"The character of the team [pleased me most] the way we responded to a difficult setback in the second half the personality that we showed through the course of the game, but even more so then it was hugely satisfying for us the team is improving all the time strong glimpses of what we can achieve"
"it's going to take a lot of work to get where we want to go tonight was a very good and important stepping stone for us I was so desperate for the players to get the reward I felt they deserved that's probably why I was more agitated than usual! for [our fans] to travel at this distance and at this expense on a Tuesday night is an incredible contribution so to reward them with a victory is hugely satisfying for us."
"Yeah I'd agree with that first half, we were passive we didn't press with enough aggression second half, we did better and got back in the game just frustrated to concede the goal the way we did, a tight angle from a set play I haven't seen [the free kick that led to the winner] back so I'm not gonna comment on that the first half we were off it not enough intensity they pressed us and forced us into mistakes"
