"We didn't start quickly at all tonight and it was uphill after that. I was disappointed to lose a goal so early and from a set-piece too.
"I wouldn't lambaste our players, we haven't done well but we still showed our character and you can't argue with that” added Boothroyd.
“We didn't particularly play well. We showed lots of spirit but were nowhere near as good as we can be.
We kept giving the ball back to them and you can't do that.
But we got back in it and we should have won it. When you are 2-1 up with five minutes to go you expect it to be closed down, but it wasn't to be."
