"The first 20 minutes were quite dead in regards to us. Before the game we were trying to make sure that didn't happen but the cup game obviously took it out of us a little bit, but we stuck in there and second half we put away the chances we had. Unfortunately if Scott (McGleish) had put away that last one he had for 3-1 it would have been a different story, but fair play to them, they kept going.
"Probably we would have taken a point at half-time, but maybe not, because at half-time we really felt we could turn it round. That's the feeling we've got within the lads, there's belief there, unfortunately we did but couldn't hold on. I think in the cold light of day it probably was a fair result. A point's disappointing but better than nothing.
"The gaffer (Geraint Williams) just came in at half-time and said that he understood that everyone was tired and it's hard sometimes to get going, and just told us again exactly what we needed to do as he had done before the game, and we took it from there.
"I'd say the second one was a stronger penalty shout, the challenge on Jason (Demetriou), but maybe he (referee Graham Horwood) didn't give it because he thought the first one was close too. But that's football, we didn't get it but maybe we'll get another one during the season to make up for it.
"I think Adrian Patulea brought a few different ideas to the team when he came on, blended in well and got up quite a good bit of steam. It was a nice move for the second goal, and a quality finish from Scotty, and the third one he hit I think he thought it was in but the keeper's made a great save in the end. But that's what Scott gives you, you put him in there and you fancy him to score.
"Cat (Glenn Morris) has come in and made a great save at the end there. It's important that you've got a keeper like that you can bring in, and he's proved his weight today - we're really pleased for him that he's come in and done well."
