Steve Cooper after match comments, pretty much sums it up -

“The first two goals were everything that I don't want the team to be and the players will know that. The first goal it's a free cross and no-one's marking in the box and a soft finish.
The second goal is a first contact off a corner which we do a lot of work on as well. If you don't do the basics of defending well enough, you run the risk of conceding soft goals.
We got into enough good positions with the ball but didn't back ourselves enough to really be the threat we should be, and in the end we have turned over another ball and given away a soft third goal.
Morgan came on and tested the keeper a couple of times but in the end we have defended poorly on the goals and not done enough in their box to threaten, so you get what you deserve."

Swans tour of Britain.
Three consecutive away matches in a week is ridiculous, not making excuses for last night’s performance but look at this:
Swansea - Blackburn 480 miles round trip
Swansea - Luton 404 miles round trip
Swansea - Bournemouth 398 miles round trip
Total of 1,282 miles on a bus, plus having to travel up the day before each match and overnight in hotels.
 
Re-scheduled postponed match from 13 Feb:
Sheff Wed v Swans, Tues 13 Apr 6pm, sandwiched between Millwall away and Wycombe at home
