They deserve massive credit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s going to happen for Luke a lot sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a good, good player and he possesses a lot of skills you can\u2019t teach. People can point to the fact he hasn\u2019t scored yet but he\u2019s doing his job bringing others into the game brilliantly and that\u2019s probably more important in our team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe showed what he can do against Bristol City but he will also be a goal threat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sure he can be a big hit for us and a bit of a star.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re very much a team and we put that first, but I\u2019m not sure it\u2019s an argument to say Cardiff v Swansea is the individual stars against a team of hard workers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think a lot of the lads have made names for themselves by what we\u2019ve done as a side and are individual threats in their own right.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve come together as a team but that\u2019s allowed players to shine. However you want to put it, it\u2019s two good sides going for it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery one has been getting bigger and bigger,\u201d he admitted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s not people just hyping it up because you only have to look at the positions we\u2019re in to see it\u2019s right.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut then again, we could both be playing Norwich and it would be a huge game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fact is we are two teams right up the top of the league going head-to-head. We both want the points and stop the other team taking them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt should be a great game and none of us can wait because we know what it means.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Swansea City defender will today be tasked with keeping quiet a Cardiff City attack that contains Michael Chopra, Craig Bellamy and Jay Bothroyd.\u00a0\u00a0 Described as the best forward line in the Championshp, Williams will be looking to help keep them quiet for the second time this season &#8211; having seen them shut out in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":453,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17937","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17937","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/453"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17937"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17937\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17937"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17937"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17937"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
