Oxford United striker Will Lankshear said his final home game for the club was a "bittersweet" occasion after scoring twice in a 4-1 win against Sheffield Wednesday.
Lankshear, who spent the season on loan at the Kassam Stadium from Tottenham Hotspur, took his league goal tally for the season to 11.
"Really disappointed with the results coming in before the game, but I think the lads were outstanding and the attitudes shown," the 21-year-old, who won the club's young player of the year award, told BBC Radio Oxford.
"I think it's harsh. I think we've been a good side this year. I think we've competed in every single game, so it's extremely disappointing.
"But we have to move on and the crowd here supporting us until the very end - they've been outstanding all season.
"For me, I would say I'm sorry for not doing more. But it's such a beautiful club and it makes me emotional even talking about it."
Lankshear said he was "extremely grateful" for the opportunity to play for the club.
"Every time I step on to the pitch in the Championship, it's an absolute blessing. I never believed I'd be here.
"I'll go into the last game and give it my absolute all to see off the season."
Oxford visit promotion-chasing Millwall in their final game of the campaign and could still reach the 50-point mark despite going down.
