Russell Martin on Preston manager Ryan Lowe:ย ย “Theyโve done brilliantly under Ryan. He did a fantastic job at Plymouth. Heโs already changing the style.
“Very similar to his Plymouth side, they like to dominate the ball and press really hard. Itโll be a difficult game.
“They’ve been in a really good run of form since heโs gone in. Theyโre physical, aggressive and heโs turned them into a team he wants them to be.
“Itโs not going to be easy as theyโre physical and relentless.”
Ryan Lowe on Swansea City:ย โTheyโre very well organised, very well coached. A brand of football thatโs great, risky at times, but thatโs Russ, he wants to do that.
โI play the same style myself, but I have different risk elements than Russ does. Theyโre always on the front foot and they want to play.
โHeโs got a very good coaching brain, a good coaching philosophy of where he wants to try and get Swansea City to.”
