Sky Sports<\/em>: \u201cI was disappointed with the first half performance.<\/p>\n“We are a developing team, but we are used to getting beat really. We haven\u2019t got that winning mentality at the moment and to lose a goal in the first five minutes killed us.<\/p>\n
“From then on, in the next 20-25 minutes we struggled to be fair.\u201d<\/p>\n
But Speed was pleased with how his side reacted in the second half and believes they will develop as a side over time.<\/p>\n
He conceded the Three Lions were far better on the day but was delighted with his players’ attitude as they did not give up despite being outclassed for the majority of the match.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe way they came out in the second half and played – we tried to get on the ball and showed some spirit, which bodes well for the future,” said Speed.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
“We are a developing team. Hopefullya year from\u00a0 now we will look back at this game at think we have learned lots from it.<\/p>\n
\u201cEngland are a very good team and they showed that first half, but I am delighted with the way they went about it in the second half because they could have easily thrown the towel in but they didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
“We had a lot of possession without causing their goalie to many problems but Wayne Hennessey didn\u2019t have too much to do second half either.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speed was also pleased to see his team try to play football and not resort panic tactics after falling behidn early on.<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cThe positives are the way they came out second half and carried on doing the things we want them to do.<\/p>\n
“We are trying to develop a style of play and it\u2019s going to make us successful and this is the first game of that. So like I say a year or two or further down the line we can nail that down and make us successful.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re a top team, they\u2019re top six in the world and they played well first half. They did their homework a little bit I suppose and they closed us down really well and stopped us playing which is want we want to do. But I was pleased with our second half performance.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe players are all down and disappointed in the dressing room and rightly so – we all are with the result.<\/p>\n
“But looking at the bigger picture into the future we\u2019ll learn from this – England are a top team we won\u2019t always be playing teams as good as England and along the way hopefully that style can develop and make us successful.\u201d <\/p>\n
