Donachie positive in defeat

Millwall caretaker boss Willie Donachie insists the players are good enough to stay in League One this season, despite Sunday's 2-0 defeat at Swansea.
The reverse at the Liberty Stadium was Donachie's first taste of defeat since taking over from Nigel Spackman and he is remaining upbeat, claiming Kenny Jackett's side were the best he has seen the Lions face this term.
He said: "It had to come at some time, it was too early as far as I'm concerned, but I knew it was going to be hard today.
"For the first goal, sometimes you get them, sometimes you don't. I believe they even themselves out but I believe it was a free kick on this occasion.
"In the second half we showed some passion and went for it, but it was too late.
"We've just got to get back to what we've been doing the last four games, keeping it simple and working for each other.
"Sometimes you've got to be brave and say they're a strong team with good players and we lost.
"They're the best team we've come up against, so we shouldn't be too upset."
