Planet Swans ArchivesThe Boro boss saw Scott Sinclair’s late shot take a deflection to give the Swans the victory and that led for a disappointed dressing room after the game.
“It’s hugely disappointing, the dressing room is very disappointed,” said Mowbray. “I have to take the positives out of it, we showed a terrific spirit against a team who have been together for three or four years now.
“You have to be committed, disciplined and organised against them and we showed all those qualities. I felt for the team, it was the nature of the goal, it took a huge delection to go past Steeley.”
Mowbray is an admirer of City’s slick passing style and the 301 travelling Boro fans saw a glimpse of how the new Boro manager wants his team to play, although such a change of culture won’t happen overnight.
“I would like to come back here one day and show how good we can be when we’ve got the ball as well,” said Mowbray.
“It’s always a balance between rest and trying to work on what we believe in. I’m not here to flog them early on and the philosophy I’m going to lay down will take a few months.
“But hopefully Boro fans will see a team who play the ball around similar to Swansea as the months go on.
“Hopefully, with a lot of hard work in the coming months, we can start to develop that.”
