‘WE LACKED QUALITY AND MENTAL TOUGHNESS’

READING FC manager Paul Ince believes that ‘lack of concentration’ cost the Royals defeat after they conceded in stoppage time at Preston.

The Royals remain in the Championship relegation zone, a point from safety with five games to go.

“Lack of concentration and it’s not the first time it’s happened,” said Ince when questioned why his team conceded late in the game.

“When you get back in the game as we did, you’ve got to learn to see out games.

“We don’t win the first header. We don’t win the second header.

“It’s great that Kelvin (Ehibhatiomhan) got his equaliser and you’ve got to learn to hold on, but we lacked quality and mental toughness to do that.

“We haven’t got the character to see out games. We make silly mistakes and decision. They’re costing us time and time again.
