Planet Swans ArchivesO’Driscoll’s Doncaster entertain the Swans on saturday at the Keepmoat – a clash of two footballing minds?
And the Donny manager adds his name to the list of Swans’ admirers when he told their official website “They’re terrific
“We came up to the Championship together and you could replay our interview four years ago and I would be saying the same thing.”
“They are a team that probably do things differently to any other team in the Championship. That gives you different problems and if you can’t deal with it, then they’re going to cause you grief. In some senses, we are better prepared because we have played them so often. We know what to expect and I think that Brendan has come in and added a little bit more to what they had before. It’s no surprise to me that they are where they are and that they have done as well as they have.”
“They are a terrific side and play football the right way. They’re patient and everybody is comfortable with what they’re doing.
“Charlie Adam was a great buy for half-a-million pound last season for Blackpool and he was the catalyst for their success. Scott looks like the catalyst/goal scorer for Swansea City this term. If one player plays in one position it is difficult to do anything special with him, apart from be aware of their ability. But the whole side functions very well and we are under no illusions that this is a difficult game for us and I have stressed to the players that it is going to be difficult for different reasons. This is almost going to be a one-off for the way that they play. When your goalkeeper is one of your best passers – it says it all.”
