MATCH QUOTES

“We don’t talk about the problem [Andy Lochhead not scoring for the fifteenth game since signing from Leicester]. “It is a situation that will sort itself out, and Andy is still making a valuable contribution to the team. “He had a hand in both the goals we got against Swansea. One of them came from his head, and the other he helped set by holding on to the ball in a tight situation.” Vic Crowe.
