Action and reaction as City lose at Hillsborough

Last updated : 15 April 2017 By Michael Morris

“I thought we controlled large parts,” said Neil Warnock.

“I thought they had one shot in the first half and then the goal in the second half. I’m disappointed with the goal because you have got to have the desire to keep your goal in tact, you’ve got to get hurt. And if one of my players had got hurt we would have come away with a draw. I can’t stand that really, with all the effort we put in, one player can’t put his head on the line, there’s something wrong there.” (see picture, Warnock questioning Jazz Richards' desire to get to the ball ahead of the Wednesday striker)

“I can’t remember a threat, if I’m honest. We are talking about a team sixth in the league, spending 10, 12 million whatever they spent in January and last summer and we haven’t spent a penny so that gives us a lot of confidence really.”

“I thought it was a very even game really. A mid-table battle.”

Wednesday boss Carlos Carvalhal said

"We played against a team with a coach that I know very well and he knows everything about the competition. A very difficult team to play against because they prepare corners, the throws, the free-kicks.

"The game was broken, too much broken. But we knew this before the game, that we will play against a team with this kind of style. They play more physical and I think we prepared very well.

"We score one goal, we win, we achieve a victory which is very important. I just want to say we did a fantastic performance against Newcastle, winning, and we did a fantastic victory against Cardiff, winning again.

"I think in the second half people were a little nervous, one period or another, but our fans were amazing again. Everybody understood that we must be patient in this moment and we achieve a goal and this is the most important. So everybody is happy, we are happy."
