Match Preview
Time to move on - Taylor Defender Neil Taylor insists Swansea will not suffer any hangover from their Molineux disappointment when they face Bolton at the Liberty Stadium. Brendan Rodgers' side had looked on course for a first Barclays Premier League away win against Wolves last weekend, but lost a 2-0 lead in the final six minutes to end up taking only a point from their meeting with Mick McCarthy's side. But they have the chance to bounce back and continue their excellent home record as Owen Coyle's struggling Wanderers head to south Wales. And left-back Taylor, 22, says the hosts are ready to put on another impressive showing. Taylor said: "Last week almost felt like a loss if we are honest. It was one where we lost two points instead of gaining one. "But we have moved on from it, when you sit back and reflect on it and watch the video for 80-odd minutes we were very good. "After defeat at Norwich it was a massive improvement, and it had to be because the performance at Norwich wasn't good enough. "When you step back and look at things it was a really good performance away from home and it's something we can build on. We are back on home turf this week and hopefully we can do well this week. "The gaffer did not have to tell anyone anything after the game. We were all sat there and knew that what happened wasn't good enough." Rodgers is likely to name an unchanged side for the match. Midfielder Kemy Agustien is back in training following a hamstring problem but the Liberty Stadium contest comes too soon for the Dutchman, while defender Steven Caulker is targeting next month's meeting with Manchester United for his return from a knee injury. Bolton manager Coyle has backed Darren Pratley to go on a goalscoring run once the midfielder opens his Wanderers account. And he hopes that will be against former club Swansea. Pratley was frequently on the scoresheet for his old employers, but has not found the net in 12 appearances since joining the Trotters in the summer. Coyle believes the 26-year-old's first Bolton goal is getting nearer and that when it arrives, plenty more will follow. Asked if Pratley was delivering what Coyle had hoped to get from him, the manager said: "I think for the most part, yes, but we know there is more to come from him, because one thing he has always been is a real goal threat from the middle of the park. "It will come for him. He has been doing terrifically with the energy and quality he is bringing. "He could have had two or three goals against Sunderland (a 2-0 loss last weekend) and on another day he will. "He has got to keep banging on the door and it will fly wide open for him - when it does, those goals will go in." Pratley spent five seasons with Swansea, during which time they won promotion to the Championship and then in May this year, to the Barclays Premier League. He is set to play against the Swans for the first time when Bolton travel to the Liberty Stadium and Coyle feels Pratley deserves a warm welcome from the Welsh outfit's supporters. "Darren was outstanding for Swansea - the goals he scored, the energy he brought, the performances he gave," Coyle said. "He loved every second of his time there, but players move on and he came to Bolton Wanderers. "I'd be very hopeful that the Swansea fans will give him the reception he deserves, given what he brought to the football club over many years and the huge contribution he made in helping them get to the Premier League." Bolton defender Dedryck Boyata has been ruled out of the clash. Boyata, who is on loan from Manchester City, has been nursing an ankle problem sustained in the league game against Sunderland last weekend and is now facing six weeks on the sidelines with the injury. He has returned to parent club City for treatment.

Match Report
Second-half showing sees Swans soar Swansea maintained their unbeaten Premier League home record as three second-half goals gave them a 3-1 win over 10-man Bolton at the Liberty Stadium. The game was turned decisively in the hosts' favour early in the second half as Bolton had Ricardo Gardner sent off after collecting a second booking and Joe Allen gave Swansea the lead from the resulting free-kick. Scott Sinclair got the second as he converted his third spot-kick of the season in the 57th minute after Darren Pratley, formerly of Swansea, had fouled Angel Rangel in the area. Bolton were given a lifeline when Swansea conceded at home for the first time this term as Graham put through his own net, but the club record signing redeemed himself by slotting his fourth goal in four games in added time as Swansea claimed a vital three points ahead of upcoming fixtures against Liverpool and Manchester United. Bolton had defended obdurately during the opening half, and came close to taking a first-half lead through David Ngog, but this defeat will only increase the pressure on manager Owen Coyle with his side ensconced in the relegation zone. Swansea had made a typically fluent opening but became frustrated by a well-organised visiting defence as the half wore on. They came close to an opener when Sinclair just failed to get a touch on Nathan Dyer's inviting ball across the box, while Mark Gower sliced a volley wide following assured build-up between Neil Taylor, Sinclair and Allen. Gardner had dragged an early effort well wide at the other end after Dyer had been robbed by Mark Davies. And it was Bolton who had the best effort of the opening 45 minutes as Ngog's smart turn and volley forced Michel Vorm to acrobatically tip the ball over the bar. But Swansea received a huge boost within four minutes of the restart as they took the lead moments after Bolton were reduced to 10 men. Graham had come within inches of finding the opener as he shot wide from a Sinclair pass before the game was turned on its head. Gardner was dismissed after he picked up a second booking for a cynical tug on Dyer, and from the resulting free-kick Allen was afforded far too much room by Gary Cahill and Gretar Steinsson to shoot low into Jaaskelainen's bottom right-hand corner. Dyer almost added a second after 50 minutes as he jinked his way into the box to force Jaaskelainen to block with his legs. Coyle withdrew Martin Petrov to bring on Paul Robinson as a defensive reinforcement but it made little difference as Jaaskelainen was again called into action to parry an angled Sinclair drive behind. But the resulting corner saw Pratley bring down Rangel and concede a penalty, which Sinclair planted into the right-hand corner for a 2-0 lead after 57 minutes. Sinclair then shot just wide of the post with Bolton in disarray before Graham headed onto the bar with Jaaskelainen rooted to the spot. But Wanderers were then given an unlikely avenue back into the game as Graham's attempt to block a Chris Eagles shot only succeeded in deflecting the ball beyond Vorm and into the net. Sinclair had a great chance to seal the win with eight minutes left but could only hit the bar after being picked out by Dyer's intelligent cutback. Coyle threw skipper Cahill up front for the final minutes but he had little impact and Graham wrapped up the win in injury time as he was given the freedom of the Bolton half to race clear and beat Jaaskelainen.
