Quotes from the press conference after the game

“I was trying to find out some information on Joe before I came in (to the press room). He is on his way to hospital. We don’t know any more than what we can guess at this stage. And we would rather not guess.

“There is a potential that it is a serious injury.

“We just have to hope that it not.

“We will let the experts do their job.

“I thought Rangers asked more questions of us. We still had a couple of good chances in the first half.

“Rangers were quicker to the ball in that earlier period and we allowed too many crosses into our box. We got away with one when Morelos headed wide. That was an early warning. The goal we lose – it is not good enough. We have left him unmarked. We have come out and switched off and not defended the cross instead of staying touch tight until the ball is cleared. Basic defending.

“Although as I say we had chances in the first half, Rangers deserved to go 1-0 up at half time.

“That said we were still in the game.

“There was not a lot happening in the second half. Joe Lewis has one good save at 1-0. I was looking for more from my team at the start of the half. Then we gift the penalty kick. He should not get in there. We should see it off. I think Anthony can do a lot better and sense that danger and shepherd it away. Windass has taken advantage and we are left with a serious injury and a penalty to contend with.

“At 2-0 we had four or five really good chances.

“Foderingham was excellent with his saves. A couple of them were straight at him but he has still got to make them. He had one or two fantastic saves.

“So although Rangers were the better team their goalkeeper has done very well for them to keep a clean sheet.

“We are guilty of not doing more in the game and guilty of not converting those chances we created. Fantastic chances, four or five clear cut chances.

“We have got a fight for second spot clearly. Rangers were clear favourites at the start of the season and they have made good signings. But for me tonight we fell short of what we are capable of. If we can get to our level, which we do most weeks, then we can still finish second I feel this season.

“We have always been a team who are capable on going on good runs.

“We have work to do. We need more from certain players.

“We will dust ourselves down and then look forward to Saturday and try and respond by winning the game.”
