 Gaffer into the quarter-finals of the Bristol Street Motorstrophy, a real dogged performance tonight, but a pleasing one-hour margin. Yeah, I think it was a bit better than dogged, I thought the defending was superb, I thought the way we pressed them all the way through the game. A lot of energy spent from the players and I thought we had some unbelievable chances to score right in the first half, maybe half an hour, the second half, we didn't create that much but then we got the goal and we had a couple of counter-attacks where we could have extended the lead and made it a bit more comfortable because we know we've come into a quality team with a lot of quality in the pitch, they've made some big subs at half-time and I thought the team defended superbly but they trusted each other, they were connected and we didn't take a step back, we wanted to turn the ball over as high as possible as we possibly could and try and create from it and we're delighted with the result. They started with a strong enough team and as you said the changes that they made, the team that they finished with more or less was their league team. For us to come here and put in the performance we did and come away with the victory, how much does that say about us and the performance we've put in to be up there challenging with a team like that? Yeah, 100% I think you spawn, you are what you do, we can say whatever we want but we have to go and do it and I think every player that took the pitch today did what they were supposed to do and more and there's a few boys in there that haven't played for months. I think the day's first start for maybe nearly a year, Kevin MacDonald for a few months, Harry Chapman for a few months, Stubbs, he hasn't been in the team for a while, I could go through and just the energy they spent, we were sort of thinking if we could get an hour out of them we'd be happy but essentially didn't want to change it because we were playing so well but we had to do the right thing, I think bringing the fresh legs on up front, the front three and then give us a fresh impetus with our pressing, with our counter attacks and so yeah, the players were superb, they're delighted in there because I feel we've been harshly dealt with results-wise in the previous two games but to come here, we've got our rewards from that. Suppose that's one of the most pleasing things from your point of view as well, where you make seven changes, there's lads like you say, coming in who have not played an awful lot of football over the past couple of months but you wouldn't have thought that by looking at the performance and they've certainly done themselves no harm, there's lads who have come in. No, well that's what we wanted, you know, and there was Bobby in there as well who's obviously a young player but he hasn't played much either recently so there's quite a few lads like seven changes. Doyler, I don't want to miss big Doyler out of it as well but less energy in goal than the outfield players but we want to train in a certain way that prepares everybody to be able to play and we speak to the players that haven't been playing that we're going to train them hard to make sure they're ready for when they get the opportunity to perform like that. You know, they want to do themselves justice but I don't think every player that talks to the pitch tonight can say that and I'm including the ones that played on Saturday as well, you know, like Ryde and Richie and Gilly and there's one of them there now, I think, it had been JT. You know, those guys have put their bodies on the line again tonight so we want to create a good squad and a competitive squad I think with the way the performance have been previous to the last couple of results we haven't changed the team much and rightly so I think the players deserve a staying team but the players that haven't been in a team have shown that they're more than capable of helping us win games from now to end of the season so I'm delighted. That was, if I could have asked for anything tonight it would have been everything that I saw tonight. Five wins out of five in this competition this season but it's also on occasion this season provided us with a bit of a confidence boost, a bit of a boost in general heading into our next league game when we've started runs of form from there obviously after, like you mentioned, results may be going against us in the past couple of games and not exactly what we've deserved. How important can today be heading into the week when we go to culture to get back on track in the league a little bit? Yeah, I agree with that. I think it's certainly happening in the last couple of games and we obviously want it to happen after tonight and winning games at football is an energy giver the support we had tonight and the noise we had and the reception at the end everyone's feeling good. It's connected with gravity and winning games at football is the main energy booster of any football club and we've won a really hard game tonight a really top team and we have to take it into every competition we play we want to win every game we play we'll take a lot of the analysis from that and what we did because we changed the shape a little bit that's the first time we played that shape today but we kept it quite clear for the players and I thought they took that on board really well and caused a lot of problems in the first half and then the second half I thought it was more of one of them grinding out the result.
