Martin on substituting Kamaldeen: “We were 3-0 down in 14 minutes. We had to change the shape. So I feel for Kamaldeen, but we knew he was going to have to come off early at some point, he hasn’t played a lot, 55-60 was going to be his max. It made sense.” #saintsfc [bbc]

Armstrong: “I've said in previous interviews the Premier League is the best in the world & when you're coming up against these teams it's tough. I've got nothing else to say it's a tough one for me & the team. We have to move forward & take everyday as it comes.” #saintsfc [tnt]

Armstrong: “Confidence comes from wins and that's something we're not doing at the minute. I can't fault the lads, we give it everything every day to earn why we should be here. We work hard every day and nights like tonight we got punished.” #saintsfc [tnt]

Armstrong: “We were there to do a job and we set up to do a job. It was just one of those nights it just didn't go our away. The lads gave everything throughout the second-half. It's a tough one because you can't start that bad in any sport and we got punished.” #saintsfc [tnt]

Armstrong: “The first goal was 40/50 seconds which just isn't good enough at this level. We've seen how brutal this league is and once you're cut open it's just hard to stop them. I've got nothing else to say really it just wasn't good enough from all of us.” #saintsfc [tnt]

Armstrong: “It's a tough one to take. At this level you get cut open quite easily and we got punished straight away. It's hard to put into words really. We weren't good enough, it's as simple as that.” #saintsfc [tnt]

Martin on fan chants: "The fans have been amazing for us since we've been here from day one. I understand the frustration. I also understand the modern world and football and what it is. So apart from that, I have no real response to that." #saintsfc @alfiehouse.bsky.social

Martin on the fans: “They were amazing second half, really good. I understand it’s not personal [the boos]. I don’t know them, they don’t know me. We have no choice but to work and to fight.” #saintsfc [tnt]

Martin: “I loved the week’s training. But we don’t carry out the plan with anywhere near enough intensity or aggression. I didn’t recognise our team in the first half. It’s a tough night.” #saintsfc [tnt]

Martin: “I’m hurt at the first half. We just don’t respond very well to setbacks as a group. The response is very poor. Incredibly disappointed.” #saintsfc [tnt]

Martin: “I cannot work out, & will be eternally frustrated, that we’ve ended up on five points somehow, with some really terrible decisions made against us & some really big injuries as well. It’s been a really strange season in terms of misfortune & bad luck.” #saintsfc [bbc]

Martin on his future: “It’s not in my control. All I can control is my energy with the players. We’re so close. We were so competitive against four top teams. The situation is what it is.” #saintsfc [bbc]

Martin on the goal: “We played out and got pressed just before that - so then it makes Joe [Lumley] kick it long, and it gets a cheer from our supporters, - and we concede within 10 seconds. So, yeah. It is what it is.” #saintsfc [bbc]

Martin: “We pressed high and well. It was a fairly even game in terms of that but we need a bit more belief and conviction. The pitch got a bit dry and bobbly at the end but I'm not sure it impacted too much - it’s the same for both teams.” #saintsfc [sky]

Martin: “[We were] good in the first half. Got in their final third a lot but it didn't come to enough and that's my frustration. Gave away a poor goal when it was a good game, a tight game. We changed shape so the game became transitional.” #saintsfc [sky]

Martin on Nathan Wood: “Brilliant bit of 1v1 defending at the end. We understand the potential he has and he'll be a good Premier League player in my opinion.” #saintsfc [bbc]

Martin: “We've had a lot of changes in the team. The two centre-halves played well. It's hurt us a bit with the changes we've made but it's a poor goal to concede. If we concede a good one we can say OK but the goals we're conceding it's not good enough.” #saintsfc [bbc]

Martin: “We lose the game so I'm disappointed. Disappointed at the goal we concede and we got in the final third more than they got in ours. Played some good football, twice through on goal and it comes to nothing.” #saintsfc [bbc]
