He said,
"We didn't really start playing until 30 mins in and by that time we were 1-0 down"
"There was an amazing atmosphere at Hillsbrough yesterday and the players seemed to curl up a bit, in the second half though we played much better and I thought we were going to nick something from the game."
On monday's return leg the boss said,
"We're not a massive club theres not going to 28000 there but our stadium is small and old fashioned meaning that the atmosphere can be just as intimidating for the opposing players, I expect the ground to be full and we'll see what we can do"
As for his gameplan he said,
"I didnt go out for a draw but the way we were being controlled by them it may have seemed like damage limitation, in the second leg we'll just play our football, 90 minutes is a long time and we wont panic if a goal doesn't come straight away."
