Tranmere Is A Massive Game For Us

After witnessing a poor performance last Friday, Roberto Martinez says Saturday's game away at Tranmere is a massive game for his side.

The loss at home to Huddersfield means the Swans drop down to 6th in League One, and no longer have a game in hand over leaders Carlisle who are 3 points ahead of us.

We're continuing to show no signs whatsoever of improving our home form and performances, and a good away record isn't going to be enough to get us promotion this season.

Leeds, with a 15-point deduction, are now above us, and were a team Martinez said we must finish above.

In 7 games at the Liberty, we've won only 2 of them, scoring just 6 goals and conceding 6. A record that could be compared with teams currently in the relegation zone.

It's absolutely vital then that we get a moral and confidence boosting win on Saturday. After that we're back at home against Hartlepool.

Martinez surely has to consider making 1 or 2 changes to his side this weekend. Scotland didn't perform nowhere near the standards required and I think Tate deserved to keep his place at the back, as Lawrence is vulnerable to the costly mistake, though I suppose you could argue that Tate is as well.

Guillem Bauza is yet to feature in the League and has been on fine scoring form lately, scoring 4 in the last 3 cup games. Both him and Feeney I think would be better options this Saturday to partner Darryl Duffy.

Roberto Martinez shared his views on the upcoming game and told the Evening Post:
