Vital Quotes:

Dodds – ‘I’ll never get over what happened but it’s like everything, as time goes on it gets easier,’ he said. ‘I will never get over it because I believed we had a great chance here, with some great players. We just fell short, but it’s not as if we were getting well beaten. There were just some particular things letting us down.’
