He said: "The derby has finished now and we were disappointed but that's it and we have to look to the next game which is Portsmouth. We are still in the four competitions and that's the most important thing. We have had six players with attacking mentality injured this season but we have found ourselves still in a good position."
He added: "When you play a lot of games it is important to have a good squad and I believe we will be as good away from home as we are at home very soon."
