Aidy Boothroyd declared himself "gutted" by last night's play-off semi-final defeat but said he had no qualms about the result.

"I thought we played very well," said the manager. "We stuck to the gameplan, played some terrific football but we conceded a poor goal just before half-time.

"We were unfortunate in the end but you reap what you sow. We didn't take our chances and didn't deserve a place in the final or in the Premiership. We are where we are for a reason but I'm gutted for everyone at the club who has worked so hard."

Added Boothroyd: "I'm proud of my players and but for mistakes it could have been a different story.

"Four-one was harsh on us but that happens when you get caught out chasing the game. Credit to Hull, they deserve to go through."
