Luke 'frustrated' as Morgan strikes

SWANSEA CITY 0

PLYMOUTH ARG 1

Ex-Swan Morgan Whittaker struck the only goal of the game after 18 minutes – his ninth in his past ten games as Argyle made it six games without defeat.

Back-to-back Championship defeats and a fourth loss in a row in all competitions leaves Swansea head coach Williams still searching for his first league win since he took charge.

Williams said: “I am frustrated that we didn’t turn really good actions into goals. When you create 19 chances and at least four of them are in the six-yard box, there’s not an excuse.

“What is it that’s wrong with those chances? For me, nothing. It’s just concentration, finish the action correctly and we’ll win.

“The goal we conceded, we lose concentration again from a long ball forward. Whittaker hits the shot that leads to the corner. Then, from the corner we switch off, the player gets blocked and it’s a good strike.

“I don’t like that (relegation situation), of course I don’t like that. We need to concentrate on trying to play really well. If we can create 19 chances every week, we’d have to be a unlucky team to suffer more.”
