Speaking to BBC Radio Sheffield, Mick felt that his was the better theam and they did'nt deserve to lose.

"In the end I'm happy with a point, all credit to the players, they kept going and going. We went three up front and put an extra man in the middle and it seemed to work. The lads heads never dropped and they kept going."

"We didnt deserve to lose today and I thought we were the better team, so the lads got a deserved draw and I would have been dissapointed if we had lost today."

"First half we were just one pass of going in ahead a few more goals up, its a tough game and Swansea are flying high in the league. I thought we deserved to win, but we did'nt however I'm not going to harp on about it. We showed great spirit and committment and the boys kept going til the death and the lads deserved that point."

"I was dissapointed to come in with the scores level because we were the better team and we gave a sloppy goal away straight after we had scored. But we needed to get the Accrington performance out of the way, we were alright today I thought."

"We had warned the defence on thier strikers, Trundle will always go on his left foot while Afinkenwa will go on his right, So we have done bits and pieces on this during training over the last few days. Trundle's turned the centre half and scored, it was a sloppy goal and I've told him so at half time."

Meanwhile Harford gave praise to his goalscorers, "Grant showed a turn of pace and left the boy for dead, It was a great goal and he finished it well. I'm delighted for him and Barry. It was the best pass of the match today from Deon Burton. He could have panicked and try to score, but that's thie sign of a good striker who will play the ball off for his other striker to score."

"I was delighted for Andy Monkhouse, to get through 90 minutes of a tough physical game, he kept going and after 75 minutes he was flagging a bit, but he carried on and he made a great contribution today for us."

Looking at our current form, Mick still thinks we're not a bad team. "WE started the season off very well, now we're on a dodgy run but I think the signs are there that we are not far away. Obviously I'm dissapointed with the points talley and the league position, but I dont think we're far away."

Mick then gave his views on todays cup draws, Mansfield in the FA Cup and Macclesfield in the LDV round 2, both games at Millmoor.

"Mansfield will be good, it's a localish derby but it's at home and thats what we want. We know what Mansfield are about after playing them in pre-season."
