"I'm disappointed that we have'nt won that game, but over Christmas we've took 4 points over Leicester and West Ham, and they should be fighting for a top six position, but yeah, I'm disappointed with we didnt win but I've nothing but praise for my players."

"First half we were great, second half we got a bit nervous and defended a bit deep, but how he could not give a penalty against Junior when he landed on the penalty spot I do not know - when you look at the big decisions in this game, he got them all wrong.


"The ref gave them two penaltys went against us, the first one looked offside and the second is dubious as Sheringham put his hand to it before it happened"

"Only one man cost us the game, there is no doubt about that."

"We'll have to keep fighting, but today I can only praise the lads. We have a big game coming up with Coventry down here on New Years Day, But the with that attitude, commitment and endeavor, will hopefully carry us forward."

"It could have been 4-2 at half time, our keepers made some great saves, and we've missed some great chances, starting with Junior, wether he was given a push I dont know but you've seen them given. The referee has played a big part in the result today."

"At half time I just told the lads that we've been here before and lost it, that was a big thing we tried to drill into them. Let's be nice and tight and make it difficult for them, but we gave the ball a away a bit more in the second half.

But we are playing West Ham and they are full of quality and pace. For us to be even playing on the same pitch as them is an acheivement, so for the lads to be 2-0 us is remarkable. It's just a shame they could'nt hold on."


"The lads gave their all, and if we get beat each week and dont hold onto a lead because they've got better quality than us, then I have to live with that and our supporters have to live with that."

"But the point helps us and moves us in the right direction and it's been a good Christmas for us with four points from games against Leicester and West Ham."
