“It’s been as bad as it’s been for a good few years. Even the stoke game when we lost 4-0 last year, it was worse than that.
“Sometimes the game gets away from you early in the game. Today was that. We conceded after a minute with a really poor goal, and we have to defend that better.
We can concede goals form corner, you don’t always get it your own way, but they set their stall out from the first minute and we didn’t cope with that.
We’ve been old-maned, they have an experience line up and they have run harder than us and fought harder than us and they have done the dirty side better than anyone who has been here and they deserved to win there’s no doubt about it, it’s just the manner of the defeat.”
“There was no pride in that, it didn’t even look like a performance it looked like a group of individuals who looked scared stiff and let them get on top of us.
There were some poor individual performances and decisions, and we have to look at that and its even difficult to pick the bones out of it because it was so poor.
We can’t feel sorry for ourselves, we have to be ready to go again Monday.
we have to take this on the chin and take all the criticism we’re going to get and stick out chest out and put in a performance Monday.”
