Sinclair’s penalty earned a point for Swansea City against Barnsley and he insisted – despite Mark Robins claims to the otherwise – that it was the correct decision after the foul was on him.<\/p>\n
Sinclair told the Evening Post “I was trying to get the ball and I felt contact. I’ve not dived<\/p>\n
“You go in for the ball thinking you are trying to get a shot off and score, but if the keeper comes out and gets you then you’re going down.<\/p>\n
“The Barnsley players weren’t happy, but it’s part of the game \u2014 people go home and talk about speculation in the game, but I’m not bothered what people say.<\/p>\n
“I know the correct decision was made.<\/p>\n
“Every time I take a penalty I get more confident. I pick a spot and stick to it,” he said.<\/p>\n
“There were a few guys who stayed after training to take penalties at Chelsea \u2014 like\u00a0Frank Lampard\u00a0\u2014 and I used to get involved.<\/p>\n
“But there’s a big difference in taking penalties in training and in games.<\/p>\n
“As I step up to the spot I feel confident to take it and that’s very important.<\/p>\n
“The main thing is consistency throughout the season,” he said. “We didn’t get the win at Barnsley but we got a point and if we can keep grinding out results then we should be up there.<\/p>\n
“One point is better than none. We didn’t start with our usual game as we found it difficult to pass it on that pitch.<\/p>\n
“But these are the type of games where we have to show our character and try to grind teams down to get a result.<\/p>\n
“I don’t think we can be unhappy with what we got.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
