Speaking after the match about the defeat, manager Paul Dickov was quoted as saying: "The one thing I will do is take getting beat if the team of players try to do what we want them to do. Whether this was a case of too many of them having an off day or too many getting complacent, that's a question I have to answer. If anyone has seen us play, even when we have lost we have created stuff and passed the ball. Today we were devoid of intensity".
