Allardyce - Bitter Pill To Swallow!

Last updated : 02 November 2007 By Footy Mad - Editor

Sam Allardyce: "We've put huge pressure on ourselves after back-to-back (home) wins to win another home game, and put ourselves back in the picture at the top end.

"I find it really disappointing that we've left ourselves in that position.

"We won't win every game at home. We've got to get points away from home, and it was an ideal opportunity to put one in the bag.

"We scored in the 76th minute and had 14 minutes to see out.

"But we committed suicide by conceding a very basic goal, really, that we should deal with 99 times out of 100, or 999 times out of a 1,000.

"We would have been three games undefeated, and broken the problem away from home by getting one point, but the goal we've conceded has made life extremely difficult."
