... Glenn Roeder, as always, refused to point the finger of blame. He works by the theory "players know when they make mistakes, they don't need me to remind them".

Roeder: "It is stating the obvious, but the two goals we conceded were, by our standards of late, shockers. They were two woeful goals.

"Srnicek hardly had anything else to do of any consequence, so after Kieron scored, to concede that goal in the first half and not get in 1-0 up after for the first half-hour playing so well, was a huge disappointment.

"No, I do not blame anybody. The blame game is no good. Nolan pushed Ramage in the back, but you cannot expect referees to see everything. Unfortunately, he has gone and scored an own goal. But you have to live with these things."
