"The real disappointment for us has been our two cup losses. The defeats were all the more unusual given the level of consistency we had shown in the league."
"We are aware of how great the disappointment was for the fans, but they have been very good and patient in their support since then."
"The pleasing aspect for me this season has been how well the young players such as Aaron Lennon, Michael Dawson and Jermaine Jenas have done."
"Dawson and Lennon have played a lot of games and made good progress while Tom Huddlestone came in for his first game on Tuesday and was excellent."
"Edgar Davids has been fabulous for us. At 32 he didn't come here for an easy life and we are very pleased with his contribution. Edgar had not been a regular at Roma before he arrived and we did not know his fitness level. But he has been first rate and there's no doubt that his experience and knowledge has rubbed off on the younger players in the squad."
