We stood off them and they outplayed us. I think the way Swansea set up, we allowed them time on the ball too much, allowed them to turn and to play passes \u2013 that is down to me.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When you look at the games in which we\u2019ve played well, we\u2019re better when we get after teams, push onto people and get in their faces. And in the second half we went at them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And my lads have got a never say die attitude. They\u2019ve got this belief. Even when they were 3-1 at half-time, we still felt we could get something out of the game. Then we conceded a fourth and you think it might not me our day.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And you naturally start thinking about what the other results are around the country and you even start thinking about goal difference \u2013 but I knew if we could get that second goal, the belief would kick in.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thomas got his goal and it was an excellent goal. And you can sense it in the crowd, in the atmosphere in the stadium. You could see that little bit of apprehension from the Swansea players \u2013 they weren\u2019t too sure whether they were playing it short or going long.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Lucas missed a chance to make it 4-3, Junior missed a chance to make it 4-3\u2026and once we did get the third goal it was game on.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I knew we\u2019d get one or two more chances and as soon as that ball went in the box\u2026I\u2019m thinking, surely not! It can\u2019t be Tom Mac again! Unbelievable.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019d got off to a great start with the penalty and then two worldies and they\u2019re 2-1 up. And then they get the penalty just before half-time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But the crowd were amazing. They were right behind us from the very start. The atmosphere was electric and the fans just kept singing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reading boss Paul Ince was in disbelief that his side came back to draw with Swansea after trailing 4-1 in the second half and admitted he got his tactics wrong.
