And I did say before to Geoff, if we don't play 100% tonight, we'll get beat.

But we did.

I thought the pressing, the game plan worked tremendously.

And I'm really proud of the lads.

And now we can really push on and try and end the season on a really high note.

Yeah, I think with a Saturday morning off work, they're going to be pretty happy tonight.

The pubs are going to be rocking.

Listen, they needed that.

We've had a tough, tough season.

Anyone that's moved stadiums and moved to, as Alan would know, a fantastic place in the bowling ground to a place like this, you need time to settle in.

towards the end of the season to get a result like that against Spurs.

It's fantastic for everyone, for the manager, for the players.

Now you look forward to Monday morning training because everyone's going to have a smile on their face.

Yeah, well, I think if you look at the way the lads played, any manager that gets that performance out of their players, you know they're behind him.

We've said that over and over again this season, we're behind a manager.

It's not, of course, been all of it.

He's had so much to deal with.

We all have.

but tonight I think the players showed that we are behind him.

As you say, we finished seventh last year.
