Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup has revealed that he has no regrets about making 10-changes in their Capital One Cup clash with Championship side Birmingham City.
After winning the competition last season, it was thought that Swansea would progress to the fourth round last night, but Laudrup decided to make 10-changes for the game and they eventually lost 3-1 at St Andrews.
Despite making wholesale changes, after the game Laudrup admitted that he wanted to win the competition.
“I want to go as far as possible in all competitions. We lost the possibility to go far in the competition.
“I have no regrets (about making 10 changes). You could say 10 changes from the last game but five of the players who played here were in the starting XI against Valencia.
“I don’t think I’m wrong if I say we could have been four up at half-time.
“And then with Birmingham’s first chance they score, and then the other two goals I think there was a little misunderstanding at the back and in the end we lost the game.”
