REDS boss Andy Ritchie gave his thoughts ahead of tomorrow's clash with Swansea City.</p>

&quot;Obviously Bobby Hassell is out of this weekend's game against Swansea. We have has some good news today as Bobby has seen his own doctor in Mansfield and he does not think there is anything broken.</p>

&quot;Bobby will not be fit enough to tomorrow but will come in to the Club to see our doctor and we will determine the best course of action. Hopefully there will only be severe bruising and he will only be out of action for two or maybe three weeks.</p>

&quot;Everybody else is fit and ready for Saturday.</p>

&quot;We do not have a huge problem for the weekend in midfield and in my eyes we have only lost Bobby from the squad. We knew that Jacob Burns was going and we knew that Brian Howard would be suspended so it is not a problem. I have discussed a few things with some of the lads and asked their opinions so I know who will play. I am not going to give anything away just yet.</p>

&quot;We have worked hard in training today and done some extra team shape. We will be ready for Swansea.</p>

&quot;Anthony McParland will be back in the squad tomorrow and he was unlucky not to be involved at Bournemouth. I felt we needed a little more defensive cover at Dean Court and Anthony was the one to miss out.</p>

&quot;Kyle Nix will be in the matchday squad tomorrow but I do not expect him to be involved amongst the substitutes. He will be with us and around the dressing room to get the chance to experience what it is like here.</p>

&quot;I was not that pleased with our second half display at Bournemouth and neither were the player to be honest. We were the better side before then, kept the ball well and should have scored more.</p>

&quot;That was what was wrong with out second half and we did not hold the ball up as well as in the first. Collectively we did not do well and we conceded far too many corners and free kicks. I felt that we came back into the game well after they had scored and Tommy Wright was unlucky not to score at the end.</p>

&quot;It is a big weekend for us and there are some big games around the country. All our games now are massive and we have to treat each one like a cup final.</p>

&quot;Swansea are a good side and Lee Trundle has proven himself to be one of the best strikers around. You do not get to be leading scorer two seasons running without talent and Lee came create something out of nothing for himself.</p>

&quot;It is an exciting time but I am a little nervous to be honest. It is exciting to be where we are; exciting to work with an excellent group of players and exciting for the whole football club. We have to keep our heads, keep going and take each game as it comes&quot;.</p>
