What they Said
"I have not seen them play as well all season.
โThey did everything right and their approach work was quite superb.
"We could have scored five goals and not been flattered and I am not detracting from Sheffield Wednesday's performance.
โThese sort of things [not scoring more] happen when you have been so well in command.
"Players tend to believe the two points have been won and they relax.
โThey should not, of course, but they are only human."
Vic Crowe.
