"It was a mistake from me that lost us the game," he told MUTV after the match. When we push forward so much, we leave ourselves exposed sometimes. But Bolton wouldn't have scored if it wasn't for my mistake tonight."

"We can't afford to go through games 1-0 up. Against Sunderland and nearly against Middlesbrough we paid for not finishing chances off. We've had chances tonight and we couldn't put them away. We were erratic. I had a couple of good chances but if you don't take them you get punished and we did."

"We're not playing to our best, but we have to get to our best and quickly. We're in seventh or eighth in the League and we're not happy about that. I'm sure the fans aren't happy about that either. It's up to us to get ourselves out of it. You can only afford to lose four or five games in a season, and this is our first loss tonight. We can't afford to go through the League losing and drawing games. We've got to win."

" We have to apologise to the fans because they pay money to watch us and silly mistakes are costing us games."
