We got back to The Bridge car park just in time to heat Graham Potter's post-match interview on SCR and I was quite surprised at hearing him bite back, just a little bit, when asked about the boos.
It stuck me as out of character for a man who, incident with Pep aside, always seem to be so in control of his emotions and how he expresses himself - never seeking to criticise, even where it seems obviously merited.

"I don’t understand the reaction at the end in the ground because I couldn’t be happier with what the guys did.
“Everyone’s entitled to their opinion. I completely disagree. I can only say I am really proud of my team, proud of the players, how they played against a tough opponent, created chances. You’ve got Tariq Lamptey, Jakob Moder - young players out there doing their best. Robert Sanchez in goal - a young player doing his best. Marc Cucurella I thought was fantastic, Leo Trossard - fantastic.
"But maybe I need a history lesson, maybe I need to understand where we’re at, because as far as I can see we’re 8th in the Premier League and the boys are giving everything, so we’ll carry on.”
