Aidy's View: Arsenal (a)

Last updated : 16 October 2006 By Gary Holmes

"We came here with a plan to attack, we created chances in the game but we were undone by two goals that were ariel which is not like us.

I am very pleased we are making chances and I'd be more upset if we weren't creating those. But at this level, if you don't take your opportunities you will be punished.

We thought we could have upset Arsenal's party but it I was still very proud of my team".

After seeing his side finally dismantled by an ever improving Arsenal side Boothroyd continued,

“A lot of teams come here and just lay down but we kept going and created a lot of openings. But against these sort of sides you have to take them.

For periods of our play we were very very good but we didn't have the end product, whether it be the cross, or the shot, or the finish, and if you don't do that you don't win matches.

I've said well done to the players today, not because of just getting here, but people in my dressing room have come a long way to get where they are.

But I've also said that's not enough, you've got to push and you've got to keep going and keep going until you're the best you can be.

This is a whole new level for us and it's only a matter of time before we get that first win."
