O'Driscoll On The Shared Point
Sean O'Driscoll was not begrudging of Swansea's point at the Keepmoat on Saturday
Despite the natural disappointment of the stoppage time equaliser, O'Driscoll was complimentary again of the Swans and their passing style.
"It was a point shared and I don't think you could begrudge Swansea; they're a good team and they had possession of the football," he told the official Donny website.
"If you had said to me before the game that we would restrict them to the amount of chances that they had, I would have taken it. Ironically, they have scored from a typical Championship play with a route one pass."
"I thought that our game plan worked, we stuck to it and we were dangerous when we had possession. Maybe we could have finished them off in the second half; Copps has gone through and was one-on-one with their 'keeper - but credit to the goalkeeper, he's stated in the paper that he's not had a lot to do this season, but today he's pulled off a couple of great saves to keep them in the game."
"This is a difficult division and every point is precious for teams like us. I would rather focus on the positive things than bemoan the fact that we didn't get the three points."

Gwyn’s Eye View : Swansea City v MillwallGlyn is back with his favourite stats as we build up to the last game of the season. That comes in the form of Millwall who it seems are close to selling their requested 1,148 allocation, so its down to the Jack Army to do their bit this bank holiday weekend.
The fate today’s Swansea footballers would never have to endure Swansea City bring this season to a close on Saturday with a home game against Millwall. However, what about those bygone days when footballers had no choice but to go down the pit after their career ended, or open a toy shop, pub or retrain ? That thought would petrify todays modern footballer.
Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and
wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.
Swansea reject Cullen contract and trigger one year option Liam Cullen has had his request for a new contract dismissed by Swansea City after discussions broke down last week.
