You wanted your players to be brave and play their football, did you see that today?
Yeah absolutely. Really pleased. They’re a top side, it’s a tough place to come, not much went our way today. We conceded an unlucky own goal, then a VAR penalty, so it’s not like everything was falling in our favour as well. Just a real character and resilience the boys showed, a real belief in the kind of team we want to be, even though there was times today when it was difficult to do that. They just kept persevering and persevering and that’s a credit to them
You had many young players out there and some on yellow cards, are you pleased with the maturity they showed?
Yeah, that’s all part of it. There’s a real will and desire to become the team we want to be, which includes making sure that you’re disciplined and you’re buying into the team ethos and we had a really young team out there today.
