Rotherham United manager Matt Taylor feels his side are in good spirits heading to Swansea City tonight following an impressive mid-week victory over Sunderland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Millers will be hoping to build on their first win since early January, but face a stern test even with the Swans being on a poor run of form themselves.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A win for the Yorkshire side will see them move eight points clear of the relegation zone, while Swansea will be looking to stop themselves falling further into the bottom half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Taylor said: \u201cThere\u2019s a bounce from both the performance and the points. We certainly feel better about ourselves going into this game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve been playing football in the right areas, pushing the opposition backwards and going towards their goal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The game is set to be a contrast of styles, with both managers commenting on the way their opponents play in the build up to the match. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Swansea City head coach, Russell Martin said: \u201cRotherham are very good at what they do. They run and work very hard, they\u2019ll be aggressive in their approach and make it as difficult as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Taylor equally believes the Swans will pose his side a tough test despite being on a poor run themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said: \u201cWe know how difficult it will be, certainly on their home patch at their stadium which really suits the way they play. We have to find a way of putting them under pressure with or without the ball, and that will be a process that we\u2019ll go through over the weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Swansea have made a name for themselves under Martin by keeping the ball very effectively, and have both one of the highest percentages of possession while also making the most progressive passes<\/a>. Rotherham are on the complete other end of the spectrum, relying on direct passing, combined with the physicality and work-rate, of striker Jordan Hugill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
