It’s another setback and we didn’t help ourselves with this result, not at all.
If you look at the run of play, I’m not saying we played great, but if we play this game in this fashion 10 times we don’t lose 10 times."Slot insisted his side created enough to collect all three points but admitted the team simply haven't been good enough.
