Britton Getting Better Says Jackett
Britton Getting Better Says Boss |
Leon Britton is a man on form at this moment in time and his manager is one person who agrees totally with that statement. Britton has made the right wing spot his own since the move from the Vetch Field last year and is now playing football that is getting better all the time according to the man who selects him every week Kenny Jackett told the Evening Post''I have said to him he can go on and be the best player at the club, In the last month or so he has stepped up. I have felt that his performances have gone up a notch. ''He is the one who is pushing on in my mind, he is the one who's improvement has been very good.'' Jackett feels that since switching Britton from centre midfield to the right, the former West Ham youngster is brimming with confidence. ''His self confidence is now coming,'' the Swansea boss said. ''He has the confidence to go past people and produce. ''Before the Port Vale game I asked him about corners because I wanted Robbo (Andy Robinson) in the middle. ''I said to Leon 'do you think that you could take these?' He wasn't so sure yet the first one he took was right on the nail. ''At 24 it's good to see that his confidence is really coming through and he has raised the bar.'' ''When I first came to the club he was a centre midfield player but he now seems to know the right midfield very well,'' Jackett added. ''When a full-back is showing him down the line he has got a nice cut back on the left which means he can go inside or cross with his left foot.'' Raising the bar is not designed to make Bayo headers fit under it What to read next:The changing timeline of when Andrew Coleman became Chairmen of Swansea City caused a stir yesterday, our twitter account getting well over eleven thousand views and increasing, which sent website views here in to their many thousands as well.

That comes in the form of Millwall who it seems are close to selling their requested 1,148 allocation, so its down to the Jack Army to do their bit this bank holiday weekend. Swansea City bring this season to a close on Saturday with a home game against Millwall. However, what about those bygone days when footballers had no choice but to go down the pit after their career ended, or open a toy shop, pub or retrain ? That thought would petrify todays modern footballer. We have been told by numerous Swansea fans of a chance meeting in a service station between Jamal Lowe and those returning from Norwich yesterday. Nothing in that or indeed the conversation they had yesterday. Indeed there has to be some interpretation from what we know already on Jamal Lowe. It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.
