Press Conferences

Steven Schumacher: "It’s great support, isn't it, to sell out for one of these types of fixtures when you’re already through? It shows that the fans are going to take it seriously and so are we. We want to go there and win any game of football. We’re so competitive, that's what we want to do.

"We're just trying to keep that good feeling about the club which we've got at the moment and just trying to keep it going, so the best way to do that is playing well and getting the three points.

"I said to the players immediately after the game in the dressing room on Saturday that it was a really good performance and a good win. We see that everyone's playing with confidence and we want that to continue."
