"That was the fifth time we have taken the lead in the last five games and this is the first time we've managed to win. When they equalised we showed good character to come back.
"But then we showed our naivety and at 3-1 up the game should be over, but we haven't got the capability in the locker to kill games off at the moment so teams are always having a go at us.
"It might have been entertaining for the crowd but it was a bit edgy on the touchline. It's nice to see him [Camara] score, I think those goals took him to double figures for the season now. He's got quick feet, and its nice to see my strikers score.
"He's had a bit of a stop-start season, but it just shows that he's got the ability. It was a good attacking performance, and it must have been a decent game to watch. Straight from our attack, the ball went straight to Angel and they hit us on the break and we were susceptible to that.
"That is something we need to improve upon for next season. But to be in the top eight with three games to go is a wonderful achievement."

"That's a game we should have won and yet we come off without even a point. It's a really hard result to take. But the simple truth is that we conceded soft goals at one end and weren't ruthless enough at the other end.
"This game really summed-up our season. The football we play, we don't have any problem creating chances, but we've not put enough of them away and that's frustrating.
"We felt at half-time that we could get back into it and we did just that with Juan Pablo's goal. But then we went to sleep at the back and before you knew it we were 3-1 down.
"Full credit to the lads, they fought back and when we took it to 3-2, we created more chances to get at least a point, but it just wasn't to be and this is a very disappointing result.
"The big positive is the emergence of the young lads. You'll gets highs and lows with young players, but the likes of Gabby Agbonlahor and Gary Cahill will learn from their recent appearances."
