Obviously characters a big issue when a lot of things are not going your way in preseason.The Tigers displayed plenty of character as Adama Diomande opened the scoring during extra time of the first half.

We defended very well all game and our wingers caused a lot of problems for them.Everyone can be proud of their performance.Swansea could get more of a boost if talented Welsh defender Neil Taylor is ready to return.
