In his interview he revealed he was 'embarrassed to be a coach of a team that plays like that'. It was, as he put it so succinctly, 'rubbish'. It was certainly an evening to forget as even more fans than usual stayed away making a mockery of the official attendance of over 14,000.

Those that did make the effort sat in silence as their team failed to create any clear scoring opportunities against one of the poorest teams in the league. The manager accepted his responsibility for the poor performance but no matter how well prepared his team is, there is little he can do when his players make poor decisions all over the pitch throughout the game.
