Steve Cotterill Quotations

It was a disappointing way to end the year but you can't expect to play for 30 minutes and win a game. We'd like to get a result there on Monday, but I'm sure QPR will have something to say about that.

I don't want to give Robbie Blake any praise, but he was superb.

If we'd kept a clean sheet tonight we'd have won 1-0.

We're happy that he's signed and that he can be part of the squad moving forward.

I've known Mick a long time from our Third Division days when we were rivals, but I'm looking forward to seeing him and pitting my wits.

He put in a real big shift and I'm delighted with him.

Number two he's a big lad and we are going to see if we can trim him down a little bit over the coming months.

He's a very good player, an absolute gem, the jewel in our crown. He will make us play.

We were asleep. I think if I'm honest Norwich deserved all three points. We had our chances - it could have been 5-4 - but I think in the end 2-1 was probably a fair reflection.

It's been a disappointing day for us. I thought we had as much if not more possession but we've not actually hurt them.
