Kitson - Swansea May Not Have A Plan B
Dave Kitson believes that despite Swansea's strong form there may not be a Plan B if his Portsmouth team mates get it right
Kitson is expected to line up alongside David Nugent for Pompey tonight after making the switch to Fratton Park in the summer.
Portsmouth are looking to put back to back defeats behind them whilst the Swans know that a victory will draw themselves level with Cardiff City in second place.
"It will be tough," said Kitson in tonight's Evening Post. "But after a couple of setbacks that can be the time when you get a good reaction, regardless of who you play.
"Swansea try to play the game in the right way, in my view, by keeping the ball on the floor, moving people about to make the pitch seem big.
"If you are quick with the ball then you can create a lot of chances, but sometimes it doesn't come off and sometimes that's when you get results that you might not expect.
"I think you can see examples at all levels of football where when a team tries to play in that way they can often be outstanding, but when things are tactically right for the opposition there sometimes isn't a plan B.
"That's something that we are going to have to try to exploit."

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.

Sam Parker hasn’t turned down a new deal, he is willing to negotiate He was a revelation for the Swans for the few games he played this season, and now it emerges Sam Parker has ‘turned down’ a new Swansea City contract. News is thin on the ground, and some of it just incorrect as he looks to involve his representatives in some further negotiations. Plus his current contract runs for two more years.
