"By not winning, we let the fans down," said Keane.

"The players, staff and management are all upset at this defeat - it was a disaster - but it's probably nowhere near as bad as it is for the fans.There is no doubt they will be hurting, we are as well because we wanted to get some silverware but there is nothing we can do about it now."

"We have to lick our wounds, get ourselves back on the training ground and prepare to face Leeds on Wednesday, but even if we win it won't wipe away what happened yesterday. You never know, I suppose this defeat might spur us on but we will only know that when we look back in two or three months' time and see whether we have won anything."
