"We were really intelligent and we obviously had a blow earlier on with [hamstring injury victim] Matt Connolly going down very early.
"We had a blow before the game with Fraizer [Campbell] not being fit.
"I thought the boys that came in were fantastic.
"Look at Kevin [Nugent] coming in, playing right-back and he was immense… our back four as a whole blocked crosses, they blocked shots.
"The midfield in front of them, the wingers, the forwards - I can't really pick anybody out because I thought overall it was a real intelligent game plan... and an intelligent team performance.
"I thought we showed real good mentality as well and I thought team-work and intelligence today showed what we're all about."
