Steve Cooper was clearly not in agreement with the penalty decision that cost his side a win at Bristol City this afternoon.<\/p>\n
Connor Roberts was adjudged to have committed a foul whilst on the floor to give Nakhi Wells the chance to score the equaliser when it was starting to look like Jamal Lowe’s second half goal was going to be enough to secure all three points and lift the Swans to second in the table.<\/p>\n
When a decision like that is made, it\u2019s hard to keep your mouth shut on it, to be honest.<\/em><\/p>\n
That decision, there is nothing you can do to make it better. There\u2019s nothing you can coach or say or do in preparation to make that better.<\/em><\/p>\n
It\u2019s so hard to get points in this league, so to get a decision like what when we were so comfortable in the game. It\u2019s a difficult one to take, to be honest.<\/em><\/p>\n
It doesn\u2019t feel like a good point, we feel a bit hard done by, but we have to take the positives from the game. – Steve Cooper<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Opposite number Dean Holden though was of the opinion that his side deserved the point but was in agreement on the penalty which is a refreshing view to hear from a manager who has benefitted from the decision.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve watched it [the penalty] back and if I\u2019m being honest, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a penalty. I think the boy has fallen over and caught Antoine \u2013 whether he\u2019s meant to catch him I don\u2019t know \u2013 but we should have had a stonewall penalty on Tuesday night [against Middlesbrough] and these things even themselves out.<\/em><\/p>\n
We got back into the game, four strikers up top to try and get back into it. When we lost Sess [Steven Sessegnon], rather than go like-for-like with another right-back we went with an extra striker to try and get back into the game and it was pleasing to do that. – Dean Holden<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
