""Painful, tough afternoon for us. Positive start. When we scored we wanted to go and dominate the game. We never really capitalized on that momentum. The first half fizzed out. Second half we were second best. Too many giveaways. Too many times we gave momentum back to Sunderland. Defeat's harsh on us.""
""We have to really look at ourselves and make sure we learn from all the mistakes we made. It's happened to us before. This isn't a one-off. Yes there have been mitigating factors.""
""It was so delicately poised. Sven hits the post. Malick's goal is chalked off. These are big momentum swingers for us. We wanted the second goal. We needed to defend our goal better than we did in the two moments we conceded.""
""We'll never give up on anything. We'll always go for what we can. I want to see more domination of the ball and better chances. We have a lot to reflect on.""
