We scored a good goal, a good reaction from the players. But then again, their second goal is a poor goal from our perspective.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We have to do a lot better than that. I think the players will be honest enough to say that. We have to do better.<\/p>\n<p>And then once you&#8217;re behind in the game, you&#8217;re caught between going after them and putting some pressure on, and at the same time getting played through because of the quality they have. But nevertheless, I thought we can say what we want. When you concede the goals that we did, it makes the game nigh on impossible.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>It can happen in football. Of course it can. Goals happen and we&#8217;re in a moment where the week we&#8217;ve had has been a really difficult week. There&#8217;s no getting away from that.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So psychologically, we&#8217;ve got some challenges. We have to work. We&#8217;ve got a game on Tuesday [at Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Carabao Cup], which I think is good for us.<\/p>\n<p>We need to prepare and move forward to that. We have to stick together. There&#8217;s no point in me pointing fingers and all that stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Collectively, we weren&#8217;t good enough today. We have to take that responsibility together. And we have to move forward and work harder.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>We have to dust ourselves down.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No-one&#8217;s going to feel sorry for us and they shouldn&#8217;t do. We know today wasn&#8217;t good enough. We know today we need to do better.<\/p>\n<p>And we have to make sure that we&#8217;re ready to play Wolves. It&#8217;s as simple as that. But no, we&#8217;re disappointed today, of course.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re bitterly disappointed because the fans were there. They were there with us and we&#8217;ve let them down in terms of the goals we&#8217;ve conceded and in the end, the result we&#8217;ve given.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We&#8217;re unlucky not to go 2-1 up.
