Russell Martin admits he has mixed feelings after Swansea City's dramatic win over Peterborough United due to his side's woeful spell in the second-half.
The Swans were dominant in the first-half in Cambridgeshire and led through Michael Obafemi's 44th minute effort.
They imploded defensively early on in the second 45 and trailed 2-1 after Sammie Szmodics and substitute Jack Marriott both struck.
However, a second goal from Obafemi along with Joel Piroe's injury-time winner ensured the visitors left the Weston Homes Stadium with all three points.
And while Martin praised the endeavour of his players, he could not escape his concerns over the Swans' wobble in the early stages of the second-half.
“I don’t know what I feel at the minute. I feel a bit angry. My overriding emotion – as it’s been all season – is I’m proud of the players. I’m proud of what we’re trying to do. It’s not easy. I’m proud they won the game. Not in the way I’d really like to do it but we’ve found a way to win," he said.
"I'm still trying to digest the first 15 minutes of the second-half which I'm really disappointed with. I can't believe the game turned into that.
"The players showed real courage to get control back. We deserved to win, we should be out of sight at half-time.
"It's taken a brilliant finish from a guy we know can finish at the end.
"They had to change something, and we were nowhere near. That's why we are where we are in the league. On our day we are capable of producing some incredible moments and some brilliant football, but the gap between when we're really good and when we're not is too big. You saw that in one game today. All of a sudden, the guys turn it back on because they have to.
"If they didn't have so much courage and belief in what they're doing, we don't come back in that game. That period was strange, but the fact they have come back shows they're willing to stick together and believe in what we're doing. We deserved to win though, let's get it right."

Obafemi now has six goals in his last nine appearances while Piroe took his tally to 17 for the campaign.
Victory came after what was a dominant opening half in which Swansea had 78% of possession and had nine shots, with Grant McCann's side failing to register an effort on goal.
Nevertheless, Swansea's late show ensured they won for the sixth time on the road this season ahead of Saturday's home clash with Birmingham City.
And Martin lavished praise on his strikers after they delivered the goods against the Posh.
"I think they're working really well together, they're building a relationship," added the head coach.
"He's [Piroe] growing all the time. When a chance like that falls, if you want one person to have the chance, it's him.
"He's got such composure and a ruthless mentality in front of goal for a young man. I am really pleased. I'm just still trying to digest that 15-minute spell at the start of the second-half."
