Luke Williams | That was completely unacceptable

Head coach Luke Williams described aspects of Swansea City’s performance in defeat to Wycombe Wanderers as “completely unacceptable” as they exited the Carabao Cup.

Richard Kone got the only goal of the game at the Swansea.com Stadium as the home side paid for a lacklustre first-half display.

While the Swans were improved after the break, with Florian Bianchini and Matt Grimes unable to convert their clearest chances, Williams admitted his side had not deserved to advance to the third round.

“I think we were appalling in the first half, Wycombe were miles better than us,” he said.

“The second half we improved, but the opposition defended their lead brilliantly, and we did not have enough quality to make a breakthrough.

“We did not get anything because we did not deserve anything.

“There was a lack of energy and intensity in that first half, and that is appalling, I will not accept that.

“You can have games where you don’t play brilliantly well, that’s football, but we cannot have people strolling around not showing enough energy.

“Some of the errors we made under no pressure were completely unacceptable.”
