Gary O'Neil was linked with a January move back to former club Portsmouth after struggling to settle on Teesside, but he stayed and suffered relegation ... like the rest of us.

Gary O'Neil: "It's a horrible feeling. It was my worst day in football by far.

"I have never experienced anything like it and everybody's hurting.

"It's a very tough league and we just came up short. We seemed to have numerous chances to get ourselves out of it, but we didn't take them and that's really disappointing."
