Mowbray draws positives from Euro exit
Mowbray was pleased with his side's performance but admitted his side's hopes of progress had suffered because of their failure to take their chances in their previous group games.[LNB]Mowbray told ITV Sport: "I think it was a solid and disciplined European performance. We took our opportunities whereas in the first four games we've probably had as many chances and not taken them.[LNB]"It's a very fine margin in football and you take your chances and you miss some. They've all been tight games and we've been a little bit unfortunate that we're out.[LNB]"But I think we can take encouragement from tonight. We won pretty comfortably in the end and we've got to take what we've learned this year into hopefully a Champions League campaign next year."[LNB]Midfielder Aiden McGeady admitted recent criticism of his side's patchy form was justified and said they only had themselves to blame for finding themselves dumped out of continental competition.[LNB]McGeady said: "The first half we played the way we started the season. It's been a bit up and down and I think it (criticism) is justified because we've not been playing the way we can.[LNB]"We've only got ourselves to blame for the position we've got ourselves in. It's down to games we should have won and chances we've missed. But hopefully this will give us the platform to kick on for the season."[LNB][LNB]
