IT was a bad weekend all round for me.

Like Rafael Benitez, I'm left to lift my players after a 5-0 defeat to Shrewsbury.

We have no money available to strengthen the side, so we can only work with the players we have.

We will have a team meeting to get the thoughts of the lads. I have always thought it important to let players have their say. It brings everyone closer and managers can learn things from it.

Like Liverpool we can't afford to feel sorry for ourselves after a defeat like that. We just have to work hard in order to improve things.
