GIGGS NOT ONE TO DWELL

“Losing in the play-off was a big blow. We made such a good
start to the group and there was so much expectation, to end
it like that was obviously very disappointing.

"But you can't dwell on it. You have to move forward and
look forward to the next game, which in Premiership terms is
Chelsea. Sunday's game is a big one. Chelsea are riding high
and playing really well. They appear to have gelled very
quickly.

"It is a difficult place to go at the best of times and we
will need to play well to beat them. We have always
maintained that as long as we are there or thereabouts at
the turn of the year we will be okay because that is when we
start playing well.

"We have done well in a few games this season but we know we
are capable of stepping up on our second-half performance on
Saturday - we will certainly need to."
