Post-match comments from assistant coach David Sauvry, Prince Owusu and George Campbell are available HERE.
DAVID SAUVRY
"We're disappointed, that's for sure. We had prepared well for the match. We were consistent from the start, we created chances and we could have taken the lead, but we were punished for individual errors. I think that going in at half-time down 1-0 puts us in more difficulty rather than going in at 0-0, having that momentum and continuing to push. We took that second goal, which hurt because it was even more complicated to get back."
PRINCE OWUSU
"We wanted to win our first game at home. We want it so much that we become stiff. I think we have to get the stiffness away, communicate more and be braver in the defence and the offence. We have to analyze this game, take the good parts and learn from the mistakes."
GEORGE CAMPBELL
"We needed to get a little tighter and more aggressive and not let them bring the ball down and play as much. But that's Cincinnati's qualities and that was on us to figure these out. I think we can't let our foot off the gas in training, or put our head down in training. We must push, focus more and learn how we can build off the mistakes we made and improve."
