MATCH QUOTES

“They were terrible. “The people I feel sorry for are the fans who travelled from Birmingham … we really let them down. “It was not so much losing but the way in which we lost. “It was a shocking team performance. “Their attitude was all wrong.” Tommy Docherty suggests the dressing room is no longer responding.
