MATCH QUOTES

"I have not seen them play as well all season. “They did everything right and their approach work was quite superb. "We could have scored five goals and not been flattered and I am not detracting from Sheffield Wednesday's performance. “These sort of things [not scoring more] happen when you have been so well in command. "Players tend to believe the two points have been won and they relax. “They should not, of course, but they are only human." Vic Crowe.
