Roberto Martinez believes it would be a shame if the Swans missed out on the play offs

The former Swansea City manager believes that the team and club are ready for the Premier League and thinks it would be a bit of a surprise should they miss out on a place in the end of season play offs.

Speaking to the Evening Post, the man who left for Wigan last summer said "It's a bit of a surprise (that they could miss out) because I feel Swansea are in a very good moment to get into the play-offs and to try to get into the Premier League

"The club and the city — everything is ready for Premier League football.

"They have been in the play-offs since December and it would be a massive, massive blow to miss out now, although there is still another game to go."

He added: "It would be a shame to lose either Blackpool or Swansea from the play-off race because both are very similar in terms of their pattern of play .

"Both teams would have a fantastic day at Wembley because of the way they play."
