"We always pride ourselves on that and I thought the lads responded really well. 

"It wasn’t a perfect performance from us, we’re not deluded and we know we can do a lot better, but we showed the mental qualities needed and we had enough quality to get through.

"It was important we responded (to conceding). The longer it goes on the more anxiety can creep in." 

"It was a great response from that goal. It was a real test of nerve for us – how were we going to react? 

"It was really pleasing to see us equalise early, and I think that settled us down. From that moment, we were pretty good.”

On Lewis Miley:

What a brilliant finish from Lewis Miley. From that moment we settled into the game.

"Lewis played very well. He brings loads of composure and quality on the ball."

On William Osula:

"It was a big moment for Will. Any striker wants to score when they go to a new club – they want to score early just to settle them down. He’s been waiting and waiting, and needing that goal really. 

"It was a spectacular one when it came – what a strike from him. I’m delighted for him personally, he needed that.

"I feel a little bit for him because in the two games that he's started here - Wimbledon and Bromley today - he's played against a back five and had minimal space, with a congested backline. 

"We have a lot of the ball, but we're working in limited space areas and that's not really Will's best asset.

"His best asset, as you saw from the goal, is his pace and he can score. We have seen that regularly in training, he can score, he's a good finisher.

“I think you have to be patient with all the players because everyone develops at different rates. As long as I see the right attitude and the right commitment to the process, I'll back a player and I'll wait until the time is ready for them to step into the team.

"We always, me and the players and the coaches, we go on a journey, respective journeys with players. It's never a straight line, there are always ups and downs on the way.”

On Trevan Sanusi:

"He needs to add the physicality that he'll need to survive - people will target him. His end product needs to get better; we will continue to work with him on that." 

On the substitutions:

"Bruno and Joelinton was planned. It was pre-planned as much as you can, because you can always change your mind, but it’s something I always wanted to do with those two.

"It was different with Harvey Barnes – that wasn’t planned. He felt a muscle problem, so we had to withdraw him at half-time.”

On player omissions:

"Joe (Willock) just felt something in training yesterday. It was a muscular problem. I don’t think it’s serious, but it was enough for us not to take the risk with him today. 

"It’s similar with Alex(ander Isak), Sven (Botman) and Jacob (Murphy) – it’s similar with all four of them.”

On Martin Dubravka:

“There’s no fresh update with Martin, but I don’t expect there to be one. Touch wood, I hope Martin will stay. I don’t think that will change.

“We’ve had discussions about his future, but I think we’re very relaxed. As I said previously, he’s never said that he wanted to leave.
