MATT VOWS: WE’LL KEEP ON PASSING

Midfielder says Rodon’s mistake won’t affect Swans’ style of football

MATT Grimes says Swansea City will continue with their brand of passing football despite a mistake leading to Sheffield Wednesday’s goal on Saturday.

Joe Rodon’s lapse in concentration saw the Owls take the lead at a rainsoaked Liberty, before quickfire goals from Bersant Celina and Wayne Routledge set Graham Potter’s men on their way to a 2-1 win.

Midfielder Grimes came to the defence of youngster Rodon, who has been impressive since his graduation to the first team at the start of the campaign

“Myself and a lot of the other lads said to Joe that it’s probably his first mistake all season,” Grimes said.

“You don’t need to worry about that. Things are going to happen, we’re a footballing team, we like to play out from the back, we all like to get on the ball.

“We’re going to make mistakes and concede goals from it. It’s just the nature of the beast really.

“We all know our ability, we all know we want to play a certain type of way, so even if we concede and lose it’s the way we want to play.

“If we lose games playing the way we want to play, then so be it.

“We dominated large parts of the game and we knew that if we just kept playing our stuff that eventually we’d create chances and get goals.

“So going 1-0 behind we just had to stick to the plan, keep what we were doing and thankfully we did that.”

Swansea travel to Hull this weekend with Potter hoping he will have Mike van der Hoorn back in the ranks after the centre-back went off at half-time suffering from a virus.
