“I believe we had a spirited and committed performance. Sometimes you want to give credit to the players even when you lose a game and I think today is one of them,” said the Frenchman.

“We had a difficult week. We had three away games on three very difficult pitches. At the end we go home tonight with many injuries and out of the cup.

“We had to chase the game with already not fresh legs, the schedule was just too difficult for us.

“It is always easier to defend than to attack. If you look at the amount of possession we had today it would certainly be massive. I felt that we were a bit unlucky today.”

We made them look shite. They were very lucky to beat us last Saturday, today, we made it look easy.

wouldn't be shocked if he was sacked the way he is going

Shows you how much homework he has done on us.Fuck all. Week in week out now under MON, we sit back and defend and soak up the pressure then break fast for an attack!
We never let them rest on the ball tonight, constantly at them to give them no time to think and to pass the ball about.
Yes he is right about being unlucky, unlucky that we didnt score more than 2
