Defeat was harsh on Swans - Rodgers

Posted on: Sat 21 Aug 2010

Brendan Rodgers felt that today's 2-0 loss at Norwich was harsh on his side.

The Swans dominated the majority of this game at Carrow Road and were handed a fine chance to take the lead late on from the penalty spot.

But after David Cotterill saw his effort pushed onto the post by Scott Ruddy the home side struck twice at the death when Ashley Williams put into his own net and Simeon Jackson converted Grant Holt's cross.

"Performance wise it was very good so it was extremely disappointing to lose the game so late on," said a dejected Rodgers.

"At the very least we deserved to take a point away from the game and I'm sure Paul Lambert would acknowledge that.

"For the first 10-15 minutes their shape gave us a few problems but after that I thought we had good control of the game. Our passing and movement was excellent, we created chances but we just couldn't take them.

"We had the chances to win the game, didn't take them, and now we have just got to take it on the chin and move on.

"I'm sure the disappointment will motivate us because they are a terrific group of lads who work hard and really want to do well."

You can watch interviews with Brendan Rodgers and Mark Gower on Swans Player later this evening.
