Taylor dreams of Welsh double

by Setanta Staff , 27 January 2012 Taylor dreams of Welsh double

Swansea full-back Neil Taylor is hoping for a Welsh double after seeing Cardiff book their place in the Carling Cup final this week.


Taylor is clear in his belief that Premier League survival is the Swans' main goal in the coming months but having said that, he admits that he would dearly love to match their rivals by going all the way to the final in the FA Cup.

Brendan Rodgers' men can move a step closer to achieve that dream this weekend as they head to the Reebok Stadium for a fourth round tie against Bolton.

The Welsh international believes Cardiff's efforts on Tuesday night in seeing off Crystal Palace in a dramatic 3-1 penalty shoot-out, can only act as an extra motivation for them going into Saturday's game with the Trotters.

However, he knows that the manager may well rest one or two players as he will have one eye on Tuesday's top-flight encounter with Chelsea as well.

"I want to play, to be part of the FA Cup run - all the boys want to be involved," he said.

"Although we understand that changes may have to be made.

"We want to do really well, I think we showed that at Barnsley in the last round. It helps the confidence, it was another away win.

"It will certainly help going into Chelsea if we can get a positive result. We still love the FA Cup, the magic's still there.

"It would be great for us to get to Wembley again after Cardiff did it the other night.

"They have a tough game against Liverpool in the final but it's great for them, and great for Welsh football."
