Swansea City - No Tate For Lincoln Trip

''I've learned a lot about my new team from that game,'' Jackett said.

''I've learned that we've got some good footballers in the side and that we've got some wide players who can do something. But I thought at times we looked a bit brittle. In terms of physical stature Rhyl were stronger than us all over the pitch.

''We lacked strength in the box and that's why the two goals stemmed originally from corners - they were a danger from set-pieces all night.

''I've just spoken to the players and told them it's about coming into the real world for us. ''We've got to find a balance so that some of the players we have got are allowed to play. We need to be bigger and stronger.''

The Swans were without ten first team squad regulars on the night. Andy Robinson, Leon Britton, Kevin Nugent, Izzy Iriekpen, Michael Howard, James Thomas and Karl Connolly were all injured.

On top of that, the Swans deadline-day signings, Leyton Maxwell, Matthew Rees and Lee Fieldwick were all unable to play in the competition.

Of the seven injured players on Wednesday, only Kevin Nugent seems set to return to the squad. But added to the absent list is Alan Tate who injured his foot in Rhyl.
