The Swansea City midfielder’s goal yesterday matched his total for last season and he has set his sights on surpassing that target – even joking that he is aiming on catching 16 goal Scott Sinclair.<\/p>\n
Darren told the official website “It was a good team performance to get three goals and three points, we had to be patient because Palace came and put 10 men behind the ball.<\/p>\n
“But the crowd helped us by being patient as well. They let us play our football and didn’t put pressure on us – and that’s what you need when teams come here for a point.<\/p>\n
“I’m happy to get seven goals by January. I’ve already matched my total from last season, but hopefully there will be a few more to come.<\/p>\n
“Scott (Sinclair) must be worried I’m going to catch him because he’s grabbing the penalties as well now<\/p>\n
“It was a great bit of skill from Nathan to get the penalty, he would have got a shot away if he hadn’t gone down. But I’m glad he was knocked down because we all know what Nathan’s shooting is like!<\/p>\n
“But, seriously, he’s been different class since he’s been here. He may have got the man of the match award in front of the live cameras, but we all know that was a normal performance from him. He does that week in week out.”<\/p>\n
Pratley also explained the T signal that he made when he scored “The T was for my brother and his mates, they have a Thursday club with poker nights and things like that.<\/p>\n
“He wanted me to wear a t-shirt, but I don’t like wearing anything under my shirt. So I gave him the sign T for the Thursday club instead – he’ll be happy with that.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
