MATCH QUOTES

"We had too many men out there not playing to their full potential and I don't mean the new signings. "Too often we turned our back on doing the simple things and tried to be too elaborate, and the goals we gave away were from elementary mistakes for which there is no excuse." Ron Saunders.
