Consistency is key, says Wayne

Wayne Routledge insists consistency is the buzzword around the Swansea City squad as they head for the final straight of the Premier League season.

The Swans welcome Crystal Palace to the Liberty Stadium on Sunday in what is a crucial game for both sides.

Palace sit just two points and two places outside the relegation zone at the time of writing, while Garry Monk's side are four points clear of safety.

And if either side can claim all three points, it could go a long way to ensuring another season in the top-flight.

But Routledge, who goes up against his former club, believes that putting a run of results together will be key between now and May.

"There's no getting away from the fact that we've got games coming up where we can potentially pick up a lot of points," he told Jack Magazine, the official matchday programme.

"But it is down to ourselves to get the consistency in our performances in order to pick up those points.

"Consistency is going to be key, especially when there are this many games in such a short space of time.

"Everyone knows what they are going to get when they play Swansea, but it's now up to us to put that together on a regular basis."

Also in Sunday's programme, we take a look back at the 1993-94 season in our 'Swansea City Years' feature, and Jose Canas opens up about his debut season in English football.

As well as this, former Swans player Darren Pratley recalls a previous clash against Crystal Palace, and Jonjo Shelvey is placed 'Under the Spotlight'.

There is all this and much, much more so don't forget to get your hands on a copy from around the Liberty Stadium.
