We paid for our mistake says Martin on Preston defeat

Brad Potts took advantage of a defensive mistake by the Swans to earn the home side all three points as Preston ran out 1-0 winners at Deepdale.

Although disappointed with the sloppiness of the first half display by a few of his players, Martin felt his team’s performance in the second half deserved a point, but admitted to being “really disappointed with the result”.

It was perhaps somewhat ironic that former Swansea City goalkeeper Freddie Woodman denied the Swans with several fine saves during the latter stages of the game.

To round off a frustrating night for the Swans, captain Matt Grimes picked up a yellow card – meaning he will miss the visit of Wigan Athletic to the Swansea.com stadium on the weekend.
