"We ended up being a toothless team - but that's also because we haven't got many attacking players on the pitch. The transfer window is open today - we need players who are experienced and body-hardened. Bodies and minds are what we need. We can't just sign a whole host of players - we've got to make sure they're good enough and will make us better.
"We've also got an injury list but they won't be out forever and will be back and affect us at some stage - as a squad, hopefully this is the worst we'll be and we've now got a little bit of time to get some bodies back on the pitch. We need to improve our game understanding and execution - and get a little bit of confidence off the back of that. It was a poor start to the game and in the position we're in at the moment, we've got to give ourselves more of a chance for longer and hold on to something."
“Trust me, they are fighting, but they’re not good enough to do certain actions. We know that but they are fighting. There is no lack of effort from that group of players, even when there is a lack of quality and belief in terms of what we can compete with, but we’ve also come up against a good team today.
