"We appreciate it so much, more because weve been unluky in the last two month," he said after the game.

"We've not deserved 11 games without a win. We've had good games like the one we had this evening but it's been a bad spell.

"We've beaten a good team. They are on a high and getting good results.
we wanted to have a go at them and make things happen.

"I liked the fact that we dug in and showed defensive qualities. I also liked the fact that we played some good football. We had two or three more chances and were better than them.

"It's sometimes good to win 1-0 away from home because it means the defence has done a good job.

"We know we have four games in 11 days. The boys are aware of that. I know their talent and what they are capable of.

"We had to stay strong during the bad spell and we will finish stronger."
