“I have mixed emotions. I was disappointed at half-time. It was a competitive match. They were up and at us. They were direct and physical in their play.
"We were much improved in the second half but for the crossbar and the post and a goalkeeping save, we were a little short. In the second half, we were much more in control.
“They have not created too much. That is four games and we’ve only conceded one goal, so the players are looking really solid, defensively.
"This is a really difficult place to come. It was an uncomfortable game. We could have been more comfortable in terms of our play, but the team has got a foundation at the moment competing and matching the opposition and putting their bodies on the line."
“We were trying to win the game in the end as you saw from the substitutions. We just needed one of those moments."
"In the second half we had more control and some really good breakaways without being clinical or putting the ball exactly where we needed it in the second half.
"I'll ask for more and more as we progress."
