"It was just the sort of win we needed. We felt that we had a good start to the game after a good week of preparation, but we were then disappointed with the last 30 minutes of the first half.

"I thought we were getting lots and lots of effort from quite a few players but I thought we had one too many passengers.

"That was passed on to the players at half time and we were delighted with the response in the second-half."
