So a difficult night for Swansea fans, clearly, because when your old boys come back at Harchard, it's difficult.

But they've been absolutely outstanding for us since they've come here and we're pleased with what they're producing.

Well, first and foremost, he's an outstanding football player and as the old adage, good players can play anywhere.

But I think the first thing really that struck me was his anticipation of where the ball was going to land or where moves were going to be created.

And he was always on the front foot anticipating things.

He was doing it in midfield areas, defensive areas.

So why not do it in attacking areas?

And if he can anticipate things in the box, which he has been doing, then you're going to get on the end of things and score goals, or at least create them like he did tonight.

Well, it's a big game for us.

We understood the importance of the game.

and we talked about that before the game.

Important to get up into that middle group of teams and then build up our performances and our season from there on in.

We had a slowish start, but after 10 games, we've got exactly the same points as we had last year and the year before when we had record points accumulated in those seasons.

So it's been a slow start, but no worse than any other that we've had.
