Reading notched in each half to beat Swansea City 2-1 in the final home match of the season.

Here is every word from boss Paul Ince.

Ince on win

We made hard work of it, but that’s us. Its the way we are at this moment in time. We’re at a club that's not used to winning games consistently. I'm delighted that's three out of four we've won. We’ve got to get used to winning games and feeling comfortable when we’re in a winning position. The way they play football it’s a manager's worst nightmare. You try to get them up the park and they just don’t move. Eventually it's just fingers crossed and hope you get the result. We have to be braver and get higher. First half we played well once we got into the game and got the first goal from AC.

Ince on Yakou Meite penalty

Even if we scored the penalty I wouldn't have felt comfortable after what happened at the Liberty Stadium where we were 2-0 up and then lost 3-2. You’ve got to hit the target, you’ve got to score. AC took the last one, we’ve got a few penalty takers. Shane has taken them and Tom (Ince) can take them. Yak said he wanted to take it but if you do that, you’ve got to score.

Ince on second half

We got the second goal from Thomas who was outstanding again today. We need to start appreciating what he gives to the football club, not just as a player. His work rate for the team and he’s a quality, quality player. Once we got the second goal I was comfortable but then the focus and concentration on defending, we don’t do it and we let them back in the game. All of a sudden you could sense it and feel it and know what’s going to happen. We were defending deep and they had a free header three minutes into injury time. You can’t allow people to have free headers in the six yard.

We were panicking and you can’t do that when you’re defending, you have to be cool and calm. It put pressure on our goal and at times we rode our luck in the second-half. It was chaotic football and that’s not good for a manager of my age that’s for sure. We have to learn from those mistakes because you won’t always ride the luck. Luckily for us we managed to hold on. It was a good game of football and very exciting and now I know why Sky keeps picking us every week.

Ince on celebrations

It means a lot to the players but that’s half the problem. Every win is so precious and is like a cup final. It's great to win in front of our fans but we have to think about moving onto the next game. It's a great win, three points and now lets see what we can do at Norwich. We’re trying to grow a culture and that will take time. It’s a massive win for us but we’ve got to be calm about it and move onto the next game.

Ince on Tom McIntyre

He is a clever player. He played there last season against Sheffield United and won. He understands the role and what you ask of him. He’s been out for six weeks, and he’s had two tough games so he’s not 100 per cent. He gives his all and he’s one we’re lucky to have because he can play in lots of different positions. He can play left centre-back, left wing-back, left side of midfield. I was going to play Baba, but I thought he looked tired. He’s had a World Cup; Junior’s had a World Cup. Most of my players have had two weeks off. They haven’t, so we have to be careful. Junior doesn’t fail to surprise me, someone of his age with his numbers. He gives you coolness and calmness, he never panics. I love him. We just have to move forward. It was important to get the win today.

Ince on managerial changes

It's madness, and I don’t know what the answer is. I thought they should have a window for managers. When you sign a manager, especially if he’s coming from north to south, he’s bringing his wife and kids down. If a player signs a four-year contract, he will decide if he comes or goes, as a manager he doesn’t get the obligation. I think when you sit down in June or July and think you have the right man, and come September, you sack him, I don’t think that’s right. Let it go until January, when the players window is open, and then make a decision. At least I know if I can here and poor come January, I would have had five months at it. I deserve to lose my job. I’ve been here 10 months and I’m the seventh longest-serving manager. It’s not right. It’s got to be about a project. Yes, we all want to win and go up, but we don’t get that protection.

Ince injury update

The other day was the first time we trained with a full squad since June. It’s not to say they’re ready to play, the likes of Liam Moore and Sam Hutchinson, they will be a bit away from it. Ty [Tyrese Fornah] got a knock on his knee so he could be two or three weeks out, he did that yesterday. Aesthetically you look at the side now and it gives you a bit more of a buzz. It gives me a selection problem, and that’s what you want as a manager. Onwards and upwards. I’m very pleased, a great result, but we have to keep going.
