James Perch: "It is really difficult when you have a player like Yohan on the sidelines because the guy is of genuine international quality.
"The gaffer has had to do something and he has put me, Cheick [Tiote] and Vurnon [Anita] in there and I think we have done okay.
"We were never happy when we lose and we can never say we played too well.
"We were looking to get better every game if we get the chance to play together over an extended spell."
