West Brom boss Alan Pardew: We didn't take advantage of chances

West Brom boss Alan Pardew felt his team lacked "conviction" for defeat at Swansea City.

The Baggies lost 1-0 to a goal from Wilfried Bony.

Pardew said afterwards: "It was so tight. It was really nip and tuck everywhere on the pitch.

"I thought Swansea had the better of the first half and in the second half I think we should have scored a goal as an away team. We had three or four great opportunities on the break and we didn't have the conviction to find the right moment.

"Unfortunately for us we didn't capitalise and then you're on a knife edge and unfortunately for us they scored from a set play.

"We've now got two huge games, difficult games as we know. There might be a different look to us in terms of trying to win those games. Sometimes the Premier League can surprise you and that's what we've got to try and do."
