The Swansea City midfielder has made some impressive appearances for the team since his return from injury but has yet to feel as if he has cemented the place he craves in the midfield.<\/p>\n
Another impressive display at Doncaster on Saturday appears to have placed him in the front line to start on Friday night against Portsmouth and that is just the start of his aims at the moment.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have to step up my game now to get in the starting eleven,\u201d he told the Western Mail.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am ready to go and get promotion with Swansea City.<\/p>\n
\u201cDefence is not my usual position but if the team needs me and the gaffer puts me in there I will do my best to help bring the points home.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will always try to bring my own quality into the game and hopefully I proved that with the final ball for the goal.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have to keep going myself because I have just come back from injury.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve worked hard and it\u2019s not easy to come into the team because everybody is playing well and the team is doing good.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut if I keep going like this I\u2019m sure my chance will come.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t feel as if I have to prove my quality to the rest of the squad, I think everybody knows it and that is why the gaffer put me on at the end.<\/p>\n
\u201cI always prepare as if I am going to play every game.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course it\u2019s disappointing when you don\u2019t but if the gaffer makes a decision I have to deal with that.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have to make sure when I get on the pitch I can prove my ability and show the gaffer he is wrong.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have to believe that we are the best and then go out and prove it.<\/p>\n
\u201cTeams have to think about us.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe only time we will have problems is if we don\u2019t play our own game.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have to keep the confidence and trust in ourselves to keep moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
