We've got to look at this result as a one-off. Maybe other people don't see it like that. They'll say we're back to square one, but it's about what we believe we can achieve. We've got to start off the European Championship qualifiers with confidence and good results behind us - the way we sort of finished this group. Darren Fletcher
