Pratley: We Can Do Better
Darren Pratley believes the Swans can do better despite toppling the league leaders in midweek
The Swansea City midfielder will be back in action on Saturday when Blackpool visit the Liberty with the home side hoping to move within a point of the side currently occupying a play off position.
Blackpool have been in strong form this season but Pratley believes the Swans are getting stronger and will continue to do so as the season progresses.
He told the Evening Post "We can play better than that and we can improve. Obviously we are happy with the result, but I don't think it was our best performance. I have been at Swansea for four years and we have played better than that, but beating a team like West Brom will help us get to our best.
"We were on top at times in the first half but didn't take our chances, so that's an area where we can do better. We need to be a bit more clinical.
"But to go to West Brom, a side who have just come out of the Premier League, is a great boost for us.
"We are seven games unbeaten and that breeds confidence.
"We are happy with the way things are going but we won't get carried away
"We have got a home game on Saturday and we want to carry things on. We have got Blackpool, Scunthorpe and then the derby and we want to keep the unbeaten run going."

Gwyn’s Eye View : Swansea City v MillwallGlyn is back with his favourite stats as we build up to the last game of the season. 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.
The fate today’s Swansea footballers would never have to endure 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.
Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road 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.
Swansea reject Cullen contract and trigger one year option Liam Cullen has had his request for a new contract dismissed by Swansea City after discussions broke down last week.
