Roberto Martinez believes that Rory Fallon could cause his side some problems at Plymouth tomorrow

Roberto played with Fallon for six months at Swansea before he (Roberto) was released by Kenny Jackett in the summer after the play off final.

And he watched from the side lines as Fallon scored an overhead kick in that play off final which could have taken the Swans into the Championship.   It didn't and twelve months after he arrived, Fallon was on his way out of the Liberty Stadium - a month before Roberto was returning as manager.

Whether that would have prolonged the striker's career at Swansea is open for debate but Martinez does believe that the striker has improved since his Swansea days and believes he can be a threat when the two sides meet in front of the Sky TV cameras tomorrow

Speaking in tonight's Evening Post, the Swans boss said "I think Rory has developed into a completely different player since he was here

"He has added a lot of tactical knowledge and he looks a mature player now.

"He will be a threat and we have to make sure we stop him because he plays a pivotal role for Plymouth."
