“That's certainly frustrating, it puts us behind where we wanted to be. We've got Roma coming up and I'll have to have a think about that now as well [in terms of the team].
“It's not great for us. To be honest, as well, we played so well in the first 45 against a really strong team, we'd have liked to have seen it through and tried to put two halves together.
“All in all, a frustrating evening. I thought we were the better team, scored a good goal and had the better of the opportunities,” Neil said. “I can't really remember them having too many opportunities.
