Coach Willie Donachie:
It was an outstanding performance considering in the back four we had
three youth team age and two first years playing against a Scottish
international (Naismith) and some experienced people.
"I really feel sorry for them but the good thing is some young players
have shown the potential they've got. Once Rolando (Aarons) came on
and Brad and Sammy were up the middle, we were much more of a goal threat
and I think that was the difference, as well as people just settling down.
Once we scored, we realised we could do it.
"You've got to give Everton credit - they're an experienced team with a
lot of good athletes and people who have played in the Premier League and
international players. I wouldn't say it was nerves, it was just
inexperience and maybe in the first half we didn't believe enough.
"But once we started playing and scoring, we realised we could win the
game. To lose on penalties is horrible. Luckily it's not happened to me very
often, but everybody's sick for the players.
"Basically that's the end of the season for them but, as Peter (Beardsley)
said to them, it's a good omen for next season. If they carry on from that
performance, the future's good.
"Macaulay (Gillesphey), considering, he's very inexperienced and
he's not really a left-back - he's more a central defender - was
outstanding.
"Lubo (Satka) did well against a Scottish international and I
thought Tav, although early on he gave the ball away, by the end he showed
great leadership qualities. As the game went on, Bigi, Sammy and Brad came
into their own and showed that they can play at the top."
