I thought we were in and out the first half not as well as what we thought we could do but you're going to get that.
We come in at 0-0, which is always a plus

They're human beings, we all make mistakes. Unfortunately for the two lads, their errors have cost us goals.There's no finger-pointing at them.

It's always a sign of a good team, when they don't actually play well they win the game. That's really key, that's general teams that get success.

I said before the game that if we scored first, we would go on to win the game. Certain circumstances have again dictated to us that we haven't done that.
The red card was one of those decisions. I'm not going to mention it because I don't think it warrants me mentioning it.

Judging it from a neutral turning up and saying who deserved to win, I don't think you'll find someone who said that we wouldn't be at least worthy of a point
It was like when we were on the ball it was almost like a touch-touch stand and watch where we are going to play it and then play it.

Malky Mackay's agent is not a manager, and does not therefore belong on this thread. But.
football is a precarious business and Malky's decision to stay might not thereafter be matched by all the powers that be deciding that he should stay, so in some respects that's pretty much in the hands of other people.

I sarcastically clapped him because he hadn't given us a decision all day. That was obviously wrong of me but, by the same token, he decided that he wanted to be the bigger and better man and send me off to the stand.

We were excellent for 70 minutes, and we were excellent for 90 minutes last week and that won us the game, we've got to find that 20 minutes sometimes.
We've enough senior players on the pitch to make sure that it stays at 1-0. But if they got everything right, they wouldn't be here.
