Terry feels fan's pain

As players return to training today following Sunday's defeat, their captain has joined the calls to quickly put the Carling Cup defeat behind them while empathising with supporters' disappointment.
John Terry is the one player on the pitch at the weekend who was part of Chelsea's last cup final defeat. He has been on the winning side in three finals since so has experienced both sides of the coin and saw no lack of desire before the game.
'Speaking to the lads, they desperately wanted it but we went out on the pitch and it didn't happen,' he said.
'I am really disappointed for the fans who travelled and supported us throughout this competition. It is killing me inside and I know they are feeling exactly the same as me and the lads.
'People say the Carling Cup doesn't matter. Tell that to our players. Every year we put a strong side out and that's what got us to the final.
'My message to the boys is that we've got to pick ourselves up. We've got an important game away to West Ham, the Champions League, the FA Cup, it's all coming so quick. We have to get it out of our system. We come back in on Tuesday and we go again and it is down to people like myself, Lamps and Didier to pick people up and get them going.'
Terry attempted to use his powers of motivation on the Wembley pitch during the intervals in action and he spoke to the media about that after the final whistle.
'That's part of my role,' he said. 'I will say my thing, Lampsy will say his, Steve Clarke his, the manager will speak. I felt as though I had to speak and I did.
'We didn't keep the ball as well as we can do. Overall we just weren't at the races. That's the most disappointing thing; we have gone to some tough places in this competition and blowing it on the day, it is not a good feeling.'
He points to a collective lack of awareness defensively for the goal that decided the match and refuses to entertain any excuses for the performance, including the selection procedure.
'Since the manager has taken over he keeps things very close to his chest and none of us knew the team until the day. That's how it has been in every game so it has been no different for us, no change, no excuse.
'That's the way it has got to be, it keeps everyone guessing and everyone on their toes and as a group of players we have to deal with that.
'The determination, the passion, the will to win is still there. In that dressing room there are faces that want to win and hate losing - hate losing in training, hate losing in small games, hate losing in big games.'
