MATCH QUOTES

“The break [a trip to Bermuda] will give us the chance to get in some hard work. “I think we can win a place in Europe. “We have a very young, talented team learning quickly with each match. “I was pleased with our defensive performance, particularly as we had two youngsters making their League debuts.” Graham Turner gets over excited after beating bottom four side Coventry.
