Roberto Martinez

"We promised an entertaining afternoon and we delivered, but we were disappointed by our first half performance.

"Maybe the occasion got to us, but we showed real character and a fantastic attitude to come back.

"The scoreline doesn't show the game because we had to go for it and we can be proud of the players.

"We were very disappointed to concede six goals, but we've given it a go over the last 10 weeks and now we can look forward to next season because we know where we need to improve."

Simon Grayson

"It was a strange day - but we did what we said and made sure we won the game we could affect and we've ended in third and we should have two cracking games.

"The other results didn't go our way, but that was always going to be a difficult task, we're just delighted to still have this chance of promotion.

"We knew there would be chances because Swansea had to go for it, but we've come back very well and we were outstanding. Our passing and movement and chances we created were top class. It was a fantastic day and a fantastic occasion.

"We said whatever happens will happen because we know we are the team people should fear. We've got to keep the momentum and keep working hard because we have a local derby, so it's got all the ingredients for a cracker and we hoping we can come out on top."
