I wasn’t too fussed. You have to accept you can concede at any moment, or your judgement becomes clouded. We lost that game 1-0, but a few weeks later went to Norwich and won 3-2. I’d prefer that over a clean sheet – wins drive you further up the table. That said, conceding isn’t nice. I don’t like the noise of the ball hitting the net or seeing balls in the goal during training. I hate the ball going in the goal, at all.
