The testimonial man put in a near faultless performance as the Swans kept the Terriers at bay to equal a club record twelve unbeaten league games on the road and move one closer to the overall record of nineteen.<\/p>\n
And whilst a first team place may not have been too often containing the name O'Leary this season, Kris did make the most of his chance despite his pre-match nerves.<\/p>\n
"I spoke to the gaffer before the game and he asked me how I felt about playing in central defence," he told the Evening Post.<\/p>\n
"I was a bit nervous because I haven't played there a lot lately, maybe once last season and once or twice the season before that.<\/p>\n
"You get into a rhythm when you're playing and I haven't been playing that often, and I was coming back in on a ground where we haven't played too well over the years.<\/p>\n
"It was a test for me, but I said 'Of course' when the gaffer asked me and I think I did all right.<\/p>\n
"I prefer playing in central midfield. That's where I've had probably my best spell and there's more to do in that position. But we kept a clean sheet against a Huddersfield side who are a handful.<\/p>\n
"I'm sure as soon as Monks gets fit he'll be back in because he's been one of our best players this season. His leadership and performances have been class.<\/p>\n
"I don't know whether he'll be fit for Millwall, but there's Den as well and Kev can play centre-back too, so we'll see what happens."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
