Swansea boss Roberto Martinez spoke to his club's official website about the 0-0 draw against Carlisle at Brunton Park last night, Martinez seemingly disappointed with what he thought was an overly physical approach from the United players :


"We deserved more than a point. There's no question of how this squad will perform and it was pleasure to watch them playing their football and stamping their authority on a very difficult ground. Carlisle tried to create an intimidating atmosphere and the amount of bad challenges we had to suffer was disappointing.

"But we'll take it as a compliment when a team that is chasing you to top spot, feel they need to be that physical. I think what happened against Bournemouth on Saturday was a very difficult blow for the players to take and they deserve all the credit to come and perform like they did after that.

"But don't take them (Swansea players celebrating) seriously. They know there is still a lot of work to do and they won't be getting carried away. John Ward is right. The Championship is a very difficult league to get into and there is a huge amount to do in the next four games.
It was a pleasure to watch the boys at times and, as on Saturday, they haven't got the rewards they deserved."
