Huddersfield Town boss 'ashamed' over defeat to Bristol City

Huddersfield Town boss Danny Cowley says he was ashamed of yesterday's loss to Bristol City.

The Robins ran out 5-2 winners at Ashton Gate having already raced into a 4-1 lead at half-time to bounce back from a midweek defeat to West Bromwich Albion.

Cowley has presided over a run of form that has led the Terriers out of the relegation zone, but admitted the performance was not good enough.

"I actually felt ashamed when I went over to applaud our fans at the end," he said to the Yorkshire Post.

"We are pampered and flew down yesterday when they were working to earn the money to come and watch us.

"Now they face a long journey home and I feel for them because they stuck behind the players throughout the game and were a credit to our club.

"I am not used to seeing my players lack resilience. We did not have enough good men out there with the qualities you need to get results away from home in the Championship.

"Bristol City were very good and all credit to them. But we have to take a long hard look at ourselves in the mirror after that performance.

"It didn’t help losing Fraizer so early and we are without some key defenders, but I am not going to try and hide behind that.

"Before we look to bounce back we need to analyse fully where we fell short."
