Simon Mignolet: "As a footballer, you want to do well and want to win games and finish higher in the table than 17th.
"On that point, it was a disappointing season.
"But then again, there's a reason for that and hopefully next year we can do a lot better.
"Of course, when a new manager comes in, there's new things around and since he's come in, all the games we've played - apart from the Aston Villa game - there were positives. So that's good for the future.
"During the season, you don't really think about how things are going because you still have a lot to fight for, even if that's avoiding relegation.
"But now the season is over, you can make a judgement on how well we've played and how bad we've played.
"Now is a time to look back over the season and for everyone to look in the mirror to see what they can do better for next season."
