Scott - Goals Come From Playing A Great Team
Scott Sinclair set his sights on 20 goals for the season after his penalty double at the weekend
Swansea City's bargain buy of the summer netted twice within five minutes against Crystal Palace on Saturday taking his tally of goals for the season to 16.
And his next landmark is twenty goals although you have to suspect he would like to get beyond that figure with the Swans pushing for promotion to the Premier League.
Speaking to the Western Mail Scott said “I’m not far away (from 20 goals) now, if I can keep playing well then hopefully I will reach it
“I’ve still got a lot to give. I’m happy with my goals but it comes from playing in a great team.
“They are supplying me with the chances to score the goals and if I can keep working hard then hopefully I can keep scoring goals and the team can move up the table.
“It’s the first time I’ve ever had two penalties in five minutes and I’m pleased they went in,” admitted Bath-born Sinclair.
“If I’m taking the penalties then I’ve got to be very confident.
“It was tight in the first half but that’s where I’ve got to come up with different game plans.
“We put together a nice one-two and then led to the opening goal for Prats.
“Sometimes you’ve got to change your normal performance to come up with different things so it’s not easy for them.
“I’ll keep working hard to try and get a few more goals.”

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.
