Alan Sheehan, the interim manager of Swansea City, asserts that his team would have defeated Coventry City if not for the officiating calls made on the two home goals at the CBS Arena. After Ellis Simms poked across the line to give the Sky Blues the lead in the second half after Haji Wright cancelled out Liam Walsh’s opening, the interim manager expressed his feelings of being “hard done by.” The game ended in dramatic fashion as the South Wales team equalized from a stoppage time free-kick.
The 37-year-old coach expressed disappointment at referee Thomas Kirk’s decisions to allow the Coventry goals and revealed that he has already sort of received an apology.
“They gave us everything tonight,” Sheehan added, referring to his players, from whom he had expected an answer after their 5-0 drubbing at Southampton on Boxing Day.
“I’m disappointed in ourselves for the goals we gave up. I anticipate regrets for the referee decisions; we’ve already sort of had one.The first goal is significantly offside, and I think Matt Grimes fouled his way into the second goal. Nevertheless, they persevered through to the very finish. They stuck together tonight, and for that, I’m extremely proud of them.
