00:00Sutherland head coach Regis Labrice has hailed another important win for his side as they
00:05defeated West Premadeur Albion by one goal to nil at the Hawthorne on Saturday thanks
00:09to a Trahulme goal.
00:12An important win, a second in a row after the international break. It was a tough game
00:18because our opponent today I think played well. Probably the scenario helped us because
00:29I think the first half was okay and we scored with this brilliant goal with Trey and after
00:37that because they needed to win, they pushed, they took risks and we were under pressure.
00:45It was really clear so in possession probably we have to improve our ability to keep the
00:50ball and to show more composure, sure, but at the same time our zoneal defence and our
00:58willingness to play as a unit and to manage the game on the edge of this yellow card. We
01:04are impressive and I think for that last part of the season it's really important to have
01:10this mindset.
01:11And finally Middlesbrough head coach Michael Carrick was happy that his side were able to
01:16continue their recent good form in the Championship as they won 2-0 away at Blackburn Rovers on Friday.
01:22Yeah, that was a good win for us. I think it is an important one, everyone is going to get
01:28that little bit more important and we wanted to carry that little run that we've got going
01:31and we wanted to carry it on and I know there is obviously a little bit going on here and
01:37they have had a bit of a sticky patch and a sticky run but they are a good team, they have
01:41got some good players and they made us work for it. Even with the start of the game I never
01:45thought the game was done. We had to keep doing the right things and the boys managed it, seen it off really well.
01:50A clean sheet and it won a really good goal and it was a fantastic goal, a great move and a hell of a finish by Tommy really.
02:03So yeah, it's one of them, you start where you want to keep that going and we managed to back it up and then naturally,
02:09for credit to them, they didn't let the game fizzle out.
