MATCHDAY QUOTES

"Is Jimmy Brown a good player? What do you think?

“Yes, he's going to be a great player.

“He won the corner from which we scored, and during the whole game I don’t think he stopped running.

“It was his first full League game of the season, although he has played in the League Cup.

“It wasn’t a good match against Barnsley, but I think the players who came in because of injuries did fairly well.

“Things [injuries] have happened all at once.

“It was only a free games ago that we had a settled side.

“Then a crop of injuries meant making quite a few changes.

“But for all that I don’t think Barnsley would have scored if they hadn’t had that penalty.”

Vic Crowe.
