In a post-match interview with the BBC, Ferguson expressed his frustration with the team’s performance. “Angry, really angry in fact, that’s the most simplest way I can put it,” he said. “I’ve just had a straight chat with them in the dressing room. There’s no way I can accept that, I just cannot accept that, I really can’t.”
Ferguson attributed the team’s struggles to a lack of aggression and intensity in their play. “I want to see more aggression in our play with and without the ball. I never saw it, and that’s the thing I’m absolutely raging with.”

Boyd also criticized the team’s inconsistency, noting that they have struggled against teams that are considered to be inferior opponents. “It’s the inconsistency that has cost them this year once again,” he said.
