"I thought we did ok from box to box but we could not find the net at one end and conceded too easily at the other. Conceding goals as we are is making it difficult for us at the moment and it is a bit of a horror show.

"Our new players did ok but you can not win matches with three players, however much difference that they make themselves. I have made changes and have given players opportunities and some other may get an opportunity against Nottingham Forest on Tuesday."
"I am frustrated and disappointed but I am not panicking. So much can change after October or November and as I said, I believe that within this league sixth place is still a realistic ambition."
