"When we scored the first goal, personally and for the other players, we felt we would win the game.
"At the end, we were disappointed. We were very disappointed about the result because we had to win the game.
"We scored at the end of the game and then we conceded a goal, so it was very bad for us."
Interim boss Joe Kinnear: "It is just his sharpness. The question is whether Michael can do 90 minutes or not - that's the difference.
"We will monitor him. He has had numerous injuries but he is getting sharper by the day."
