On what didn’t go right in the match…
“Our final third play. We had chances to punish early on in the game, and we didn't punish. There were clear chances that had to be put away, and the first thing in the game that they got was a penalty. The game changes, and a team like San Diego, credit to them. Once they get the goal, it gives them a little bit of belief and confidence and takes away some of our belief, and what we don't want to do against a group like San Diego is have to go chase the game. They have a lot of quality and if you're late and disorganized, you get punished. And then we were in these individual defending moments that just didn't turn out well for us tonight. It became a trickle down process. We're chasing, and chasing under fatigue, unorganized. It compounds itself and that's what happened. They got the penalty, and it changed the game. And I think if we had punished them early on, maybe it would have become a different game. So credit to San Diego.”
On moving forward…
“We've done great on the road but tonight's performance was just not good enough. We know that. We know that we're better than what this result shows. We have to become humble, get on the training field and guys need to be competing for jobs. When you lose in a game like this we have to figure out who wants to be in the grass come Wednesday night and come Saturday, and that's what I got. I got a competitive group that understands that this is an opportunity for them.”
“We have to take this result and be honest with it and turn ourselves around, because we've got two big games Wednesday and Saturday, so we can't feel sorry for ourselves. We got to call it what it is, and be upset about it, and it can't happen again. It's unacceptable. This turn of events, that's the way the game went. We were humbled. We felt good about ourselves, from last week, and we lost focus for a moment, and it changed the game. We just never found ourselves back in the game. We didn't take our chances to get back but a lot of football left to play.”
