"We do tend to start games brightly and have a good spell before petering out in the first half. We always seem to come out better after the break and that is something we have to think about. We have to improve our first half displays.
"I am pleased with the result and the second half was a lot better from us.
"We created more chances and got more bodies in the box after the break. I am delighted with a clean sheet as well because there have not been too many of those.
"I always felt that there would be something in the game for us if we could get on the front foot. Our key players did well tonight but to be fair the whole team played their part.
"We defended well tonight against a good side and did not really give them anything of note. We started to play more of the football we want in the second half and we probably have to believe in ourselves more in the opening 45 minutes".
