Tate was a rock as Swansea City triumphed at Coventry City on Tuesday night and he knows that results like that are hard earned.<\/p>\n
The Swans were under pressure for large periods of the game but won through late on thanks to a Stephen Dobbie strike – a strike that moved them back into 2nd place in the Championship Table.<\/p>\n
\u201cSometimes you want perfection \u2013 but perfection comes with the result and not in the performance.” Tate told the Western Mail<\/p>\n
\u201cIn fits and starts we had the performance at Coventry, but it was more of a battle and we got the result.”<\/p>\n
Swansea are widely acclaimed as the best footballing side in the division but will they have to sacrifice that title to get the results needed between now and May? \u201cYou have to, to a certain extent, but you can\u2019t go against what you are.” Tate added<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you do that you\u2019re not going to get results.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe try and stick to what we\u2019re good at and do the physical thing as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a different type of challenge at Coventry because their manager (Aidy Boothroyd) knows the league and how to get out of it.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s done it at Watford and it was a great test for the lads because they\u2019re scrapping for points.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s irrelevant to be second at this moment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re not going to be promoted because we\u2019ve won at Coventry<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve just got to push on and try to win the next game \u2013 and it\u2019s another big one against Leeds on Saturday.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
