MATCH QUOTES

"It was a grand game of football and both sides brought credit on themselves considering the heavy conditions. “Chris [Nicholl] mistimed his header and it [conceding the first goal] was entirely due to conditions. "I suppose we will be called the comeback Kings after this. But I am worried about the early goals we are conceding which can only be put down to lack of concentration for the first 20 minutes or so.” Ron Saunders.
