“The lads gave everything tonight. We’re flat, because the bottom line is we lost another game of football,” he said after the game.
“That’s why Arsenal are where they are, they found a way and we also found a way to help them, I think. I can make all the excuse in the world, I can say it’s Arsenal away and all of that, but we’ve lost the game.
“The lads gave everything. I’m proud of a lot of it tonight, but it hurts. I hate losing games. We all do. We’ve lost far too many, but I think we’re going about it in the right way to try and turn things around.
“You can see it tonight – there’s a team that’s committed. They’re sticking together, they’re fighting, and I feel for the supporters.”
