Dearden...'The game was Poor'

Speaking to the BBC after the match, Dearden said "I think the game itself was poor, they got the result they wanted. They battled like hell, and probably would have been happy with a draw, but they have got the three points."

"We talked in the week about starting sloppy and that's what happened today, we can't just put up a display against good teams, we have to do it against everyone. It's my responsibilty to sort it."

"Today we had a lot of pressure, in the 2nd half when we put Baps out there on the right to support Hammy, I thought we might have got something out of the game when we missed a couple of chances."

"We missed D'Laryea a lot today, you don't realise until he isn't playing, but lads who go in have got to do it."
