Reflecting on the game which saw Kevin Nolan extend his goal-scoring run, the manager was full of praise for the whole team.
“It’s always about sharing goals around the team and if you share the right amount of goals it gets you into the right position in the league,” said Big Sam. “One thing we’ve turned around and why we’re doing so well at the moment is that we’ve stopped, apart from Saturday, conceding from set-plays.
“In the last eight or ten games we’ve started scoring some goals from set-plays and open play and kept clean sheets once we’ve had our defence back together. That was always a recipe for winning football matches.
“The quality of our front play and our final third play is key now. We’re resilient defensively but our final third play is getting much, much better now and of course our finishing is in a top-ten position in terms of the chances that we’re turning into goals.”
