From the outside, it always looks very different to what it's like and everyone at the club has been so good. My coaching staff, backroom staff, the players have been great. It hasn't been the whirlwind it probably seems."
"I don't want to get carried away with all of the DNA kind of thing. We wanted to play well today. We wanted to put things into the game that would help us to do that, we wanted to be good defensively as a whole team. We felt that we had a threat when he had the ball and in transitions, at times, but, when we did have the ball, I felt we did look dangerous."
