Tommy Craig said:

"I was pleased with the way they went about their jobs, though I thought we were sloppy at times in the first-half. We were much quicker in the second-half and there was a bit more purpose to our football.

"Lewis Guy was among the goals again. He's a bundle of energy, he was a lot of enthusiasm and is really good in deep areas behind the back four. He's always gets a chance and more often than not he'll end up with a goal."
