Roeder Says Butt Sould "Look At Himself"

Glenn Roeder: "I think we gave a very flat performance but what was most disappointing was the poor manner of the first goal.

"Nicky Butt has been fantastic for us this season and I don't want to criticise him for dropping a back pass but goals change matches and what people think about themselves.

"We probably had the best of what few chances there were in the first half and I just said to the players at half time to try to get through the first 10 minutes of the second half.

"But what was it? Three or four minutes and we are a goal behind.

"We couldn't come back after that but I'd never criticise the team for lack of commitment. They all did their best but it just didn't happen for us today."
