Edinburgh coach Michael Bradley admits his 'disappointment' with the Heineken Cup defeat to Racing Metro at the weekend.

Edinburgh coach Michael Bradley has admitted that he was "disappointed" with his side's 19-9 defeat to Racing Metro in the Heineken Cup at the weekend.

The side have lost all three of their Pool One games thus far and Bradley has claimed that their performance levels have dropped in recent weeks.

"We're disappointed with the result because we came here to win and we didn't. We haven't performed to the levels and standards we set ourselves in the first two games of this Heineken Cup season but this was totally different and we were in the game right to the last minute," Bradley told reporters.

"The boys played well and the frustrating thing is that we had opportunities throughout the game. The period at the start of the second half saw us dominate the game and I felt that if we could have scored then, the game would have swung our way.

"But to give Racing their credit, they produced a strong defensive show in that 20-minute period to hold us out, which was a crucial part of the match. Unfortunately they then scored a try with probably their only real shot at our line in the second half and that was it. On another day, it could all have been very different."

Edinburgh reached the semi-finals of the tournament last year.
