Ahead of this weekend's home clash with Burton Albion, McCann said he stood by his comments '“Â and that the things he saw which irritated him stemmed from inexperience.
'We've got some young boys in there - Mallik Wilks and Herbie Kane for example - who have been absolutely outstanding for us this season,' he said.
'But they're learning the game. Mallik and Herbie are learning the game.
'You can get away with it when you're 3-0 up.

'We've ironed that out this week.
'We're here to win football games. And by doing that you keep doing what gets you in the lead at 2-0 up.
'They know that. It's been ironed out this week.
'That's what I mean about taking your foot off the gas and maybe being a wee bit arrogant.
'There's not a bit of arrogance about the two boys. They're two humble boys.

'We have to make sure we keep level, we don't get ahead of ourselves. Win, lose or draw, 2-0 up or 2-0 down, we stay calm, we play our game and try and get the job done.'
