And Almiron I haven't seen before just yet.

So, you know, it was a damage limitation when them two were coming on.

I've got no qualms about the substitutions.

Up until today, we've worked on our defensive organisation and it's kept us in the game.

We didn't have a left-wing back in particular, so we changed, but we've made it more difficult for ourselves.

Of course, to win any football match, you have to create the opportunities too, so it's getting that balance right between the two, and that's one thing we'll have to work on.

Well, look, it's a bad, bad performance.

The one thing we have to do is go to work this week and put away the mistakes we're obviously making and give ourselves a chance in the game.

We can't just go around like we did today, otherwise it is going to be one difficult season.

So we have to do the basics well and do the basics right and at the moment we're not doing them.

Do you think the players threw in the towel today?

I would think that's a bit strong.

It was a difficult one, as I said to you, because the second and third goal came so quickly.

And that's somewhere afternoon, a mistake and a bad deflection.

After that, it became very difficult and they had to stay in.

But some were defending, left a lot to be desired, to say the least.

And it all ended up in a horrible, horrible afternoon for everybody.

Is this job, I know you knew it was going to be tough, but is it proving harder than you thought?

Listen, I always knew it was going to be tough, but I've had a tough career over the last 20 years.

And when you take defeats like you have today, you have to show them what you've got, stick your chest out and come back for a bit more.
