The Swansea City manager was speaking after his side threw away a one goal lead to lose at Burnley and told the official website "It was a game where again we had good control,<\/p>\n
"We could have been 3-0 up at half-time, but we didn't take our chances. <\/p>\n
"We scored a great goal through Fabio Borini who I thought was fantastic again. But we seem to have got into the habit of leaving teams off the hook, like we did against Hull in midweek.<\/p>\n
"The first goal we conceded was off Ash's head and the second was never a penalty, although I was disappointed with our positioning. We've gone from taking control to losing the game 2-1 and that's very hard to take.<\/p>\n
"We shot ourselves in the foot and not to get something out of the game is very disappointing.<\/p>\n
"It makes it very difficult.<\/p>\n
"It's still possible, but each game you don't win at this stage can kill off your chances.<\/p>\n
"My first job was always to try and consolidate our place in the Championship, so to be in there fighting for a place in the play-offs is a fantastic achievement.<\/p>\n
"If that's where we finish, then that's where we deserve to finish, and there will be nothing but praise from me for the players.<\/p>\n
"But because we've been up and around the top two for so long this season, all the focus has been on an automatic place.<\/p>\n
"If we pick up maximum points from the last four games then there's still a possibility, but our only focus at the moment is on next Saturday's game at Portsmouth where we need to show all our quality and character.<\/p>\n
"We will be motivated and ready.''<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
