Monk: They Were The Worst Yet

Monk: Huddersfield Were The Worst

Monk was denied a last minute equaliser controversially when the referee ruled his header out for pushing - a decision that was blasted by manager Roberto Martinez.

And Monk believes that the Swans now owe their fans a Liberty win after collecting just 9 points from the 21 available so far this season.

Speaking to the Evening Post, Monk said ''We shot ourselves in the foot again against Huddersfield

''I thought they were the worst side to come down here this season.

''Other teams have at least looked to try to get a goal on the break, but Huddersfield didn't look to do anything and it was a massive disappointment to come away with nothing.

''Right from the off they were just aiming for a draw, but we lost concentration for a split-second and gifted them a goal.

''They offered absolutely nothing apart from the goal and we lost the game. They didn't win it.

''It's hugely frustrating, for us as well as the fans, but we owe definitely owe them one now.'

''We're having a lot of joy on the road and long may that continue,'' he added.

''But the Liberty is our home. We want to impress there and we want to win games there because that's what's required to win promotion.

''I don't think we're playing that badly at home, but we have got to adapt to the way sides are playing against us.

''We have to dust ourselves down, keep believing in ourselves and make sure we bounce back from the Huddersfield defeat.''

And with reference to the goal that wasn't?

''The ref said I pushed him, but all I did was something we do in training every day,'' he said.

''You're going to make a bit of contact, you see it all the time, but for some reason he decided it was a foul.''

Swansea Awaydaze
Our visit to Swansea City is on Sunday with a 3pm kick-off, and once again we’re being televised live on Sky Sports, which will be handy for those of us who can’t get to South Wales on a Sunday.
Farke complains bitterly about Firpo suspension
We had a surprise yesterday morning, as we found out that that Junior Firpo had been given a three match suspension as a result of an incident in the match at Millwall. Our manager has complained about the short notice when he was preparing his team to face QPR, and about the FA’s process itself.
Leeds labour to victory over stubborn QPR
We made hard work of winning this game, but we finally put the match beyond Queens Park Rangers with a second goal deep into injury time, sending the visitors to the bottom of the table.
Farke happy with the performance despite defeat
Daniel Farke has claimed that his team were excellent last night, but many others disagree, after we failed to get past an organised defence yet again, and Millwall were able to hang on to all three points.
Millwall Awaydaze
On Wednesday night we can once again look forward to another fun-packed visit to Millwall on Sunday with kick off at 7.45. You’ll find the New Den in a really pleasant part of South-East London, but if you’re not heading this way, there is always the option of watching the game live on Sky Sports plus.
Leeds coast to comprehensive win over Plymouth
The goalscoring was confined to an eight minute period towards the end of the first half, but Leeds were so dominant throughout the entire 90 minutes that Plymouth Argyle didn’t manage a single shot on goal.
Farke feels Leeds should have come back from Ashton Gate with a win
Leeds had more of the possession and created the better chances against Bristol City, so it feels a little frustrating that we didn’t take all three points.
Bristol City Awaydaze
It will be an early start if you’re making a day trip to Bristol City on Saturday, as kick-off is at 12.30pm, thanks to our very good friends at Sky Sports. You’ll find Ashton Gate about 2 miles to the south-west of the city centre.
Leeds bring in Guilavogui as experienced backup
The club have made a move to bolster the squad by signing 34-year-old Josuha Guilavogui, who can operate in a number of defensive positions. Subject to obtaining a work permit, he will now be with us until the end of the current season.
Leeds hold on to beat spirited Watford
At the start it looked like we were cruising to an easy victory, but Watford came back at us, and at the end we were relieved to hear the final whistle
