Swans need to change style of play

Last updated : 01 August 2005 By Gary Fish
Swansea City manager Kenny Jackett says his side have had to alter their playing style to adapt to their new ground.

"The playing surface is superb, it's fantastic, but the game is slightly different," said Jackett.

"It's more open than the Vetch, you need more control of the ball and more control of the play.

"There's some very wide, open spaces and you need to be athletic to get yourself into the game as well."

Jackett's side kick-off the new cmpaign next Saturday with a home match against Tranmere Rovers at the New Stadium.
