NIGEL PEARSON:


“I felt my players really wanted it and from the first second we’re really up for this game, I can’t fault them.”

"I don’t think we’re a side that can sit back and absorb too much I think we’re really much better when we press because the higher, we win the ball back the more chances we create, we’re that type of team.”

"But look it was a very honest performance, lots of good individual performances out there too, but no the team’s developing an identity they should be proud of. It was a good way to spend my 59th birthday.”


"It was a really hard-fought game. They could’ve had one or two goals and we could’ve scored quite a few more so it’s a really good performance a very positive day for us.”

"I tend to reflect on what we’ve done so far and I think in all the games that we’ve played so far there’s been some really positive things. Mistakes are going to be made and sometimes you get heavily punished for them but I’m really pleased for the players today and the fans too.”
