I have always thought that letting Bayo go was a big mistake.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;He knows where the goals are and I thought he would have made a good partnership with Jason Scotland.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Let&#39;s hope the ex-Swansea curse doesn&#39;t strike again as it did with Willy Gueret and Kenny Jackett.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;The Bristol Rovers game is tricky, particularly because of the pitch &#8211; or cabbage patch as I call it. At professional level it is not acceptable, but Swansea have to deal with it.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;It&#39;s a local derby of some sorts and Roberto will need to evaluate all of his options for this game.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;You are caught between the devil and the deep blue sea &#8211; if the pitch is dry and bobbly, you can&#39;t play football.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;If it&#39;s wet and boggy, you can&#39;t play football.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Good teams have to adjust to different tactics sometimes and Swansea have already shown that this season.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;They are capable of getting at least six points from the three away games, but I think &#8211; with the quality of the squad &#8211; they will take all nine.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>James also jumped on the don&#39;t panic statements by saying &quot;Some fans across Swansea have been reaching for the panic button, but fear not, Roberto Martinez will lead them to the title.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>And I am sure there isn&#39;t a Swansea fan out there who would want him to be wrong on this occasion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>James believes that the Swans can beat Northampton, Bristol Rovers and Southend next week to secure a maximum away haul which would put them even more in the driving seat for League One glory than it does now.
