"I was really pleased with the performance. Back-to-back wins for the first time in over a year, the lads are enjoying it. I thought we left a couple of goals out there to be honest, we created some good opportunities, but you can't be too greedy. We showed enjoyment and freshness which was really pleasing."
"We don't want to get too emotional about the situation, we want to focus on the performances and then hopefully we'll be able to enjoy more nights like this."
"I think we have played well for the majority of the season and tonight epitomised the spirit and the fight we have shown. It's massive, we have failed to put back-to-back performances in and it's something we have worked towards."
