Trundle's relief after first win
Trundle opened his account for the season against Doncaster
Lee Trundle says Swansea's first win of the season will free the shackles off the players after an edgy start.
Trundle, who scored both goals against Doncaster said: "I hope this win can give us confidence, get the fans back on our side and start us off on a run.
"After our bad start, we haven't been playing off the cuff because we've been more conscious of getting things right.
"That stops you playing your normal game. But when you're winning games and scoring goals things happen for you."
Swansea's lack of confidence and ambition was evident for the majority of Saturday's match at the Liberty Stadium as they struggled to break down an unadventurous Doncaster side.
The substitutions worked well for us and we got our goals in the end

The turning point came 15 minutes from time when Swansea manager Kenny Jackett sent on Bayo Akinfenwa and Tom Williams off the bench.
They seemed to provide the impetus for Swansea to build some attacking momentum, and within minutes Trundle put the Swans ahead.
Last season's top scorer added the second in injury time after latching on to Akinfenwa's flick-on.
"It's just nice to get the three points under our belts," added Trundle.
"Doncaster came and tried to stop us playing. They played with one up front and blocked things off.
"But as the game went on, we got a few chances and the substitutions worked well for us and we got our goals in the end."
Doncaster failed to create any meaningful shots on goal, as Dennis Lawrence enjoyed a comfortable debut at centre-back.
And Trundle said: "It was a good debut for him. He looked calm, came out with the ball and defended well. He'll be a good addition for us."
