“I hope, even in some of the defeats where we played well, people can see how we are trying to play. It doesn't always pan out.
“But if you watched the first 15-20 minutes after half-time on Saturday – that's how we're trying to play. Some of the goals we've scored have been excellent like the team goal at Doncaster, and we hope we can do more in the second half of the season.”

“The fans have been outstanding,” he said.
“We know when we're winning everybody gets behind you, but we really appreciated them when we were losing.
“They showed a level of understanding that a lot of football supporters don't.

“They see Stephen Quinn and know he's one of our best players as well as James Perch. To lose two players like that is very difficult to cope with.
“We also had quite a few decisions went against us. We don't want to moan too much about them, but we have not had any major decisions go against us in the last few weeks in the current run.
“In the run we couldn't win there were result-defining errors by officials, which you're always going to get.”
