Steve Harper: "It is massive. We have had a tough run of fixtures, but we haven't performed either.

"We have had good spells in patches, but in this league, you have to do it for 90 minutes and until we can do that, we are going to struggle.

"We have got a big week in front of us and in that time, we really need to stick together and build towards Saturday and try to get a positive result.

"We have got some big games coming up. We have got to put this one behind us. It is gone.

"It is a demoralising defeat, but come Monday morning, we are back on the training field and we build up for what is a massive game next week.

"You do need a bit of luck when you are on a run like this, but you need to help yourselves as well and we are not doing that at the minute.

"We are just shooting ourselves in the foot and until we can eradicate that, we are going to have problems.

"It is becoming like a tape recorder playing the same tune over and over again. It is demoralising.

"We need to win a football match for the players. They are an honest group of players here who care and I wouldn't say that if I didn't believe it.

"But just being honest and caring is not quite enough in the Premier League."
