Garry Monk says that losing Joe Allen through suspension next week is a big blow for the Swans<\/p>\n
Monk watched on as Allen picked up two needless yellow cards in Saturday’s 4-2 defeat at Blackburn and he will now sit out the home game with Fulham next Saturday.<\/p>\n
Monk said after the game\u00a0“I didn’t realise Joe was on a yellow card, but maybe at that point you have to let the player go past you. He will learn from that<\/p>\n
“It’s difficult because in your mind you want to stop him. You are treading a fine line when you are on a yellow card.<\/p>\n
“He’s been brilliant for us this season and it will be a big blow to lose him for one game. He’s been one of our best players this season.”<\/p>\n
Monk also praised subs Wayne Routledge and Luke Moore who came on in the second half and he said<\/p>\n
“Wayne and Luke were excellent,” added Monk. “I said ‘well done’ to Wayne because he played very well.<\/p>\n
“We have quality in abundance. That’s why I said I am confident the results will come, I’m not just saying that.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
