Meeting Highlights

…BEN MEE

Ben Mee will be out for the rest of the season. That is our entire back four out. He got a fracture to his ankle in the contact at West Ham.

…FORM

We have the same staff, same players. Why are the performances not the same? Sometimes not as good performances, sometimes it's margins, sometimes momentum going against us and definitely injuries. We have a good squad but it's the depth in some key positions that makes it difficult, but that's life. It's up to me and the players to find a way out and we will fight.

…ABOUT MATCH

It's more random. I'm happy that we've won the games, but tomorrow's a new story. When I look at that team, it looks like they are close to their strongest starting 11. You can say Reece James, but Gusto has been a bright light.

…FINAL DEFEAT

Always when you lose a final, it's not easy to recover. I'm disappointed but we need to move on and compete tomorrow. I'm happy because they reacted well and they are in a very positive moment.

…TEAM UPDATE

The team is in a good way in the process of re-building a squad. Can you call it 'successful' being in a final and losing? Maybe you can say it's disastrous, good or not good. That depends on how you judge.

…FORM

It's not in my hands. We have a very good relationship with the owners and sporting directors. It's about trust. It's not the coach's decision.
