Planet Swans ArchivesBritton captained the Swans on Tuesday night against Hull but will return to his watching role on Saturday as Monk will return to, in the main, the players who have got his team into 7th place in the Premier League.
The league though is bunching and opponents Southampton may be 16th but they could leap above the Swans on Saturday with a two goal win so it is important that we get something out of the game and put to bed the last three results that have seen us fail to hit the back of the net.
We had more than enough chances on Tuesday night to secure the win against Hull but it was not to be as Hull took one of their few chances whilst we were intent on wasting most of ours costing us a place in the Fourth Round of the competition in the process.
We go to St Mary’s on Saturday looking to inflict another defeat on a Southampton side who have not yet reached the heights that they set for themselves last season.
รขโฌลIt was very frustrating because we created a lot of chances, particularly in the first half, and we should have been a few goals up before they scored,รขโฌย said Britton, talking about the Hull game.
รขโฌลThatรขโฌโขs football though. If you donรขโฌโขt take your chances then you wonรขโฌโขt win.
รขโฌลThey got their goal and that allowed them to sit back and defend to see the game out.
รขโฌลItรขโฌโขs very frustrating as we wanted to do well in the cup. We know how great this competition is and we had ambitions of making a real go of it.
รขโฌลBut thereรขโฌโขs no time to dwell on this. Our focus quickly moves to Saturdayรขโฌโขs game and we must mentally prepare for it as well as tactically.รขโฌย
