Russell Martin | We have a springboard to try and finish season strongly
Russell Martin wants Swansea City to use their back-to-back victories over Bristol City and Cardiff City as a base from which to ensure they finish the season strongly.
Russell Martin is the first head coach or manager to have four-straight south Wales derby victories to his name, and the Swansea City boss feels the most special part of creating history is that his side have done so by being totally committed to their identity.
Russell Martin dedicated Swansea City’s dramatic 3-2 south Wales derby win at Cardiff City to mascot Morgan Ridler, after the brave three-year-old led the team out alongside skipper Matt Grimes at the Cardiff City Stadium.
Swansea City head coach Russell Martin savoured sharing emotions of a dramatic south Wales derby victory with players, staff and supporters after Ben Cabango’s 99th-minute winner gave the visitors the bragging rights at Cardiff City Stadium.
Saturday's south Wales derby is the latest edition of a rivalry stretching back over 111 years. Through the highs and lows, famous victories and heartbreaking defeats, these are days that just hit different. They shape the history, memories and passion we share as supporters, as a team, and as a club.
See you on Saturday, Jack Army.
Russell Martin insists he will never view the South Wales derby as just another game, and is hoping to give Swansea City supporters a performance and result to be proud of at Cardiff City on Saturday.
