Coach's Quotes – Julian Richens

• "We have had some very good performances away from home recently. We got control of the game in the second half and were slightly unfortunate not to come away with all three points."
• "Our home form clearly needs to improve - the bye week has come at a good time for us to refocus and for players to get healthy."
