READING FC manager believes 20-year-old defender Amadou Mbengue will get ‘better and better’ after he netted the winner against Coventry City.

The Royals collected three points thanks to Mbengue’s 57th minute goal on their return to Championship action.

The young defender is currently under contract until January.

“It’s great for him, he’s only a 20 year old kid,” said Ince.

“At times he’s a little bit raw as is the case with youth, but he’s infectious. He wants to do well, he’s a trier and has plenty of pace.

“For him to get the winner he will be buzzing today. The lads love him, he’s always got a smile on his face he will get better and better.”

The Royals boss was also full of praise for Shane Long for his substitute appearance which helped Reading get over the line.

He continued: “There is a realisation where we’ve been with the bench. Shane Long when he came on was absolutely fantastic.

“I said to the players at the end if there is ever an example of someone who has played in the Premier League and wants to make an impact and wants to start every week, it’s there.

“The impact he made was unbelievable. I’m pleased with the performance, it’s a great result and we move forward now.

“We started the game sharp with a fast start.

“The second half we started slow for some reason, I’m not sure why. We were slow out of the blocks and sometimes you get punished.

“It always looked like a one goal game. The game plan was spot on.

“We dealt with them most of the game and got a bit fortuitous when they hit the post, but it was always going to be a goal either way.”

Reading now look ahead to a Friday night game away at Birmingham City.

“We might be able to get Hutch back and gives us time to get on the training ground.

“The stuff we worked on in Tenerife, they’re starting to get it and know what they’re doing.”
