“They were dogged and they’ve got a midfield that’s got speed and bite and agility.

“They’re a good side and I think their league position’s false. They’ve had two or three injuries to key players.

“Their XI plus their three subs is a good side so make no mistake, we know they’re a good side. But we were a good side.

“We had a good XI out on the pitch and I have to take responsibility for the defeat.”
