“We didn’t handle the final quarter-hour of the primary half very properly and we didn’t handle the second half properly. We did all of the issues we hoped we might, it was a case of would we rating.
“Iliman Ndiaye scored an excellent particular person purpose, Jack [Grealish] hits the put up and after we missed [Thierno Barry’s] likelihood we didn’t have sufficient, then we conceded instantly after kick-off. Objectives make the distinction and might change how you’re feeling as a supervisor.
“Coming to Sunderland, some extent shouldn’t be a nasty outcome, however after half-hour I used to be feeling ‘we’re alright right here, we should always get a outcome’.

However we switched on the final a part of the primary half, and the second half was a lot better and we deserved to even rating a second purpose.
