Darren Pratley is revelling in Swansea City's wealth of talent, insisting they are not a one-man team any more.

The midfielder put in a tireless display at Home Park and also contributed an assist to Jason Scotland's winner as he continued his good start to the campaign.

Former Fulham man Pratley believes the quality on offer at the Liberty Stadium means nobody is a certainty to start games, and added success is based on the performance levels throughout the squad rather than one man.

That man was Lee Trundle, an iconic figure at Swansea, but Pratley reckons supporters now recognise the huge contributions throughout Roberto Martinez's squad.

''Look at our squad against Plymouth - Owain Tudur Jones hasn't travelled with the squad and he is a Welsh international,'' said the Londoner.

''You also have the likes of Kristian O'Leary, Joe Allen, Shaun MacDonald and Jordi Gomez who can come into the centre of midfield. With the three we have already it bodes well for the season.

''Two years ago we were a one-man team. I think if Trundle wasn't playing then the fans would be thinking 'oh my God, Trunds isn't playing, we're going to struggle".

''This year you can take anyone out of this team and you can replace him. Nobody is irreplaceable.''

Pratley has started all three Championship games so far in a centre-midfield combination with Ferrie Bodde and Leon Britton.

The trio looked well in tune as they ran Plymouth ragged thanks to some dazzling passing and link-up play.

And Pratley has pointed to Martinez's flowing football strategy as the key to their success.

''This is a hard place to come because Plymouth are very direct in the way the play,'' he added.

''They play a lot of long balls and hope to get the knockdowns. That was the challenge we had to deal with.

''We get the ball down and play. That's what works for us with the players we have. We have a squad full of players who want to play attractive football.

''It helps my game as I really enjoy it. Myself, Leon and Ferrie have had a year together now and there is a good understanding between us.

''Training helps as it is the same as a game situation. What we do in training you see on the pitch.

''We watched West Brom win the Championship last season playing superb football - that's what we want to do.

''We believe we can play football with the best.''
