BOSS Scott Parker insisted Swansea were “creating new ideas” under head coach Russell Martin and expected a tough test at Vitality Stadium tomorrow (3pm).

Martin has guided the Swans to 11th in the Championship table, with 23 points from 16 games, having taken over at Liberty Stadium in August.

The Welsh outfit have however won four of their past five contests.

Speaking about this weekend’s visitors, Parker said: “They are a really good side.

“The manager has gone in there and started slowly, as you’d expect from a new manager coming in creating new ideas.

“But certainly the way they have picked up results you can clearly see they are a good side.

“They have a clear way about them, so it’s going to be a really tough game for us. We understand that.

“We need to be fully aware of the assets and problems they are going to cause us, which we will be. There are also elements to our game which I feel can hurt them as well.

“If there’s one thing I can be assured and confident of is that tomorrow’s going to be a very tough game.”

Cherries, who are two points clear at the top of the table, are looking to get back to winning ways after a 2-1 defeat to Preston last time out.
