take the positives into the weekend and be at our best for the fans."
