The match against the London club was difficult for the team. Hopefully, we have learnt a lot. At this point we need to start picking up points.”
Regarding the winger: “He wasn’t close ultimately. Medical imaging showed a minor issue with his hip and it’s an excellent opportunity for Harvey to step up.”
