Alan Sheehan : We keep shooting ourselves in the foot
Thursday, 6th Nov 2025 08:00 by Swansea Independent

Swans head coach, Alan Sheehan was again annoyed at his sides lack of clinical edge as Swansea City slipped to another away defeat at Deepdale the home of Preston North End last night.

Concerned about taking only one point from six in their two away games this week, he believes he will find solutions to the current Swans dilemma of controlling games but not winning them.

“Yeah, okay, it's very disappointing, it has a lot of similarities that game to Charlton, you know, on another day. We started off the game not well and then obviously they score a worldy, we have to react, and then we have reacted. We started the second half again and a long ball, we let it bounce and they scored its two-nil. We then have an uphill battle, you can't do that really here, you can't do, you can't do that anywhere in the Championship. Shooting yourselves in the foot, then in terms of creating enough chances, so I think we haven't finished the team off. Look there's a difference between doing enough and winning the game, and that's the disappointing thing. We have had a number of fans travel here again to see us and we want to send them away with a win. I won’t hide behind that, that's, that's two games now in a row where that could have been six points in the Championship. If we killed them off, but it's such fine margins if you want to say, and again, I keep saying that. Thats how I'm seeing it, and just looking for that more clinical edge, because if you win that game tonight, which I believe on another night, we would have won”

Then there’s the highlights.

We hope you have enjoyed our coverage of the game pre and post match. Yes, the Swans lost but are you seeing a promising turnaround, and maybe some daylight at the end of this very long Swansea City tunnel ?
