McDermott said after the game “It’s very, very disappointing. It was a game we never deserved to lose, in fact I felt we should have won it – we had opportunities to win it and we couldn’t take them,<\/p>\n
“The goal they scored was a disappointing one from our point of view – they got someone in round the back, but the ball has ricocheted straight to one of their players when it could have gone anywhere.<\/p>\n
“We were chasing the game at the end and they could have scored another one, but over the ninety minutes the clear cut chances came our way.<\/p>\n
“In football the first goal is really, really important and today Swansea managed to get it. We weren’t ruthless enough when chances came our way and that cost us.<\/p>\n
“I can’t fault the players’ effort or commitment. I think the fans appreicated their efforts, they stayed to clap them off at the end and they tried to pull us over the line.<\/p>\n
“We had opportunities at 0-0 and after they’d scored and we were denied a stonewall penalty for handball in the box, I’ve just seen the replay.<\/p>\n
“What we asked the players to do, they did. We worked Swansea hard and they are a frustrating team to play against. But we just couldn’t get that goal.<\/p>\n
“The fixture list is ridiculous. I’ve never seen anything like it. But we have to live with it – we have strong players.<\/p>\n
“To be honest, we want to get out there and play again straight away. But now we need to recover and prepare for a difficult game in two days’ time.<\/p>\n
“This is a great league – you can’t call any result in this division. But I feel if we keep performing the way we have been, we are a match for anyone.<\/p>\n
“Swansea are second in the table now and we came here and deserved a result. So we don’t fear anybody.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
