Swansea City could take their highest position for 27 years should they beat Millwall at the Liberty this evening and Rodgers says that his side are not afraid to take on the pressure that comes with being in the automatic promotion spaces.<\/p>\n
Moving above rivals Cardiff City is the reward as well for a win tonight, something that Brendan knows will keep the supporters happy at least until tomorrow.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a big incentive for us. Swansea have a great history so it\u2019s important for the players to keep creating history.” he told the Evening Post<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s important for us to concentrate on picking up the three points. People look at the permutations of getting the three points, when it\u2019s just important to do the job.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut there is absolutely no doubt it will give us a psychological boost to move into the top two and put a marker down.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce you go into the top two, you move into a different zone and different mindset. It\u2019s a different position and different pressures come with that.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut we enjoy the pressure. We enjoy our work and winning will enable us to take the next step.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know it will be important for our supporters to go above Cardiff and I don\u2019t underestimate that, but we just want to keep moving forward.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I\u2019m not afraid to look at the table.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t get as emotional as directors and supporters possibly do where they see every move as a massive turning point.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut we are up there anyway because of the nature of the way we play and the way the team has progressed.<\/p>\n
\u201cTeams are coming to Liberty Stadium and it\u2019s fantastic for them to come and get a draw.<\/p>\n
\u201cHome games are becoming more difficult. We have to play as though we are a big team.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
