Monk’s Disappointment |
|
Captain Garry Monk could not hide his disappointment after the Swans crashed to a home defeat against Doncaster on Saturday – a game that they were expected to win. The Swans produced by far their worst performance of the campaign and were deservedly beaten by a well organised but unspectacular Doncaster side. Speaking after the match, Monk said “We aren’t happy at all, especially losing at home, and that’s not what we want to do “We want to win as many games as possible and obviously we are disappointed. “You’re not always going to play perfect football like we have done so far, you are going to get games like this, both home and away. “We have to show character and this wasn’t good enough. “Our preparations and intentions to play at our best were the same, but that’s football “You get games when you aren’t on top of your game and maybe one or two of us were below par. “But that’s when you pull together and try to get a result. Unfortunately, we couldn’t do that.” Monk though refused to blame Ferrie Bodde for the incident which saw the Dutchman red carded but accepted it was a big moment in the game “I think it was the turning point, but even then we should be trying to grind it out,” he said. “If you look at Reading the other night, it shows you can do it. We were disappointed to be 1-0 up and lose 2-1. “I didn’t see the sending-off, but seeing Ferrie in the changing room, he is bitterly disappointed with himself. “He just said, ‘Sorry.’ He held his hands up. If he has done something then it’s unacceptable.” And on the referee? “I think he will sleep well tonight because he had his nightmare today!” he joked. “I can’t say too much about it, but let’s just say he had an off-day. But it’s irrelevant whether he has a good or bad day, it’s up to us as players to put it to one side and do ourselves justice. We didn’t do that.” What are your thoughts?
