MATCH QUOTES
"We showed what could be achieved with sheer guts and determination. “We have now lost only one of our last seven games and the spirit in the side is obvious. “But it is vital that we maintain the same attitude for the rest of the season. "Tony was terribly unlucky, but I shall have to leave my verdict at that. "I would be crucified if I said what I really thought [about referee David Scott].” Graham Turner. “Nine points should do it it could even be less. "But we must definitely aim to win our last three home games. "This was our best away performance since I rejoined the club. “And we did it with ten men at one of the most difficult places in the First Division. "We have given ourselves a great chance of climbing out of trouble and in my own mind I have no doubt that we can do it." Steve Hunt.
