Last updated : 20 August 2009 By Angus Muller
For Swansea it was a first point last night wqhile Reading are still waiting for a league goal.

"It was a determined and resilient performance but we were on the back foot for most of the second half," said Reading boss Brendan Rodgers.

"It was a clean sheet which is our second from three games but we have a problem up front as we still haven't scored a goal.

"Our first few matches have been good learning curves for our young players and we will improve but Swansea are an excellent side playing good football and I must pay tribute to them.

"On our part we showed great determination but we do need something more up front."

Swansea boss Sousa thought his was the better side.

"There was only one team playing the football and even with all our problems we did everything to win the match.

"We made chances especially in the second half and if we keep believing in ourselves, we will soon win matches.

"Our defence soon settled down and we never gave them any chances but we need to keep the same resolve for our next matches and I know all the players are confident.
