MATCH QUOTES

“He [Dave Simmons] is not yet match fit, but three goals from two games must be good. “I know he looked out of touch in the first half but this must be expected. “He must have time to settle down to second division football, but he certainly is not slow. “He took both those chances very sharply.” Tommy Docherty.
