Well, a draw against Newcastle last week, what did that performance tell you about where your team are at in terms of how you want them playing?
There’s obviously three disappointing factors in three different situations where we stopped ourselves winning three points and that was the penalty miss and two penalties given their way. When we contain a Newcastle side that’s third in the league to so few opportunities and so a few chances, we really did kick ourselves in the guts by gifting those penalties.
I think, for me, it was a bitter pill to swallow the next day when we looked at the situation and what we'd done and how much we got on the brink of a crucial three points with only two games left after this one. As I said, we were probably 60-65 per cent sure we’d stay up if we’d have won that game and now we've got to go and win at West Ham. It wouldn't have been essential to win at West Ham I don’t think we’d have won last week. I think a point would have been another great achievement, trying to win but making sure we didn't lose and then going into the last game.
