Chris Davies' general reflections on the game

The game itself I was pretty pleased with our performance overall, I would say. I thought it was a little bit harsh going in 1-0 down at half-time. We had a decent chance, Luis Vazquez with a header. And we played some better football than we have played in any of the home games, in terms of patience and adding that little bit more of the moments of control and switches of play. That's pleasing because we have been working on that. And we didn't lose our threat. We didn't lose our set-pieces and that. First-half was so-so. They got a bit of control at times. They're a very difficult team to play against with the fluidity and threat they have. To go in 1-0 down, we've had a bit of that (recently), felt a bit harsh.
