“Getting knocked out is very, very hard to take,” Chandler told his club’s official site. “We had our objectives and wanted to go a long way. Those dreams are all over. We weren’t able to assert ourselves over two legs against Saint-Gilloise and deservedly lost. We started very sluggishly, there was a lack of passion. The fans turned up but we didn’t on the pitch.”
