I mean, we have to stay humble and stay home, but we can't get ahead of ourselves, feel too good, and then go on the road to Portland and get stung, which would take away the momentum. We've got humble guys in that locker room who understand, with great veterans that have been around the game a long time and are helping our young players in the process.

"I think in life, sometimes you have to be honest, and I have to take accountability for that performance. I would say it was one of the poorest performances of my whole managerial career, from the first minute until the last minute."

Believe it or not, games like this are going to make us better. There's a lot we'll take from it, whether that means we can create chances being down a man...

Phil Neville stated that the players are taking pride in maintaining clean sheets, emphasizing that they've lost only one of their last eleven games, contributing to confidence.

The spirit of the guys - they were not going to give in. It's the first time in a while that I heard at half-time, walking out of the locker room and saying we're not losing tonight.
