Dyer reflects on derby defeat

Alex Dyer has shared his post-game thoughts exclusively with WHUTV after the reserves just came up short in the London derby with Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday night.

It was to prove a more than even contest with the first half particularly enthralling - but a touch of Premier League class was to prove decisive in Spurs' favour as they ran out 3-1 winners after an Adel Taarabt hat-trick. Dyer had plenty of positives to take from the game though - including the forward play of goalscorer Anthony Edgar and Junior Stanislas and the defensive partnership of Josh Payne and Matthew Fry.

"It was a good performance," said the coach. "We had a team of young lads and they worked hard. We got an early goal from Anthony Edgar who had a good night. He played very well but in the end we just ran out of steam and they had a little bit more quality and we got punished in the end."
