They had never played in a stadium with an atmosphere like this. Why I'm saying this is not to protect myself but to protect them. They need protecting. I made no substitutions because it would have been unfair. I see them in training every day. That's where we are. The [senior] players need support."
"At times the Austrian, who on Friday announced he would be leaving Selhurst Park at the end of this season, sounded as if he was talking himself out of the remaining few months of his contract.

Players displayed effort on the pitch, but perceived lack of support and insufficient reinforcements have harmed results and morale.
