Dudek: No repeats

Dudek says that the failure to qualify on the final day of last season still hurts but will ensure that the players will go all out to avoid similar disappointment this time around.

Said Dudek: "We all remember how close we came last year and how disappointed we felt after the final game when we lost at Chelsea. It was a bad moment for all of us and I remember it well.
 
"We want to make sure we don't go through the same experience at the end of this season. It's so important for everyone at the club that we make the Champions League this time around. We don't want to lose out again.
 
"It's going to be hard because we have four big games left to play, but I am confident we can do it. We will go to Manchester United on Saturday in a positive frame of mind and if we get a result there then it will set us up nicely for the last three games.
 
"We know we can't afford to lose but we're not thinking in those terms anyway. We need to get something - hopefully a victory!"
