"I am very disappointed with how we turned out and performed because it wasn't us. It just wasn't there. People underperformed and we were just not at the races. Preparation this week has been very good. The tempo in training has been very good. We were as prepared as we have always been.
"I don't know if emotionally it took a toll on certain players. When so many underperform you are never going to win a game. It's a big thing that has happened, losing the manager of six years. We did not start well. We were like rabbits in headlights. We will see where we went wrong on Monday. I have loved this week. I did not realise how much work goes into it behind the scenes. I have grown into it during the week. I will do it for as long as possible and see what happens but I have no idea what is going on behind the scenes."
