Attacking midfielder Swift has been in the goals this term and the top scorer made it five for the season with the winner in Tuesday’s 1-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday.

The former Reading star, 28, is just two goals shy of the return from his debut campaign and Corberan reckons his attacker can be crucial if ‘mentally ready’.

“When one player with his quality is ready mentally to compete – he can be the difference,” Corberan said.

“If one player with his ability is only just focused to play well, it is more difficult to make the difference.
