"It was embarrassing and inept and I feel sorry for the fans and sorry for the club. We have to get some pride back quickly because the supporters and the club deserve that.

"We created very few chances and I can't recall any other game where we gave the ball away so easily. This is the worst night since I came to the club and I hope the players are as ashamed as I am with the performance.

"I was halfway up a hill before tonight and now after that I am back at the bottom."


Eric Black

"We defended brilliantly and coped with the loss of Peter Clarke so early on very well. Our mentality was spot on and I said to my players at half-time that we could go on and win the game.

"We showed a fantastic attitude and that was the best we have played since I came to the club. It was a great team performance and I hope the players take confidence from it for the rest of the season."
