More words from the two managers as the Swans win 1-0 at Plymouth

Roberto Martinez

“It was not just Jason’s goal but his overall performance that pleased me. It was the same with the team, it was more important that the performance was there – and it was again.

“I knew that Plymouth would put us under pressure and when they did we were strong enough to stand up to it.

“I would have loved to have scored more goals but it would be wrong of me to be critical of the side after a performance like that.

“Finishing is something that we can work on but I am delighted for Jason that he has got his touch back and his first goal in the Championship. He worked really hard for it.”

Paul Sturrock

“I came to the game with a spring in my step after the way we had trained and felt that we could do something, our shape looked good and I was really looking forward to the game.

“Now though I am flummoxed and I can only apologise to the fans.

“We looked disjointed and we lacked confidence and belief on the ball.

“I don’t think Swansea put us under any undue pressure when we had the ball but at least we could have taken more than one touch ... we didn’t and we paid the price.

“At the end of the day I ask them to play accurate balls into the strikers and I didn’t see any.

“There is a lot of work that needs doing with this squad, I have said it before and I will say it again: it’s going to take time, as today proves.”
