John Hughs Three Quotations

That's now 42 goals against which averages two a game. That means we need to get three goals to win a match. That's why we went five at the back, to give them a hand. We sacrificed the flair up front, knowing that they were on the bench and we could throw them on.

It's finally something that you can hang your hat on, ... I think the one-day rally always is more impressive to the average person, but people should be more impressed with the last three days.

We know the economy is slow and that the quarter isn't great, so these weak pre-announcements are no surprise, ... The trend of the last three months has been rally, go sideways, rally, go sideways, so we're just following that.

I fully expected Livingston to cause us a bit of discomfort in these last few weeks. But our future is very much in our own hands just now and I can't ask any more from the players than what they are giving me just now. We are unbeaten in our last three games, we have lost only one goal in that time and we are picking up points. My only criticism is that the players are showing the tension they are obviously feeling and that is stopping them from playing in their usual free-flowing manner, but it is an understandable reaction bearing in mind what is at stake. All I can ask is that they remain focused and concentrate on winning their last four games.
