But I don&#8217;t believe there is a massive difference. &#8220;I certainly feel it&#8217;s a step we can cope with because I think our players will be suited to life in a higher division. &#8220;The talent we have within the squad and the way we can move the ball about, if allowed, will give us a great chance.&#8221; Curtis has also been pleased with the way pre-season preparations have gone, despite the lack of top quality friendlies. &#8220;We&#8217;ve had six good weeks preparing for the season and it has gone really well,&#8221; he added. &#8220;To have everyone fit for the start of the season must be a first. &#8220;It&#8217;s going to make it that much more difficult to pick the team for Saturday, but it&#8217;s a nice problem to have. &#8220;Everyone is raring to go and fighting for their place.&#8221; Meanwhile, a young Swansea side kept up the winning habit with a 2-0 victory at Tiverton last night. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;The Wigan game can&#8217;t come quick enough,&#8221; declared Curtis. &#8220;Everyone is looking forward to it. &#8220;The spirit in the camp is unbelievable and I&#8217;ve got no doubt in my own mind that we can surprise a few people this season. &#8220;True, the step up a division means we&#8217;ll find the going a lot harder than [&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":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7582","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7582","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=7582"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7582\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7582"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7582"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jackarmy.net\/wp67\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7582"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
