Gary McCann was in a philosophical mood after last night's defeat at Metropolitan Police.

He said, "I am disappointed to lose the game, obviously. But I don't think we played that badly.

"On another day we would have got something from the game. We played our part in what was a good spectacle.

"We had enough chances to win the game, but things didn't go for us. We didn't take our chances at key moments in the game.

"The first goal was somewhat against the run of play but the second was a poor goal from our part defensively.

"But credit to the Police, they defended superbly and really put their bodies on the line. They didn't give us the clear-cut chances we wanted. I am sure that if we had got a goal back in the first half, or early in the second, we would have got at least another one."
