My uncle died at 7am, so a really bad day at the office, but we’ll be back bigger and stronger and it starts with the cup on Saturday against Rochdale and then Fleetwood in our stadium, so we’re ready to rock and roll. "We got punished for every mistake we made and we conceded two set plays to start the game. When you come to these tough places, you have to be pretty much perfect and your start to the game has got to be exceptional.
