Ireland Under-21<\/a> international Sheehan. \u201cWe didn\u2019t want to risk it. We don\u2019t know how serious it is. We are going to have to get a scan and see where it is.<\/p>\n\u201cZan wasn\u2019t available today, but Adam came in and scored. He was a real handful. I think he led the line well.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has a different profile to Vipi so we have to change different things with him in the team. But he got a goal, and, on another day, he could have had two or three.\u201d<\/p>\n
Idah came close to scoring prior to his goal, when he volleyed over, but his goal on the turn delighted the travelling Swansea fans.<\/p>\n
There was frustration for Sheehan, however, at the end, as he felt his side, 16th in the table, had done enough to claim the win.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m really disappointed to come away with just a point,\u201d he said. \u201cIn terms of performance, against a team who are difficult to play against, we managed to cope really well for large parts of the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey are man to man all over the pitch, so you have to wear them down. We made a few little tactical tweaks and took control. We pinned them in in the second half and had opportunities. The guys were excellent in terms of effort and application. We just missed that killer ball or killer finish, that final action.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are a lot of positives to take. We dealt with the direct play and played some good football. I was waiting for the net to ripple on a number of occasions but we just couldn\u2019t get that second goal. They are very strong at home, and this is a difficult place to come.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had Man City on Wednesday night, so it was a quick recovery. It was never going to be an easy game. Our game plan worked. We looked like the team that was going to get a second or third goal.\u201d<\/p>\n
