David Cotterill is happy to continue penalty duties despite his miss at Norwich

The Swansea City player missed a great chance to give the Swans the lead at Carrow Road last week but saw his spot kick saved low to the keepere right.

And his dismay at missing was compounded as the home side scored twice in the 10 minutes after the penalty miss to secure the three points.

But he is happy to continue with penalty duties and told the Evening Post "I was very disappointed because the time it came at meant we probably would have won if I'd scored

"I was going to go the other side but I changed my mind at the last moment, which you should never do. The keeper made a fine save and then they go and score two at our end.

"I've not seen the replay because I don't want to see it.

"It plays on your mind a lot, but you have to be strong and focused on making it right in the next game.

"Top players miss them but they respond in the right way. That's what I'll be looking to do when we get our next penalty.

"I was the penalty-taker at Sheffield United and I missed one in about 15 penalties, so my record is not bad.

"I won't be shying away from taking one tomorrow if we get a penalty — I'll be stepping forward to take it.

"Things have gone pretty well so far in my view," he said.

"My wife give birth to our second child just before the season kicked off, while we've played well despite not picking up results at Hull and Norwich

"We've only got three out of nine points, but I don't think the results reflect the way we've played.

"We are not low on confidence but we know we have to start hitting the net now and taking our chances.

"I've taken on a different role in the team and I'm really enjoying it.

"A lot of players will tell you that when you're out wide it can get frustrating. But down the centre of the park you are more involved and I hope to get the wingers involved quicker too because we have pace to burn."

He added: "I'm very happy to be playing here, though, because we play great football and the lads are excellent as a group.

"The new manager has come in and given us fresh ideas and everyone is happy now.

"We are all really focused on tomorrow's game, and we are looking forward to testing ourselves against another ex-Premier League club.

"Hopefully the result will match our performance."
