Postecoglou later said: "It was a tight game and in the big moments we weren't able to capitalise and they were.
"I thought we were in the game the whole time, even at 1-0 we had a great chance to go level. In the second half we were chasing the game so they got a little more space but I thought we were well in it up until that point (the second goal).
"We lost the game so it was a missed chance for three points. We had the opportunities and we had to punish them.
"We lost the game so I am disappointed. (Any pride to take?) Not right now because we have lost. We will assess the season, still one more game to go, one more game against Sheffield United and we need to make sure we win.
"I think wherever you finish is a fair reflection of where you are at."
