The Swansea City goalkeeper was furious at the last gasp equaliser that robbed the team of a victory on Saturday and dropped them out of the play off positions in the process.<\/p>\n
Lee Trundle’s own stoppage time goal had appeared to have given the Swans a hard earned three points but the late lapse meant it was not to be.<\/p>\n
And De Vries believes that it was a lack of maturity that cost them the goal.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a group it shows we still need to mature a bit more,\u201d he told the Western Mail. \u201cWhen you score an injury-time goal to take the lead in a game like this, you need to kill the game off.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe should have been more aware of the dangers. All you need to do is keep the ball in the corners and waste a bit of time.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt probably wasn\u2019t a good idea for that many players to go forwards, but that\u2019s just the nature of this team. We are attacking-minded and we all like to get on the ball.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe just need to grow up a bit, though. This will be a vital lesson in that respect and the gaffer has already told us we need to learn from it.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt feels like a loss because, when Trunds scored his second in injury time, I thought we would nick it and get all three points. But then their second goal was unbelievable.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were defending it with four guys, but my touch took it away from them. Ash then slipped at the wrong time and we were just really unlucky.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was nothing else we could do about it. The luck just wasn\u2019t with us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
