I don't need to spell out how important Gareth is to the team. Now we feel it's best for the club and for Ugo that he moves on to pastures new. |
I have to stress again that what we have done so far is to simply create an opportunity to make this season historic for the football club. We haven't won anything yet, but we are determined to give it our best shot. |
I said before the game this was going to be difficult. The hard work was done last week and we just had to make sure we got the right result to take us through. |
I thought lightning could never strike twice in one place. We deserved that, but we're doing it the hard way. Let's go one step further and win it. |
I thought lightning couldn't strike twice but it has here. The players have shown magnificent resilience and they deserved it. |
I was a little disappointed we missed the opportunity to get a second. When you get the opportunity, you've got to take it. It would have been the icing on the cake. |
I was very surprised, very shocked and very disappointed. Really, it was accepted reluctantly on our behalf. But as always, you only want players who are happy here, who want to play for your football club, and Mark has made it known he wants to move on, so we have reluctantly accepted that. |
I'm delighted for the players, delighted for them. There was a lot of pressure on after the last couple of months and I'm delighted for them. |
I've just told the players in the dressing room to enjoy it because moments like this don't come along too often in your career. |
If we want to improve on last season then this is a side we have to beat, |
In a tournament like this the team that starts well isn't necessarily the team that wins it, |
In the last two games we've involved every fit player at this club, including the kids, and we might have to do that again in the next few games. |
It is a big blow. George is a key player, we know just how important he is to the team. |
It is concussion so we will have to assess it and see how bad it is. |
It think it would be a real shock to European football. |
