Russell Martin will send his side out against Reading this afternoon looking to overcome the tiredness that seems to have impacted us the last twice we have played the third game in a week.<\/p>\n
Defeats against Birmingham and Bournemouth ended the last two weeks where we have played three times in a week and undone some of the good work that had gone before those games.\u00a0 \u00a0Tomorrow he looks to build on our home form together with adding points to the four that we have picked up this week following the draw against Blackpool and the midweek win over Barnsley.<\/p>\n
The Swans boss says that we will have learned from the two defeats referenced and he is glad this time that the third game is at home which means it is just about the energy and nothing to do with the travelling.<\/p>\n
He admits that there are some tired bodies following the midweek win and that is anticipated to see both Olivier Ntcham and Ryan Manning return to the starting line up after their impact appearances as substitutes in midweek.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are a few tired bodies from midweek, and we have to be aware of it being the third game in the week and learn from the previous two games – Bournemouth and Birmingham \u2013 that were the third games in past periods,\u201d said Martin at his press conference.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a home game rather than two away games in a row so it\u2019s not about travelling this time. It\u2019s the energy at the end of the week that is the big thing.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve had some really tough games against Blackpool and Barnsley, and to come out of it like we have is very nice.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of work to do, and progress to make.\u201d<\/p>\n
