result turn
A result like this can turn our season.
badly determined hurts turn
I've never chucked nothing. It hurts badly but the one thing I'm determined to do is see it through and turn it around. I still think I am the right person and I will try my utmost.
against bubbling everybody felt lose months point six sure time turning
Six months is a long time to keep everybody bubbling along, making sure they do not lose their confidence. The big turning point was the humiliation we felt against Liverpool.
conditions corn near realized running seeing spring summer turn
We were near pandemonium conditions in the spring and summer when we realized that, yes, we were running out of corn at the time. (But) now, we're seeing a 180-degree turn from that.
eyes lies party vip
In his eyes, he's done nothing wrong. He had been to a concert, went for something to eat, went to a VIP party afterwards. Yet therein lies the problem. You can't put yourself in these situations.
available convinced head players realistic stay
It's so frustrating. I'm convinced we would stay up if players like those two were available but we have got to be realistic now. In my head I'm just dismissing them.
club critics-and-criticism entitled owner respect
I'm disappointed by the owner's criticism. I don't think that should be aired in public. But he is the owner of the club and you have to respect what he says. He is entitled to his opinion.
atrocious ball bit delighted few horrible night played reaction reading takes terrific time
I'm delighted for the young lads. It was a horrible night and the ball was swerving all over the place in atrocious conditions. It takes a little bit of time to settle. A few of them haven't played at this level. I thought the reaction was terrific after Reading equalized.
coming pleased team
It was never a classic, but when you're the away team coming to a place like Fulham then you're pleased to come away with something.
beyond damaged hope
It's damaged us, let's hope not beyond repair.
hoped impeccable record taken upset
We are upset Emile has got another ban. He has an impeccable record and we hoped it would have been taken into account.
dialogue
There is dialogue between the two clubs, and we will have to see what develops.
close couple irons tying
We have a couple of irons in the fire. We are close to tying up a couple of things.
days few hopefully knee past sent
Emile's knee has been aggravating him the past few days so we've sent him for a check. Hopefully it's nothing too serious.
