Swansea were unfortunate to go down to defeat at Wolves after a good performance that with some more luck could have seen them leave with at least a point in the bag.<\/p>\n
A goal in each half from Sylvan Ebanks-Blake gave the home side a victory that returned them to the top of the league after Birmingham’s 1-0 defeat to QPR.<\/p>\n
And McCarthy was understandably happy with the result but paid full credit to Swansea for their performance.<\/p>\n
“It might have been another case of winning ugly a bit but a win’s a win,” said the boss via the Wolves official site.<\/p>\n
“I was really worried about this game because Swansea are a very good team.<\/p>\n
“They’ve got a way of playing and do it as well as anybody I’ve seen, their players look comfortable with the ball and want to pass it.<\/p>\n
“In the first half I thought we dealt with it particularly well but in the second as the game got stretched it probably suited them a little bit.<\/p>\n
“Of the teams we’d played so far Reading were probably the best but Swansea were excellent.<\/p>\n
“Maybe they haven’t got the firepower that Reading have got but they are still a very good side.<\/p>\n
“We try and win every game,” he added.<\/p>\n
“You look maybe at some teams who’ve had seven draws and that’s seven points – win three and lose four and instead you’ve got nine.<\/p>\n
“I can’t see the point – no pun intended – in too many draws – why not try and win them?<\/p>\n
“We’ve been giving silly goals away but we’ll keep trying to win games and maybe that’s doing us a favour at the moment because we’re winning more than we’re losing.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
