OWLS ROHL OVER FOR THE SWANS

-

DANNY ROHL admitted his Sheffield Wednesday side were not ruthless enough at both ends of the pitch.

A second-half Swansea goal from Jamal Lowe (above, centre, celebratin­g) cancelled out Bailey Cadamarter­i’s 41st-minute opener and the Owls missed several golden opportunit­ies to bag all three points.

The draw sees them remain in the relegation zone and manager Rohl said: “We conceded, for me, what was a goal too easily given away from the corner.

“There was a handball for Swansea’s equaliser and it was a clear foul on Ike Ugbo so we should have had a penalty.

“This is disappoint­ing – but we will not use it as an excuse.

“We weren’t ruthless enough in both boxes.”

Swans manager Luke Williams knows his players have enough quality to stay in the Championsh­ip – but he says that they must start to show more consistenc­y.

Williams said: “In the first half I thought we controlled the game quite well.

“Our intensity was excellent.

“We created anxiety for Wednesday and their fans but we didn’t really make enough clean actions to score a goal.

“It’s frustratin­g to concede from a set-piece.

“I don’t like to talk about referees but Ronald was wrongly called offside in a promising position for us which led to the free-kick for their goal.

“The second half was like a basketball game.

“We wanted to try and win – we didn’t want to just settle for a point so it was end to end.

“In the last 20 minutes they caused us many problems which got the crowd up and we struggled to cope.

“I’d have preferred three – but I’m happy with a point.”
