The players take full responsibility for this.

Luke Williams has protected some of the key players and offered the fringe members of the squad an opportunity on a silver platter to impress today against very modest opposition, and they've thrown it away, along with our chances of a lucrative cup run.

If I was Kairo Mitchell or Ed Francis (for instance) I wouldn't be knocking on the manager's door asking for a first-team opportunity anymore. In fact, I'd be making preparations for other employment when my contract expires at the end of the season.
