Speak, Jamie Paterson!
"I expect the same concentration and work rate from the team to go out and win the game. I think there's pressure on both sides. Of course, on Swansea's side, they lost the derby against Bristol and they lost against us. Their recent form hasn't been great, so they'll want to prove something to their fans. The connection with the fans is always important; they are the twelfth man on the pitch for us. Even when we were in poor form, they supported the team perfectly and I told the team that we had to give something back. The last few weeks have gone very well and we're trying to give something back. We have to move forward and work together and I believe things can get a lot better. When you look at the start of the season and now, there's been a big step forward and we've really made progress."
Speak, Luke Williams!
"The boys know how important this game is for the fans and we hope we can make them proud. We know we have to perform better and it's an important game for everyone. It's a unique game where form means nothing. We'll watch today's game and reflect, but then we'll put that aside. I've been telling the new signings what the team is about and I've been telling Ronald that it's like Brazil vs Argentina or Barcelona vs Real Madrid. We're going to give everything, we know the atmosphere in the stadium will be great, everyone will be behind us and we need to make everyone proud."
