With 30,000 baying Cardiff City supporters aiming jeers and chants directly his way, Russell Martin will continue to exude calm and confidence as he once again completes his pre-match tradition in the cauldron atmosphere of a South Wales derby.
In each and every single away game of his tenure to date, the head coach has walked from the dugout area towards the section of the stadium containing the Jack Army to applaud those who have travelled to show their support for the Swans.
It's a ritual that, regardless of the club's form or results, has always been appreciated by the Swansea faithful while it is one that Martin himself feels it quite simply the bare minimum he can do to show his gratitude to those who so willingly part with their hard-earned cash to watch their beloved stars on the road.
