Manager Neil Warnock:

“I’m quite proud of the lads today, and disappointed we got beat.

“I thought we had the better chances - you don’t get better than Lees’ header and the Kasumu one.

“It was a penalty, and it’s a bad way to lose a game.”

“I thought we negated their threats, but you have to take your chances when they came.

“I was glad our fans stayed and clapped them off, because I thought the players deserved it today.

“We have to score goals though.”

Danny Ward felt really bad on Thursday, so we didn’t even consider him. We’ve got too many games coming up and we’ll need him.”

If the old codger's hoping that Danny Ward is going to save us, he's barking up the doolally tree. His comments are becoming more and more Fotheringhamesque by the day. I was hoping, nay praying that this fella was going to perform some kind of miracle, but sadly one's prayers have gone unanswered.

What hope do we now have? The only hope lies in the B team and a seven foot tall striker who still, bizarrely, hasn't yet made it onto the bench for the first team. What's the point of playing long ball shite if there's nobody up there? We can't play this style when none of our attackers ever wins a header.

And there, ladies and gentlemen, rests our final chance at survival. A striker from the non league who still hasn't played in the Championship.

Come on Colin. It's time for Hudlin.
