Gareth Ainsworth looks about as far from a football manager as most of his other 91 peers but as his side face into what looks like a certain reality you cannot help but listen to his comments after games and know that he is keeping words back that would flow from the mouths of others.<\/p>\n
There can be little doubt that yesterday’s 2-2 draw at the Liberty would have frustrated him given the fact that, until we were gifted a penalty by Wycombe, they were the better side and spent most of the first 80 minutes probably wondering how the Swans were 3rd place in a table, 21 points ahead of them.<\/p>\n
The two goals they scored at the start of the second half had given them what looked like a valuable away win as they went in search of the points that they hoped could see them pull off a miracle and stay up but it was not to be.<\/p>\n
But speaking to the press after the game, Ainsworth was full of praise for his side despite only coming away with a point and was looking at the positives ahead even if they look destined to be in League One next season.<\/p>\n
Ainsworth said: \u201cThe frustration you have goes when you have the pride of a club like Wycombe Wanderers.<\/p>\n
\u201cDoing what we have done today, I thought we were fantastic.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought we played some great football, probably scored the better goals but unfortunately, we didn\u2019t get a penalty like they did.<\/p>\n
“For\u00a0them, it was a penalty as Jason McCarthy slipped [and handballed it]\u00a0and that gave them the foot in the door to get back in the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am amazingly proud of my boys because to come to a place like the Liberty Stadium and do what we have done to a team like Swansea I think is fantastic.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
