In-form Swann praised as Weymouth prepare for Slimbridge

Swann was on target again as the Terras responded to their first league defeat of the season with a convincing 3-0 victory over Willand Rovers on Tuesday night.

The goal continued an outstanding run in front of goal for Swann, who has now scored in six consecutive matches in all competitions.

His streak began in the 3-0 victory at Barnstaple Town before goals against Bristol Manor Farm, Sholing, Shaftesbury, Tiverton Town and Willand Rovers.

On Swann's form, Wells said: “He's a real threat and he creates a lot of chances and causes problems.

“Last season, if he could have added a few goals to his game, it could well have been a different story for him.

“I'm really pleased he's started to put these chances away and his goal on Tuesday was a great finish and a well-taken goal.”

Swann will look to extend that run when league leaders Weymouth travel to Thornhill Park to face Slimbridge on today.

The Terras head into the contest in formidable away form, having won seven of their eight league matches on the road and drawn the other.

Despite the contrast between the sides in the table, Wells is determined his players will not take anything for granted.

“I don't think any game in this league is easy,” he said.

“We'll be preparing for it as we would do any other game, regardless of what their position in the league is.

“We've got to make sure we're at our best, so we'll certainly be getting ready for the game properly and taking it seriously, as you'd expect.”

That message has added relevance after Slimbridge showed their ability to cause an upset by recording a 2-0 victory away at Dorchester Town last month.

Wells added: “Don't take anything for granted, everything's got to go on every inch and every point. There's no let-off.

“Take each game as it comes, rather than always looking ahead, and just focus on the next game, be prepared for it and on we go.”

On the injury front, Matt Neale remains sidelined, while Brooklyn Genesini is rated 50-50 after suffering a knock in training.

Wells nevertheless remains happy with the depth available to him and is not actively seeking reinforcements.

“I'm happy with what we've got,” he said. “I've said that all along that I'm happy with the squad that we've got.

“We never take our eyes off what's out there, but I'm not actively desperate to go and sign anyone.”
