What they Said
โThere has been a 100 per cent improvement in the team since the start of the season.
โThe players are giving me the effort I want.
โIโm particularly pleased that we pulled off this victory against Blackpool by playing attacking football.
โObviously, there is still a lot of hard work to be done, but we are beginning to look like a real team and I think we have turned the corner.
โThis boy Greenhalgh is only 20, and Iโm certain heโs going to be a great centre forward.
โThe inside forward trio are now looking pretty good with Mitchinson supplying the passes and Greenhalgh and Godfrey snapping up the chances.โ
Tommy Cummings.
