What they Said
โIt was a great relief to put the result together on Saturday but I must be honest and say that it has come two weeks too late.
โIf it had been the Manchester City or Watford game perhaps things would have been different.
โI think it will prove too little too late.
โWe will give everything we have over these last three games.
โItโs a tough task but we will be in there battling.
"We were all relieved about Saturday.
โWe didn't want to be jeered off the pitch and it would have been on the cards with anything less than that sort of victory.โ
Steve Hunt.
