What they Said
โWhere thereโs life thereโs hope.
โWe have by no means given up.
โAnother two points tomorrow at home to Oxford could put a completely different complexion on things.
โI am proud the way we fought in such a crucial game as this.โ
Herbert Douglas Ellis.
โIโm pleased we won but Iโm more pleased at the way in which we won.
โIf we had won by a scrambled goal we might have gone away kidding ourselves that everything would be alright.
โBut this victory was convincing, good for our morale, and it will renew the faith, confidence and pride of both the team and our supporters.โ
Vic Crowe.
