The Swansea City defender was as powerless as his team mates to stop the 5-1 defeat at Bloomfield Road but has joined shouts of team mates and manager to bounce straight back starting against Ipswich on Saturday.

He told the Evening Post "I was humiliated on Tuesday

"But you can take things in positive or negative ways. I think the most important thing to remember is that if you concede one or 10 goals, you only lose three points.

"We hope and we're sure that these five goals will lift us on Saturday to go out and react and show that we are a better team. We have to learn from this and if we have 21 clean sheets this season it shows that we've been good and this has been a bad day.

"We have to forget Tuesday and get back to the good times and the football that we can play.

"Pressure is the most beautiful thing in football, and on Saturday we have to react, we have to win.

"You feel disappointed because, as a defender, you always want to keep a clean sheet, but after 39 games one bad day can happen," he said.

"We're humans and the best thing we can do is learn from this.

"We're still in a good position. Tuesday was a horrible day, but we're still in the play-offs and we have to think of that.

"We cannot think of negative things like we're not going to make it. We know that if we get a win on Saturday things are going to look very different.

"Everyone is doing everything they can and I think at the end of the season we'll get the rewards we deserve — the play-offs."
