: Liam Rosenior: "I have to give the players so MUCH credit. Our schedule has been incredible and for them to put in the energy and effort is amazing." "Reece (James) is an incredible captain and leader and Pedro (Joao) is an outstanding professional and a great player." "Cole (Palmer) is a GEM. We have to take care of him for the rest of the season." "We can't let this result affect the remainder of our season." "I'm extremely disappointed every time we lose a game of football. I'm hurting but we have to move on... we have another game in 3 days."

Rosenior on SkySports: "We felt with the game plan that we had a good chance to come through. The result was not what we wanted. I am seeing clear improvements in three and a half weeks or four weeks since I have been here but tonight the result didn't go our way." "Up to 60 minutes (it went to plan), we lost Pedro and Reece this morning. We hope to have them back at the weekend. Cole, we have to look after him, he has had a really difficult last eight/nine months with the amount of game he has played, he played a full 90 vs West Ham you could see his quality right away when he came on. Estevao has been away in Brazil (on compassionate leave) and rightfully so with his family. We needed to make sure we gave ourselves the best chance and the tie didn't run away from us in the first half. I felt we dominated in the second half, the game plan went the way we wanted it to but we just couldn't find the breakthrough."

I understand Palmer doesn’t want to get surgery so he doesn’t rule himself out of the World Cup but fuck me he’s not making the squad the way he’s performing!!

Been told Reece James is simply being rested by #CFC tonight, not a fresh injury issue. 🤢😒Arguably one of the biggest games of our season & the captain is nowhere to be seen!

💥🗯Harry Hudson, Joe Shields, Glen van der Kraan, and Dan Hogan really emptied the U21 and U18 teams on the last transfer day! Dujuan Richards will also be following soon to Leicester City.
