Moyes dismissed the result, citing that his squad is short of numbers. He explained that he's not overly concerned about the defeat, but rather the fact that he doesn't have the players he needs to compete. Moyes acknowledged that his team is facing a tough challenge, especially with some key players missing due to injury.

He stated that his team is struggling due to a lack of numbers, and that they need to get their better players back and add to the squad to improve their chances. Moyes also noted that there is a bigger turnover of players in the league now, with many clubs signing big numbers every season.

Moyes also mentioned that his team's situation is partly due to the position they were in, with some players not available as soon as they would have liked. The loss of Jarrad Branthwaite and Tom Davies (Tarky) to injury also made things more difficult for the team.

However, Moyes emphasized that there are no excuses for their performances, and that they need to focus on improving their results. He believes that his team is working hard and that they will get their players back and improve their chances soon.
