Alan Pardew: “I’m disappointed for the club, because I think we deserved something, if I’m honest.
“I’m very happy with the performance, especially individually.
“Fergie (Shane Ferguson) came on and changed the game with that left foot of his.
“It was something we need in the first team – he needs to push on now.
“(Haris) Vuckic could have got the goal of the season with his ability.
“Bigi (Gael Bigirimana) came on and sprayed it around.
“I could talk about positives all night – Tav (James Tavernier) was solid. He needs to work on his final pass, but he’ll get that and play for this football club, for sure.”
“The goals were at an awful time for us – two minutes before half time and just as I’m about to try and change the game by introducing a big-hitter.
“They got a second, and that was disappointing.”
