bit clean few form home league picked quite turn
It was a bit of a nervy scrap, but our home form in the league has picked up. We've had quite a few clean sheets. That's the only way you can turn it round.
achievement great happen home knows next night win
It was a great night for us and a great achievement. Who knows what will happen in the next round. It was a night for the fans, but I would swap it for a home win in the league.

It looks as if we are turning it round after that dreadful run, although we're not out of the woods yet.

It's a big blow for us but a bigger blow for him. I just hope it isn't that serious.

They did great for their club, ... and I hope now they can go on to better things in the league.

There is a long way to go but the players are confident and are passing the ball around and that was a big game for us today.

I don't think it's that difficult to administer. I'm sure a sensible solution can be found.

The club continued to make significant player decisions without involving me. In the end, such a breach of trust and confidence meant that I had no option but to leave.

I'm sure if the punishment fits the crime, or is more severe, you're going to start stamping out a lot of things that are going on in football.
cost good switched tonight tough
We were tough tonight though, I don't want to make out we weren't. We battled and scrapped, but we also switched off, and that undid all the good work, and cost us two points, and that's why I'm frustrated.
bottom teams
We have said to all the teams down the bottom we have done our hardest.

We've allowed him to go out on loan because he needs to play some first-team football,
forward great work
We're better than we showed today. A lot of that's down to Chelsea. Not only are they great going forward but they work so hard.
future happens offered timing wait
Timing is everything, and we will have to wait and see what happens in the future. You look at it, but you have got to be offered it.
