Scotland won’t be the only former striker in opposition though after Ipswich completed the signing of Rory Fallon from Plymouth last week.<\/p>\n
And vice captain Alan Tate knows what to expect from two of his former team mates<\/p>\n
“I don’t think he ever got the credit he deserved when he was here,” he told the Evening Post.<\/p>\n
“But his record speaks for itself \u2014 50-odd goals in two years. We would take that now, wouldn’t we?<\/p>\n
“Some of the fans never really seemed to take to him, but that can happen.<\/p>\n
“Fans take to some players and don’t to others.<\/p>\n
“It didn’t really go well for him at Wigan, but he has got a few goals already for Ipswich and that’s no surprise.<\/p>\n
“You know Jase will score goals in this league.”<\/p>\n
And he was equally as praising of Fallon when he added “He is a handful<\/p>\n
“Maybe things have not gone so well for Plymouth in the last couple of years and that has made life harder for Rory.<\/p>\n
“But he is a good player. He is big and strong and he’s good at what he does, so he will be another threat.”<\/p>\n
And one Swansea will have to smother if they are to continue a proud run of avoiding back-to-back defeats which stretches back to May 2009.<\/p>\n
