The Swansea City vice captain was red-carded in the brawl at the Liberty Stadium last season – a brawl that happened after Havant defender Brett Poate hacked down Andrea Orlandi with the Swans a goal to the good.<\/p>\n
A late leveller from Baptiste took the Swans to a replay and the rest – as they say – is history as the Swans crashed out in one of last season’s cup shocks.<\/p>\n
And as Tate prepares with his team-mates to travel to the Conference side – already victorious over Swindon and Leeds this season – he says that he has learned to calm down since being shown the red card in that first game at the Liberty.<\/p>\n
Speaking to News of the World, Tate said “I’ve learned from whatr happened against Havant last season and it won’t happen again.<\/p>\n
“It will be a physical battle and we’ve got to keep our heads.<\/p>\n
“I won’t let anything the Histon players do get under my skin.\u00a0\u00a0 Looking back at the Havant game, I thought the tackle on Andrea was a horrible one.\u00a0 That’s why I reacted the way I did.\u00a0 But I shouldn’t have done it.<\/p>\n
“I shouldn’t have raised my arm and trued to grab the player’s head.<\/p>\n
“If something like that happens again I will stay away from it.\u00a0 I know what to expect from Histon – But I’ll keep my cool.<\/p>\n
“After the Havant game there were a couple of occasions where I could have got involved in something but I stayed away which shows I have learned my lesson.<\/p>\n
“I can’t lose the fiery streak in my game now and I’m sure the gaffer doesn’t want me to lose it either.<\/p>\n
“But at the same time I can’t afford to get red cards because it means a three game suspension.\u00a0 I was banned for the replay and I was gutted to miss that game.\u00a0 I went back home to Sunderland for the weekend because I wasn’t involved.<\/p>\n
“I listened to it on the radio driving back to Swansea and it wasn’t nice to hear us lose, especially as the winners played Liverpool.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
