Knill: Disappointed with his team

Knill: Disappointed with his team

On-loan Stoke midfielder Florent Cuvelier scored the winner to dump the Iron back into the League One bottom four.

"For some reason it is just not happening for us at home this season and it is so frustrating," he said. "How we did not get something out of this game, I just do not know.

"They have scored from their only shot of the first half. It was a poor goal for us to give away and it has cost us dearly. We had a right go at them in the second half but we just could not put the ball in the back of the net.

"It wasn't that we didn't create the chances but it was just one of those nights when it didn't happen for us. That is really disappointing because this was the chance to move six points clear of the bottom four.

"But we can't feel sorry for ourselves. We have to lift ourselves quickly back up again because the games continue to come thick and fast. And I am still confident that if we continue to play like this, we will pull clear to safety."

xcellent decision, probably one of VERY few footballers who will be remembered as leaving the club after scoring the champions league winning goal with his very last kick! Not many get that tag in football!

Drogba confirms Blues departure

T

his is for the best, his hunger would be in serious question now after winning everything with us. A true Chelsea legend, up there with Osgood and Zola, come back and see us now and then Didier. And as Martin Tyler said on Saturday night....he is immortal at Chelsea. What a way to go out eh....Good luck big man wherever you land next.

ne of the many delights of the final few seconds of the season was seeing little Mike Owen with his trackie off and full replica kit on, getting ready to celebrate having contributed NOTHING all season. Would have been on a par with Terry's carry-on in Munich.
