As the chairman [Steve Gibson] stated earlier, and I will state now, we don't want to lose our best players at this football club - and Mark Viduka is one of them.

I said before the game this was going to be difficult. The hard work was done last week and we just had to make sure we got the right result to take us through.

It think it would be a real shock to European football.

It was an excellent performance, a great European performance.

He was just finding his feet. He was becoming our main man in midfield, keeping the ball for us and creating. It's a big blow for us, eight to ten weeks just when we seemed to be getting some consistency from the players.

It's quite serious. We don't know at this stage if it's a break or ligaments.

I was a little disappointed we missed the opportunity to get a second. When you get the opportunity, you've got to take it. It would have been the icing on the cake.

We're in the last third of the season and we've still got a lot to play for. We've got ourselves in trouble in the Premiership and we've still got to get out of that and we're going well in the cups.
