The Whites were held to a 2-2 draw at home to Swansea City that felt like a defeat because of the timing of the goals.
As the game ticked into its final minutes, Meslier was both hero and villain, his penalty save from Josh Tymon only delaying Swansea’s equaliser before he dropped a corner to Harry Darling.Willy Gnonto looked to have won it within a minute of coming on as a substitute – Brenden Aaronson’s goal came in the game’s first minute – only for another Meslier error in stoppage time.Farke told his players to clear their minds before getting back to work on Tuesday. He wanted to clear his too, unwilling to make a call on Meslier’s place in the team in the immediate aftermath.I told them for 48 hours you clear your mind, don’t think about football,” he said. “They (the players representing their countries in the last fortnight) have spent so much time away right now. Some of them came straight from the flight to the training ground and it was difficult for them.
“Clear your heads, be ready, and we go again for the last seven games. We are in a pretty good position and we have a lot to play for and hopefully to cheer about.”
