"We are very, very disappointed with the result but I cannot fault my team one bit. I am not disappointed with the performance at all and I thought we were excellent.
"It was a great game and a great advertisement for this league but we have to start taking our chances. We created a lot out there and were the better team but that has been our downfall.
"It has been one of our failings in recent weeks and a little bit of luck decided the game. It just did not go for us.
"Do not get me started about the referee. We should have had a clear penalty in the first half but he does not give it and books Marc (Richards). That is all I am prepared to say on the matter because I will get myself into trouble.
"We knew that we would have to come here and deal with the pressure if we were to do something this season. We did that and I cannot fault my players one bit.
"We can hold our heads high today. Our supporters were fantastic and I think you could see at the end what they felt about our performance".
