Matt Duke tasted Capital One Cup final heartache with Bradford City on Sunday, but is already eyeing a return to Wembley.

Common sense

On his dismissal, which Bradford boss Phil Parkinson felt was harsh given the occasion and scoreline at the time, Duke added: "I've just come to get a block on the ball and as he's gone by me I've brought him down. "It's a penalty clearly, but he'd knocked it wide for a goalkick and it wasn't my second (offence). "So it was a bit harsh, but one of those things. Referees can't show common sense now, they've got to stick to the letter of the law. "If he thinks I'm last man then so be it. It's very disappointing, but it can't take away from what has been a fantastic achievement by this side. "Credit to the lads for what they've done in the previous rounds and credit to Swansea as well for their performance today, it just shows what a great side they are. "But it's down to our league form now for us and we've got to get back on track with that."
