Swindon Town

MARK Cooper spoke to the media after Town's 4-1 defeat at the hands of West Bromwich Albion.

On the result...
It’s a little bit harsh. For the first 15 mins we were a bit sloppy then I changed the shape and it gave us a bit more of a foothold. At the start of the second half, we went back to a four (at the back) and totally dominated for 25 mins. At 2-1 with 10 minutes to go, we're probably the better team but that happens. They had a really strong team out - I was chatting to a couple of their players that I know and they were impressed with our side which is good for us.

On the opposition's clinical finishing...
That’s why they earn 40/50 grand a week - that’s just a fact of life. We just concentrate on ourselves. I thought at times, again, we played well.

On the changes in shape...
It's important to have that flexibility. Sometimes it suits us to play with three and sometimes it suits us to play with four. There’s plenty for us to work on and look at.
