Andy Ritchie's Post Match Reaction

Last updated : 30 August 2005 By BarnsleyBoy

Speaking to the Official Site Boss Andy Ritchie was disappointed as the Reds made it 3 defeats out of 3 on the road:

" I thought we did not compete at all in the second half and we did not get into our game. We dominated the game before the break but were outbattled in the second half.

I am very disappointed with the officials in the second half. It was never a free kick to start with and Trundle went to ground far too easily. For the second goal there was a foul on Neil Austin and when the shot went in a Swansea player was in an offside position but that really summed up the officials to be fair.

We had a lot of good chances in the first half and I lost count of the number of times we had the ball in the box from good crosses. After the break we changed our way of playing for some reason and did not get the ball into the box at all.

We need to be more physically strong away from home.
