    Disappointing, especially as they were shaky at the end, but we just didn't have what it takes to go after them sooner.

    Not in our hands anymore, but we still have more than a good chance to go through, 50-50 at least I think.

    Can't be too harsh on the Bhoys. Still a chance of qualifying dd many people think we would be in this position going into a final game at home?

    Really gutted, always knew this would be a real tough game, but expected us to do better. Ball retention tonight was diabolical. Forster absolutely outstanding yet again, Wilson too. Ambrose was * howling though.

    Not an excuse, but the ref was absolutely atrocious. He's also made our chances even slimmer by booking Wanyama. Going to be such a hard game against Spartak. Just need to hope Barca don't * up, and hopefully Spartak won't be too desperate for a result since they're out

    2 weeks ago I had high hopes of us going through to the last 16 and maybe even further. Now I'm not so sure, a reality check to be honest. Ref was * but we were shiter. We NEED more up front, technically they made us look like a pish SPL side.
